Thank you for considering me for your mental health needs. I have helped children/adolescents with behavioral challenges, adults with mood, work, and parenting concerns, couples/families with communication issues, and elderly clients facing grief/loss. I have provided extensive assessment/consultation services to Florida's juvenile justice and child welfare systems, as well as academic testing for school-age children. One current area of interest is electronic overuse among children/adults. I understand the challenges facing youth raised in the digital age, and the work, family, and extracurricular demands on a parent's time.
I generally use a short-term, family systems informed cognitive-behavioral approach. Everyone is different in how their situation affects them. I strive to work collaboratively with you to modify your thinking, coping, and stress management skills so that my role becomes obsolete. I believe this is the most ethical and cost effective way to assist people.
In addition to seeing clients in my office, I offer some home-based services depending on location/proximity to my office/daily route. For those individuals with no insurance, high deductible plans, or insurance that I do not yet accept, I offer discounted cash rates. I look forward to working with you and your family to reach your therapeutic goals.
