I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Nationally Certified Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are affected by life stage transitions, depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, alcohol/drug addiction, relationship discord, and traumatic experiences. I believe the special connection between therapist and client is the most important aspect of the therapy process. My role is to support, encourage, and collaborate with you on assigning helpful meanings to your life circumstances, identifying your strengths, and developing skills to cope. I integrate the best components of several therapies to help you build motivation to make positive changes, regulate your emotions, change unhelpful thinking styles and modify dysfunctional behavior patterns. My motto is to be useful, truthful, and kind.
