As a National Board Certified Counselor(NCC) since 2000, Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC in FL) since 2002, and Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC in GA) since 2021, I help people by facilitating positive change in their lives. I help clients who are dealing with depressive symptoms, anxiety, life stressors, adjustment and relationship issues by assisting them in identifying the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome struggles/obstacles and reach their full potential. I attempt to provide a relaxing, non-judgmental environment to allow people to be heard and understood so healing and/or growth can begin. My style is client focused, adapting to your needs and goals by utilizing reflective listening and ensuring your therapeutic goals are reasonable and achievable. I believe you can make positive change. I also incorporate therapeutic humor at times. I have 25+ years of experience helping people address a variety of issues including depression; anxiety; stress management; anger management; frustration tolerance; self esteem; ego; intimacy issues; assertiveness; social, coping and relationship skills. Through our collaborative efforts, we can access & build upon your strengths to facilitate healthy, positive change, learn skills, become unstuck, & overcome obstacles(like anxiety & depression) to healing &/or growth, & work toward achieving your goals.
