I have been licensed in Florida over 20 years experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, OCD, ADHD, substance abuse issues, crisis intervention, self esteem, grief and loss. I have worked in number of settings including jails, courts, psychiatric hospitals, treatment centers domestic violence shelters and private practice. I have been instrumental in helping individuals who have experienced physical, sexual and emotional trauma.
My therapy style is warm, interactive, motivating and when appropriate humor. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion and I don't believe in stigmitizing labels. I will work with you to achieve your goals. I believe that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the issues that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the 'first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My approach combines a number of therapy styles. I have training in cognitive -behavioral therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic and treatment planning to meet your needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is so amazing, at my worst, she helped keep my spirits up and has gotten me through my worst moments. If it wasn’t for her, I would have given up and be in a dark place right now. Please, please please, get yourself a Pamela
I like working with Pam. We are new together so I am interested in her willingness to listen and provide feedback and solutions
