You have taken a heroic first step towards improving your life. I'd like to support and empower you in that journey.
I am licensed in Florida with 29 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect; and it is the foundation of our work together. In my work I combine client-centered therapy, mindfulness techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies to empower individuals to work toward and reached their goals.
I have helped people with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, overcoming trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and other areas of their lives. I am also a Veteran of the United States Army and can assist other Veterans with the challenges they face in everyday life.
I see out work together as a collaboration between you and I. I believe you are the expert of your story and you already possess strengths and skills to assist you with the challenges you face. I bring clinical knowledge and expertise from 29 years of working as a Clinical Social Worker. Together, we will work on what’s important to you and the goals you set. My hope is that we find ways to help you make the improvements in your life and make your goals a reality.
I look forward to meeting you. ☺️

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
