More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 24 State: Kentucky

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ineffective communication skills, grief, stages of life issues and career challenges.

My therapy style is relaxed, patient and supportive. I collaborate with clients to determine the goals of treatment and the best approach for each individual. I incorporate client’s strengths as well as the areas of concern.

My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral and solution focused therapy.

It takes self-awareness and courage to identify barriers to the positive life you want and to make the decision to work toward making those changes. I’m pleased to partner with you on this journey.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and to starting the journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Very kind and understanding! She asks questions to get to what is truly the cause of my problems and fully understand everything, even when I make no sense. I love speaking to her because I don’t feel judged or misunderstood and she always makes sure that I get to address everything on my mind. She’s the best!
