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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
