I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). I received a BS degree in Psychology at the University of Central Florida. I attended Nova Southeastern University receiving a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have over 15 years experience working as mental health therapist and addiction counselor. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and integrative therapy. My style is warm, transparent, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Perhaps you're tired of the same old thing: You walk into a therapist's office, sit down and wonder, "Can this person really help?" In my office, I may be the expert, with a PhD in clinical psychology and almost 20 years of experience, but my expertise is in guiding you toward your own wisdom and your own concept of healing. If you struggle with inauthentic relationships that are disconnected, empty or wanting, know that our work is about connection, authenticity and creating a full rich life. Common struggles I see are anxiety, depression and trauma in adults, kids and couples. Bring your family, your partner, even your pets.

I believe that intervention is one of the most effective ways to help someone suffering from alcoholism, substance abuse, eating disorders or other process addictions, such as gambling, internet, or sex addiction. I have been fortunate to have an amazing success rate and, in certain circumstances, will refund fees if the intervention is unsuccessful after a level III family meeting. Intervention is necessary in cases of addictive behaviors because the addiction cannot survive without denial and delusion of the consequences of the individual's actions and behaviors. It is a life changing, life affirming event for all concerned.

Talking things out is good. Holding things in, is not. If you go to doctors for your body, then why wouldn't you go to a doctor for your mind? There is nothing wrong with working on your thoughts and emotions, in fact, if everyone worked on their inner world, we would have a completely different outer world. If you're ready to start working on your self, your relationships, or if you feel like you're not achieving your potential, then give me a call.
