About me
Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, specializing in children and adolescents. I have been in the field for over 20 years, with over 15 years specifically working with adolescent females between the ages of 11 and 19 struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, parent-child conflict, trauma, and self harming behaviors.
I utilize a psychodynamic approach with CBT, DBT, and TF-CBT . I also incorporate art and play therapy techniques as well, especially when building rapport and when exploring underlying issues that teens may find difficult to verbalize. I will be sure to tailor our sessions with the best approaches to meet your loved one's individualized needs.
I have a passion for mental health and helping others feel better. My style is emphatic and nonjudgmental as I treat everyone with respect, compassion and validation. Children and adolescents have a difficult time expressing themselves at times and often feel they are not being heard or understood. Sometimes children and teens do not know who to turn to for help out of fear their words will be "spread around." Using a platform such as this will allow your child to feel more comfortable in a less intrusive environment, such as an office setting, where they can use their phone or computer to talk to someone who can help them feel better. It is very courageous of you to make the first step in asking for help and wanting your child to feel better. When you are ready, I am here to listen, support and help you and your child feel empowered!
I look forward to working with you and hearing more about you and your child's story!
