About me

Greetings! My name is Markyse and I am the licensed clinical social worker. Seeking emotional support can be a daunting or awkward experience, so I pride myself in meeting my clients where they are by providing messaging, phone, or video call for our sessions. My counseling approach is empathetic, but goal-oriented and realistic. My goal is to help clients understand that there is no light at the end of the tunnel—YOU are the light in the tunnel, and through our work together you will unleash your radiance to shine, and live a happier lifestyle.

Sometimes parents just don't get it. You are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to create a safe space with you, filled with empathy and unconditional positive regard. I want our work together to allow you the opportunity to truly express yourself, and minimize or resolve your identified stressors.

I was born and raised in South Florida and graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree from Barry University. I am currently working on a PhD degree in social work. When I'm not writing papers and working with clients, I enjoy gardening, traveling, listening to music, and learning how to play the ukulele. Music is a huge part of my life, and I believe in the power of music in healing, so don't be surprised if I use music related interventions in our work together!

We have had only three sessions together and already I'm using some tools ,affirmations and strategies that she has helped me create for the issues I am having. Slowly creating a new mindset and way of thinking in my relationship. I'm so excited.

Markyse has been incredibly helpful since day one. She takes the time to ask you questions about yourself so you can slowly feel comfortable and share with her. She’s understanding of my irrational thoughts and has given me great tools to help counter my internalized negativity. Our first session, she was engaged and I felt very heard. Not only would I recommend to a friend, but I already have!

Markyse has helped me overcome my nervousness about therapy, because she is amazingly respectful and makes me feel comfortable sharing and spilling out anything on my mind. I feel comfortable sharing my experiences with her and she has a positive approach to every conversation we have :)
