Accepting Clients

I'm passionate about supporting my clients and helping them through their difficult times and stressful situations.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Fort Lauderdale, FL

About My Clients

I've worked primarily with children ages 5 through young adults in college. I am particularly strong at building rapport with adolescents and young adults (ages 14-24). Some of the areas that I have the most experience with include ADHD, Anxiety, relationship/family conflict, self esteem issues, and parenting support.

My Background and Approach

I am a certified Attention Deficit Consultant and also a Certified Grief Counselor. I am licensed as an LMHC in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I offer in person sessions in Fort Lauderdale or telehealth options. With clients ages 5-12, I only offer in person sessions, with the exception of some telehealth sessions for their parent/guardian.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I strive to be professional yet genuine. I try to incorporate a light-hearted and humorous side to help clients feel comfortable. I believe in balancing being a good and supportive listener, with providing helpful psychoeducation, and strategies. I try to be respectful and non-judgmental and help people feel confident to approach challenging situations and strengthen their self-esteem.
