About My Clients
As my client, you will receive unconditional positive regard, open-mindedness and the utmost respect for the journey that landed you here. Your priorities are my priorities. I became a Therapist because therapy changed my life. I am passionate about helping others in the way my Therapist helped me. I work with adults, adolescents and couples to gain personal insight, overcome barriers and learn interpersonal and emotional skills to help them reach the next level.
My Background and Approach
Both of my degrees were earned from The University of South Florida, FL. My Master’s degree is in Mental Health Counseling, and I completed a certificate program in Integrative Counseling. Since then, I have worked in a variety of environments including crisis units at a hospital, wilderness therapy, equine-assisted therapy, elementary, middle and high schools, and in private practice. I take pride in always being interested in learning new things and expanding my skill set. It is my belief that a good counselor is constantly evolving and developing new skills in order to meet each client where he or she is standing in that moment. I begin by getting to know you as a person so I can best support and empower you. I help you see your strengths and how to best utilized them. I have a direct and logical approach while placing emphasis on learning to cope with emotions in a healthy way. I believe that learning coping strategies and communication skills is paramount to being happy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
On Therapy: I am deeply humbled when a client invites me into their inner world and gives me the privilege to help enact positive changes. I take this privilege very seriously, as the quality of the relationship between a Therapist and a client is one of the best indicators to successful therapy. On Life: I have a bumper sticker that says “I brake for interesting cloud formations…” It’s funny because it’s true! It is my personal belief that the natural world holds the answers to so many of life’s mysteries. It is from nature we can learn the secrets to a happy, healthy life. I strive to live this every day.
