About My Clients
Allow me to introduce my philosophy as a therapist: exploration is essential as an ally, focusing on empowerment to reach your mission in life, and horizons are to broaden through various perspectives. I focus on a full holistic approach, looking at all characteristics in your life and presenting possible solutions, exploration, and processing feelings and thoughts. I’m very receptive, always with an open mind, and looking forward to always meeting and starting with new clients!
My Background and Approach
My professional background includes a BSW and MSW from UCF, and I'm a qualified supervisor for licensure. I have experience working with ages 3 to older adults with various presenting barriers such as addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, domestic violence, trauma, among many more. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. My style focuses on a holistic perspective; I look at the entire picture, everything from support systems, coping skills, self care, goals, trauma, and everything else presented. I love to try new interventions, use worksheets and articles, and strive to stay updated with new strategies to work with in therapy. As well, I’m incredibly open to feedback, I love to know what helps and what doesn’t, and I’ll adjust as needed. The main approach here for myself is, meet my clients needs, so I’m here to help and assist in your journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Throughout my career, I’ve been involved in varies activities and community groups. I’ve worked with the military population and volunteered at the VA Clinic for 20 years, while also involved with veterans retreats for about 2 years. I’ve been involved with the LGBTQ community in Central Florida. My therapeutic style is very laid back, casual, and relaxed. I do not hold an agenda for my clients, I am here to be of help and facilitate. I truly try to embody full acceptance and meeting my client where they want to start and where they want to go in their journey. I value reliance, dedication, loyalty, genuineness, and wittiness! Always have to have some fun in between the hard work!
