I am a Mental health counselor licensed in Florida and Colorado. I have over 6 years of experience working with families, couples, and individuals. Prior to becoming a Counselor, I was in the US Army for 12 years. I have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of counselor positions treating both children and adults. These include inpatient psychiatric, military school environment, substance abuse facility, and most recently as an independent contractor with Better Help. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, mood disorders, and a range of mental health issues. I also work with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm, engaging, and encouraging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am excited that you have taken the first steps toward reaching your goal of a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take these steps, then I am ready to begin today.
