Congratulations on taking a step to a better you! It is my desire to be a helping hand along the journey.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have over 15 years of experience working in the behavioral health field. I have worked with various population groups over the years. I have specialized training and experience treating co-occurring disorders, trauma, and also working with individuals who have experienced Human Trafficking (HT) and/or the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC).
I believe the client is the expert. My therapeutic approach is supportive and transformative. There is no one theory that suits every scenario. Therefore, I use integrative methods utilizing the major therapy styles (Cognitive, Behavioral, Psychoanalysis, Humanistic and Holistic). I believe in advocating and educating with dignity and respect. Empathy, equity, and excellence are my driving forces. Compassion are care are a couple of my strengths. Above all, we will work together to develop a treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
It would be my pleasure to work with you. Well wishes on your journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

EJ is an incredible therapist who helped me through one of the more difficult times in my life. She listened and had great frameworks and ideas for me, and I'm so grateful!
EJ is amazing. When I signed up for BetterHelp, I honest wasn’t expecting to find someone who was very knowledgeable on the specific issues I deal with, but I was very pleasantly surprised when I was matched with EJ. She’s a therapist I would have picked for myself and I will continue to see her. She kind, uplifting, empowering, she advocates for you to love and be kind to yourself, she’s no-nonsense, and she always has something helpful to say. She’s good at helping me figure things out and patient when I need it. Not only does she have extensive knowledge about many issues, but she has deep knowledge and experience working with trauma survivors and trauma related issues. When you’re trying to heal from trauma, therapists who aren’t very knowledgeable about it can actually make things worse, so meeting EJ was a blessing. I really couldn’t ask for a better therapist. She was born to do this and it shows.
I had a hard time engaging in therapy… until I met EJ! She is so present and engaging in our session and outside sessions. Excited to continue this journey with her.
She is a kind and exceptional therapist that checks in with you and makes sure you are good.
