I’m on a mission to enrich the lives of everyone I encounter. I believe in the innate abilities of every person I work with. My approach is direct, non-traumatic and empowering to you. Traditional methods tend to empower the therapist and treat clients like they’re broken and need to be analyzed and fixed. Here, my goal is healing, not a painful cycle of diagnosing and treating symptoms. I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional in Florida, trained and certified in treating trauma and mental health disorders.
My experience is extensive; I’ve worked with clients in crisis care, substance abuse treatment, facilities for severe and persistent mental illnesses, in marriage and family therapy and have facilitated small group sessions. My special training and years of experience allow me to help you achieve the emotional freedom you are looking for. I’m able to maintain a careful balance between rigorous scientific practice and compassionate intuitive care. This is unique in my field, even though it shouldn’t be. Unfortunately many mental health professionals get in the way of their clients’ success by prioritizing methods that are overly analytical and burdened by slow painful progress. I prefer results over diagnosis and relief over coping, so you can return to living a healthy, confident life as quickly as possible.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
