I am a Licensed Professional Counselor w/Substance Abuse Approval in the state of Florida (https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/), Idaho, Michigan, Texas & Wisconsin. I have been in the field of counseling for over 17 years, working as a licensed mental health and substance abuse psychotherapist. I hold a Master's degree (MS) in Community Psychology, and a Bachelor's degree (BS) in Human Services. I am also certified as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Professional. I work with adults that deal with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. I also specialize in working with people throughout life changes, stress, trauma, grief, LGBTQIA+ issues, gender identity, and anger management issues.

I would call my style of counseling as friendly, compassionate and heartfelt. I believe in treating everyone with the same level of respect and compassion, and I don’t hold any biases to my clients, or their situations. My therapy approach combines a sense of Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Therapy. I can assure you that I will be able to tailor our dialog and treatment plan, to meet your unique and specific needs.

I have a real passion for helping others overcome their personal struggles. I believe that everyone has a destiny and with a little guidance, I can help oversee and support your future endeavors.  My philosophy supports the notion that mental health is the biggest investment a person can make for themselves. As people, we need to be able to recognize the things you can control, and the things you can’t control. I believe if you always maintain a purposeful and positive mindset, no one can stop your journey to happiness, and overall significant wellness. I like to treat my clients, and allow them to actively engage, invest and take priority in their lives, just as much as I will. As your counselor, I will do my best to help you find your inner best.

I look forward to meeting and working with you.
