About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 23 years of experience working with children, single parents, families, veterans, and the homeless. I have helped clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, PTSD, substance abuse, OCD and ADHD. I also counseled many people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse.



My counseling style is companionate and kind with direction. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and empathy, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, emotional, humanistic, holistic, and solution focused therapies. In other words, psychotherapy approach consists of compassion and empathy with my clients’ suffering, and by promoting change through action helps my clients feel safe, understood and relieves symptoms.



I will adapt our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek help to fulfill a happier and productive life by taking steps towards change. If you are ready to take that first step, contact me and I am here to guide, support and empower you.



I look forward to working with you!

Frederick has the life experience and professional expertise necessary to support not only the recovery from difficult life challenges, but to also inspire and support growth and development beyond. He will give as much as you give which means there is no limit to his support to develop yourself into the person you wish to be. We are all in a constant state of becoming and Frederick is adept at supporting development into a healthier version of yourself. You have to do the work, but he’s an awesome coach.

I would like to thank you for our sessions together. I am thankful that you taught me how much my procrastination is linked with my anxiety and stories that I tell myself that are from past experiences. I will not forget what we talked about. You are a -wonderful- therapist!

Fred is outstanding! I’ve made more progress in the short time I’ve met with him than any counselor in the past. Fred understands my frustrations, but doesn’t let me throw a potty party. It’s all about moving forward with my life and being the best that I can be!
