I am licensed in Florida and Virginia with 8 years of professional work experience. As a therapist, I believe that it is important to understand holism when treating the mind, body and behavior and thus look at things as a whole. My mission is to help my clients discover their own beliefs and how to move towards a healthier and fulfilling life. I strive to formalize various treatment approaches that are geared to fit the client’s individual needs and further help address maladaptive patterns in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

She is supportive but allows me options and choices I can make doesn't necessarily tell me what choice I should make. I went in thinking about making changes and her suggestions were to take some time and try some other options and think it through more. It was good to hear that! I felt validated!
