My name's Keith and I am a mental health counselor (LMHC) licensed in the state of Florida with 4 years of clinical experience.
Throughout my career, I have worked with clients dealing with a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, panic, stress, overwhelm, grief, anger, addiction, chronic illness, relationship issues, trauma, and identity topics related to gender, race, sexual orientation, and minority stress. I have worked in community clinics, psychosocial rehabilitation centers, residential housing programs, federally-funded HIV/AIDS services, outpatient offices, and virtual telehealth therapy settings.
My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with subset approaches of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). My intention as a therapist is to offer my clients a safe, trauma-informed, multiculturally-aware space for expressing themselves, challenging themselves, healing wounds, and growing. I have been described as warm, non-judgmental, and caring in the work I do. I love supporting my clients as they learn about themselves and implement new strategies for better managing stressful situations, negative thoughts, uncomfortable emotions, and relationship issues.
I believe that you are the master of your own life, and as your therapist it is my duty to assume the role of a companion and support in the therapeutic relationship. While I cannot claim to know what's best for you or solve all of your problems, I can offer my clinical expertise to support and challenge you to access inner wisdom that I know you hold. I aim to work together with my clients to help them learn new skills, maximize strengths, gain awareness, identify areas for improvement, and work towards feeling better about themselves, their relationships, and their lives.
