I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 18 years, but I began my career as a Social Worker in Ohio. Due to experiencing personal issues in my own life, I sought out therapy. It changed me in a positive way, so I decided to become a social worker and therapist myself. Through Therapy and education, I learned the skills and techniques to successfully maneuver the trials and tribulations of my life. My hope and aim are to now provide my clients with the same information, tools and techniques they can use for the rest of their lives. To help others reprogram those negative scripts in their heads to more positive and healthy thoughts. I will help you reprogram your Bio computer- your brain.

Great communicator. Ever start/schedule therapy and not show up? Ever notice a week, month, or even longer passes and you try all over again? Well, I researched, scheduled, and made notes for my first therapy session. Then “the blues” hit and I flaked. Kitty not only reached out afterwards, but in a way (I’m sure she’s very intuitive and handles each client uniquely) that let me know everything was great on her end and to just drop a line so we can chat as soon as I was available. May seem silly, but missed appointments/setbacks absolutely torture me so badly that I commonly disengage because of embarrassment/guilt/shame. Not this time. Because of her, I reached out as she requested/offered and I’m back on track. Great person. Amazing professional!
