Creating an environment filled with empathy, collaboration, unconditional positive regard and communication are vital to success in therapy. As a licensed therapist in the state of Florida, I take pride in my work with clients and building strong therapeutic relationships that allow for us to grow together towards reaching stated goals. Building a foundational level of trust during our early work together is of paramount importance and allows for a solid structure to be built off of.
I operate from a strengths based approach and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy amongst other evidence based practices. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, coping with life changes and individuals with relationship issues.
I believe each person has their own unique story and I look forward to hearing yours and working together!

Matthew is hands down the best therapist I have worked with. He gives insight but also let’s me work things out within myself during our sessions. He always has a response that is thought out and is detailed to my situation. Matthew is great

He’s awesome! What is nice is even shocking details, he will not waver on being compassion and mythological on how to help me cope.

Only have had a couple of sessions with Matthew but he’s been awesome so far. Really listens and seems to genuinely care about who he’s talking with. Was skeptical about online therapy but he’s made me feel more comfortable than any in person therapist has made me feel.
