About me
I have worked as a therapist for over ten years with children, teens, adults, couples and families and groups. My experience includes crisis intervention, individuals struggling with addiction, trauma survivors, anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, sleep issues, parenting techniques, self esteem and relationship boundaries.
I am licensed in Florida as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and in Ohio as a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I utilize a variety of evidenced based therapies including cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive-behavior, dialectical behavior, client centered, emotionally focused, solution focused and mindfulness. I believe each person has their own story, their own experience and therefore therapy style needs to be geared toward each individuals needs and goals.
Most importantly you must feel comfortable with your therapist to get the most out of the therapeutic relationship. I will be here to assist you in reaching your goals through support, empathy, encouragement, empowerment and education. I look forward to working with you.
