I am licensed in Florida and Georgia with 25 years of professional experience working with individuals and couples. Most of my experience is in helping clients with relationship issues--challenging the status quo, making connections, and in some cases separating or divorcing. Some of my former clients tell me they like my directness as we work together. If you have not explored your individual issues, I can help with those too. I am not a good fit for clients with addiction, domestic violence or faith-based issues. I prefer to work with clients who are ready to move beyond the "stable" ambiquity that characterizes their current lives--stuck in what is instead of moving to what feels more satisfying. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I applaud you for getting started!
