I am licensed in Florida with 25 years of professional work experience.
I have worked for 7 years at a residential substance abuse treatment facility, treating substance abuse, bipolar, depression, anxiety, anger management and resentment issues to list a few. I prefer to work with clients age 18 to 98 where I have the most experience.
I have also worked for a major medical insurance provider's "Special Needs Program" for clients who have Medicare and Medicaid develop coping skills to improve their quality of life. I have also worked as a crisis counselor for Military One Source for 3 years, helping clients work through stressful issues in their lives. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
