Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida with 17 years experience helping clients heal and make changes in their lives for the better. I have experience with all kinds of clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief/loss, career challenges, abuse and trauma. My training in family systems helps me understand your concerns from not only an individual perspective but in the context of your family, your community and the wider world. My approach combines client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, brief therapy and narrative modalities as needed for each client's best outcome. I respect and enjoy learning from all cultures. I honor your unique story and feel privileged to share your journey to hope, optimism and empowerment for your life. Making a choice to seek therapy is a brave choice! It can be scary to communicate one's deepest thoughts and feelings to a stranger. I offer a calm, safe, nonjudgemental space to carefully explore your situation. I see myself as a catalyst for your self-actualization. As we examine the pain that brings you to therapy and work through the challenges you are facing, you can move to a more peaceful, contented and beautiful life. I look forward to meeting you!

My ideal client might be any individual in need of assistance to help themselves feel better, more capable-confident and able to resolve whatever 'problems in living' have interrupted their lives. There are times we may need the support of another caring person, perhaps not directly involved with our lives, to listen, reflect, help us consider alternative approaches. This perspective remains central to my intervention techniques, delivered with sensitivity to individual needs. My specialty is born of the blending of two bodies of knowledge, one focused on interpreting everything as behavior through the lens of learning theory and the other chemical dependency/abuse of substances (CAP). The intersection of these areas can be fruitful, giving rise to creative counseling applications & excellent outcomes. In addition, my practice evolved to include knowledge gained from groups, Anger Management, Batterers' Intervention Program, and Substance Abuse. As a seasoned professional counselor I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, typically full-time employment supplemented by a private practice. Having been employed by an Area Agency on Aging in PA, since relocating to the State of Florida my most recent experience was with the Department of Juvenile Justice. Private practice has ranged from court-ordered (Anger Management, Batterers' Intervention Program, Substance Abuse) to EAP to self-referrals. It would be my distinct pleasure to assist you in addressing & resolving any identified issues contrributing to disturbance of your emotional balance. Please contact me at your earliest convenience; I look forward to meeting and working with you!
