Then learn and put into practice new behavioral changes geared towards building healthier relationship dynamics, copings skills and an overall better quality of life.
My Background and Approach
I earned my Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with specializations in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Florida and territory of Guam, a board certified Telemental Health Provider and a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional. I am also a Qualified Clinical Supervisor which allows me to provide supervision to registered interns for Mental Health Counseling within the state of Florida. I have 12 years of professional experience as a therapist. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse and international population. This has led me to develop a more Eclectic Therapeutic style which is a more individualized approach. I carefully create treatment plan for each person and /or couple based on their unique needs. I use techniques from CBT, Mindfulness, Gottman Methods, Trauma-Informed Care, Strength-Based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in our ability to break generational traumas, to heal from wounds inflicted by those who didn’t know how or didn’t have the capacity to show up for us; and to learn how to show up for ourselves. Throughout the years I’ve worked with individuals who struggled with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and provided counseling services to military services member and their families while deployed overseas. I witnessed the significant impact that relationships can have on your overall wellbeing. From my own personal experience; as I worked to unlearn what was no longer serving me and to rediscover my worth, I was presented with how fundamentally transformative this process can be. It’s led me to learn how to live with greater peace, to create and sustain connections and to feel safe and secure in love. It’s not an easy process nor is it a painless journey but it’s worth it.
