Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida

About My Clients

I work best with individuals, families, and couples dealing with mood disorders (depressive disorders, bipolar disorders), anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, specific phobias) and trauma-related disorders (PTSD, C-PTSD). Addiction does not discriminate and most of the clients I have treated have had co-occuring (substance use disorders + mental health disorders). I am passionate about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder treatment/management.

My Background and Approach

My approach is eclectic, blending Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) with other evidence-based therapies and experiential modalities such as Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy(MBCT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). I’ve also completed basic Accelerated resolution therapy (ART) training which addresses distressing memories, sensations, and images are related to PTSD or other disturbing/distress events.

My clinical interests are a product of my experiences and clinical training within the diverse community that makes up south Florida. I connect those who feel they do not belong, to a solution that helps them heal. I want people to use evidence and science to understand themselves and their challenges. I work best with individuals, families, and couples dealing with mood disorders (depressive disorders, bipolar disorders), anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, specific phobias) and trauma-related disorders (PTSD, C-PTSD).
