I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in sunny south Florida, and I am delighted to be considered as the therapist to guide you towards meeting your therapeutic goals. I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations as a counselor in the public school system. I have worked with adolescents, young adults and their families using a strength-based approach to achieve positive change in various areas of life. I have worked with people through concerns such as Anxiety and Depression, Anger Management, Communication Skills, Stress Management, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Peer-Pressure, Crisis Intervention, Self-Esteem Issues and much more. I am experienced in counseling couples through relationship Issues and parenting challenges. In addition, I have helped those who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy modalities include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I have been trained in other approaches as well and can use the best approach to meet your needs. We will work together to create a treatment plan specific to your unique goals.
My counseling style is warm, open, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am effective with people of various cultures and backgrounds, and I will provide a non-judgmental “safe place” where healing and change can occur.
I am excited at the possibility of supporting you as you move toward a transformation that can lead to a happier, more fulfilled life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
