- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, and I am certified in addictions counseling. I have been providing care in the behavioral health field for 20+ years. I received my degree from the University of West Florida's School of Social Work, where I graduated from the Advanced Standing Program. I have experience working with adults with behavioral health challenges and those who are working through issues with addiction. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma.
My experience includes outpatient mental health services, inpatient/residential substance abuse services, and telehealth. I meet clients where they are and am a strong supporter of Strength's-Based Perspective. I offer Solution-Focused Therapy, utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can help with issues with addiction. I have worked in community mental health, private practice and inpatient substance use/misuse facilities.
I strive to provide a positive and safe therapeutic environment where you can feel comfortable collaborating in order to reframe thoughts and beliefs to reach your goals. I am a supportive, honest, nonjudgmental, and direct person with excellent listening skills. Together, we will work interactively to meet specific and unique needs. It takes courage to make that first step towards healing, and I am ready to walk the journey with you. I welcome you to contact me if you believe we would be a good fit. Let's get started working towards a better life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
