My therapist, Dawn, is helping me put some recent trauma into context, and teaching me the difference between a snake and a rope. This opportunity came at a crucial time and I am grateful for the support.

I am a Licensed Mental Health in the State of Florida. I have been working as a counselor since 1994. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and have helped my clients navigate the "rough waters" that they must travel through. I have worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, adolescent issues, and complex mental health issues. Growing up in a military family, I also have a fondness and appreciation for our military families and the unique challenges they face.
I recognize that each client has unique strengths and we will utilize these strengths to build a "boat" that can withstand those "rough waters" of life. I can bring my 20 years of experience as a counselor and as a team, we can take the skills we both have to make meaningful and lasting change. I believe in finding the right skill for each person.
Each individual is unique and I believe that by working together, we can develop a plan and implement that plan to find a place of peace. By working together, we can find the best tools to strengthen your "boat" and get through these "rough waters" of 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.
