Are YOU ready for a Fresh Start? I provide individually modified wrap-around therapeutic services to clients of all ages wherever there is need, locally, nationally, and internationally. My practice has a focus in behavioral modification and social-skill acquisition. I use both traditional psychotherapy and cutting edge alternative therapies to include a "hands-on" approach when therapeutically indicated, in experiential settings such as horse stables for Equine therapy, the beach, parks, trails, and other natural environments such as: the home, schools, camps, etc. In addition, I provide second opinions for outside consultation and treatment coordination for hard to treat behavioral concerns.

Hello and Welcome! I have seven years of experience in the mental health field in the state of FL. While, I have worked with clients of all ages, my primary work is with adults, especially from the 20s - 40s age range. My specialty is working with individuals who specifically struggle with general anxiety, social anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, life transitions and other everyday issues. I have training in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and solution focused approaches. I understand that each person has their own unique situations, so I value giving each person individual plans of action to address their issues.

Their needs are to be able to identify their issues and then be able to break away from that issues by overcoming them bit by bit. The reason why they would want this is to have the feeling of liberation from mental and emotional stress.

Do you ever find yourself questioning if this is all there is? Day after day, you wake up feeling disconnected and lacking motivation. It's as if you're just going through the motions without any real purpose. You worry that you're stuck in a never-ending cycle, draining your energy and leaving you unfulfilled. Your mind is constantly racing and you constantly doubt yourself. But deep down, you know that you deserve more for your life, your relationships, and your family. And you realize that it's time for a change.

Asking for help can be a very difficult thing to do. Many people think going to a counselor means that they're admitting that they can't handle their lives or that they've totally lost control. In fact, talking to a therapist means that you are taking your happiness into your own hands. Have feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt or fear been getting in the way of your happiness? There may have been a family, health or financial situation that led you to the place you're at right now or maybe you are just looking for more.

I take a collaborative approach to treatment utilizing various interventions (including, but not limited to, cognitive and behavioral interventions).
