Does your child need extra support dealing with life’s challenges? I have dedicated my career to helping children and teens by providing explicit social skill instruction, offering support navigating social relationships, developing responsible decision-making skills, and gaining confidence in themselves. I have experience working with conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, behavioral concerns, trauma, and more.

My primary goal is to help people better understand what is happening in their lives, the role we each play in problems and how to make small, but powerful changes to improve interactions.

Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm happy that you are looking into counseling. I believe that I can help you. I have nearly 30 years of counseling experience working with various populations. My specific treatment areas include treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, anger control problems and impulse control disorders. I became interested in therapy after I took my first Psychology class in college. It is fascinating to me trying to understand human thinking, feeling, and behavior, alone and with others.

Healing is a relational process in which therapist and client begin a journey of discovering the self through the therapist's creation of a place the client feels felt, seen, safe, understood, soothed, and secure. A womb is created in the room of therapy. This is a recreation of the mother-infant bonding and positive attachment that was lacking or inadequate. In this client-therapist relationship, healing is achieved through playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy.

It is my belief that everyone can and should benefit from therapy; whether suffering from severe mental illness or simply looking for a road map. Truly knowing oneself is an integral part of the lifelong journey toward self actualization. Unfortunately, stigma discourages many from taking advantage of our profession.

I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

I have extensive skills with adolescents/adults/families yet conceptualize my role as guiding others to vibrantly re-illuminate their lives. My passion for psychotherapy stems from my appreciation for communication as a healing agent, intensified by my MSc. in Speech Pathology from McGill University. When challenged by traumatic medical events, I was struck by patients’ capacity to recover cognitive-linguistic functioning as well as purpose/identity. At Nova Southeastern University, I cultivated expertise in individual, family, and group counseling with sensitivity to language differences/disorders and/or multiple disabilities.

I am a Florida licensed school psychologist with over 10 years of hands-on experience performing diagnostic educational assessments and my goal is to help identify and understand your child’s strengths and challenges, and to help you advocate for your child. In my work, I’ve encountered so many children just like yours, who, without a deep and thorough assessment of abilities, would have floundered in their education. Because of my experience working in schools, I’ve seen in so many parents an urgency to know what is going on. While the school district will have an approach, I can help you navigate this efficiently.
