Are you seeking reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, and resolutions for specific problems? It's within your reach. With today's technology, counseling has never been more convenient. You get all the benefits of meeting with a counselor face-to-face without ever leaving your home. I offer HIPAA-compliant and secure video sessions. You don't have to worry about traffic and you can even access counseling while traveling. Video sessions can accommodate couples and families who live in different cities. I work with clients who live throughout Florida.
My approach to counseling is client-centered, based on your individual strengths and needs. I employ elements of several different models and combine them for treatment that will be most effective for you. This includes cognitive, behavioral, and humanistic therapies. My approach is open, honest, nonjudgmental and encouraging.
Who you are and what you believe in is important to me. Your personal experience is vital to me getting to know and understand you and how I can be most helpful. I value and support all races, ethnicities, cultures, sexes, genders, sexualities, religions, personalities, etc. (Phone sessions also available)
