Hello! "Building Resilience Through Empowerment" is the belief that guides me as a licensed therapist. I believe everyone have the ability to overcome any obstacle(s) they are facing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychiatric Nurse and I have over 25 years of experience providing counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families I have over 15 years of nursing experience. I've earned degrees from The University of Central Florida and Valencia College. I work with individuals who have mental health needs on an individualized basis to assist in improving thoughts, moods and daily functioning.
All clinical interventions rendered are individualized/based on each person's needs. I recognize that no one is alike and I always meet people where they're at and I take the journey with them to where they are going. I maintain a safe and warm therapeutic environment that encourages open expression/communication. I meet you where you are and begin building.
If you are seeking an empowering, ambitious and resilient team player, please feel free to join my team. Time to win, and be great in a flexible and non-judgemental environment.
