I am a Florida-Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. I am committed to engaging with you by respecting and cherishing diversity, building trust, providing active and empathic listening, and by providing supportive direction in the service of your goals, objectives and ultimate well-being. I look forward to having the privilege of connecting with you.

I strive to go well beyond mere symptom reduction and coping mechanisms. I am committed to helping people develop and mature toward healing and wholeness by giving careful attention to each person’s past and present relationships, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, values and goals, all from an empathic, strengths-based perspective. I believe that a different therapeutic approach must be constructed for each client, because each of us has a unique story.

Counseling and psychotherapy need not be intimidating. When you are already struggling with emotional difficulties, the last thing that you need is psychobabble and jargon. My specialty is taking complex emotional and psychological issues and breaking them down into plain language and workable objectives. You may expect to generate insight and find your direction in an atmosphere of unqualified positive regard and deep empathy. Let's explore how I can help you reach your goals.
