Therapy Session in Georgia

Hello and welcome to your journey to healing! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I began working in the counseling field in 2016, working with children, adolescents, and adults. My experience working with at-risk students in my previous career as an elementary school educator helped me develop a deep desire to help children and families thrive. My approach to counseling is simple. I will work to help you achieve healing and growth and help you nurture a healthy mind. I believe improving our mental health helps us to create a healthy environment and leads to strong family systems and vibrant communities.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a specialization in working with children and their families. With over 20 years of experience, I am passionate about helping young individuals navigate the challenges of growing up, including emotional struggles, behavioral concerns, trauma, and developmental issues. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel heard, understood, and empowered to express themselves. I utilize a combination of play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and family therapy techniques to address the unique needs of each child. My goal is to work collaboratively with both the child and their family to build positive coping strategies, enhance emotional resilience, and strengthen communication within the home. I also offer support for parents, providing them with practical tools and strategies to nurture their child's emotional well being and foster a healthy, open relationship. Whether dealing with panic attacks, anxiety, grief, ADHD or trauma, I am here to help your child build the skills they need to thrive in everyday life.

I offer empathetic support to children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger management, PTSD, and school-related or social concerns. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that every client feels heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, progressive changes. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental and safe space where clients can explore their emotions, develop and strengthen adaptive coping strategies, improve daily functioning, build resilience, and foster overall personal growth.
