I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 10 years of professional work experience. I am also a board certified behavior analyst and specialize in maladaptive behaviors. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, relationships & parenting issues. I have 24 years experience with military life, and understand the struggles with deployments, change in family dynamics, and transitions in roles. My therapeutic style is more solution-focused. I also love setting goals and expectations. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
