Description of self/services for directory:
I care deeply about my work as a counselor and highly value the families, adolescents, children, and couples I have the privilege to work with. I truly feel called to this work and strive to help every client I see to figure out their best path. Whatever your age, circumstance, background, or struggle, I want you to feel welcomed and at home in your session. It is my ultimate goal to help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself and live a happy and healthy life.
In each session, I will assist you in processing your struggles and celebrating your successes through a client-centered approach and will also provide education and resources as necessary for you to meet your therapeutic goals. I use humor and spiritual guidance when appropriate to build a genuine and lasting client-counselor relationship to provide a comfortable and safe environment in each session.
I have a great deal of experience in working with youth and families, especially in high crisis and high conflict situations. I believe the health of each individual is improved when the health of the family is improved and give every effort to help make this happen. I am passionate about working with couples to prepare for marriage, restore a broken relationship, or to manage conflict and improve the quality of their relationship or marriage. I am certified as a PREPARE-ENRICH facilitator and use experiential activities with couples to assist them in learning vital skills to improve the health of their relationship and grow closer.
I offer a judgment-free zone and a very comfortable, laid-back environment in my sessions. I believe it is extremely important for everyone involved to approach the counseling experience with a genuine spirit and willingness to work and I promise you that as your counselor.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Connecticut and am certified to practice in Florida. At this time I offer Telehealth services only and do not currently see clients in person.
I specialize in treating anxiety and anxiety related disorders, relationship issues, abuse recovery, religious trauma, and major life transitions throughout the lifespan.
I take a multimodal approach to treatment in order to best fit each individual client’s situation and needs. I primarily utilize strategies of Insight oriented therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), as well as integrating aspects of psychodynamic, emotionally focussed (EFT), and Narrative Therapy.
I believe principles of diversity, inclusion and cultural understanding are close to God’s heart and therefore should be seen as essential priorities of the church.
For as long as I can remember my faith has been a central part of my life and identity. I have experienced many sides of what it means to be a part of the church and I believe God's heart for people is to bring healing, redemption and restoration. This is the foundation of my passion for helping and encouraging clients in their journey to healing.
1 John 4:19, “We Love because He first loved us.”
While I consider my faith in Christ to be pivotal to who I am and how I care for my clients, I also recognize that faith, religion and the church can be a significant source of trauma and pain. It is for this reason I believe so strongly in the importance and power of professional Christian counseling. This is not a place for deepening wounds but for finding healing. Whether you come from a Christian background and are now questioning what you believe or are living out of your faith as the foundation of your life and worldview, I would love the opportunity to walk through that journey with you!
