I currently work in the state of Florida and I have 7 years of experience in areas such as: case management, psychotherapy, trauma and abuse, mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, families, and couples who have struggled with various life changes and adjustment periods, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, trauma, abuse, and self-esteem issues.
My therapeutic counseling style is client focused. I like to ensure that all sessions and interactions are positive and collaborative, working towards achieving my clients desired goals. I treat all clients with dignity, respect, kindness, and openness to avoid any judgments and/or biases. I utilize Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy
I hope you will allow me to work with you in future counseling sessions and allow me to help you identify and overcome your stressors and challenges.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
