Biography: Hello! I am a Licensed Psychologist, and I have been working in the field for over 25 years. I can provide individual, family and couple's counseling, and have experience treating a wide range of problems that include: anxiety, addiction, depression, divorce and separation, parenting challenges, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorder, chronic stress, dissociative disorders, attentional problems, grief, and trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder.

Care Philosophy: As a therapist I strongly believe in the power of a relationship based on safety, trust, empathy, and honesty. The client/therapist relationship must be a container in which the client feels safe to explore, question, and reveal him or herself. With a good relationship as the foundation it is then up to the therapist's skills and abilities to guide the patient in the direction they desire to go.

Biography: I am a clinical social worker licensed in Florida with over 35 years of experience working as what I like to call a "clinical changeologist": assisting in a process of change that in many cases becomes life altering. My many years of experience provide a unique and varied approach to the therapy journey. I am committed to and believe that growth is more about the journey rather than some destination. I am quick witted and sincere in my approach with clients and believe my reputation for assisting is well known to my past clients and colleagues. My approach to the therapeutic process is grounded in the awareness that trauma based experiences can dramatically effect the emotional well being of anyone. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues as well as LGBQT issues and concerns. I have a long and extended experience with multi spectrum addictions in both substance use ,as well as other process difficulties found in treating addictive disorders. I am well versed in the recovery process in the 12 step community. Human sexuality and intimacy concerns are also within my area of focus. I am familiar with many methods and techniques in the therapy process considered when initiating any therapy relationship. I have assisted many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse in their lives. I am well experienced with such methods as EMDR in the healing process. I look forward to establishing a working relationship built on trust and a desire for self improvement.

Biography: **If you do not see a session time or date that works with your schedule; feel free to send me a message as I am able to offer time slots other than those posted on my schedule. **Please note that full demographic information has to be provided prior to our first session or we will need to reschedule. You are assured confidentiality but our visits can not be anonymous. I am licensed in Florida with over 30 years of professional work experience and 24 years as a licensed therapist. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, career difficulties, depression, & executive and professional coaching. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes a bit of courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My approach is very supportive and also very direct. The therapeutic alliance is one of the most important aspects of individual counseling. This is "your" session and I am never offended if you want to go in a direction I have not thought of or if you have questions about the overall process. Important note: Please note that therapists on the BetterHelp platform are rated by active clients as well as clients whom therapists have declined due to a plethora of reasons and in my case; scheduling seems to be the main reason I don't accept a particular individual or their mental health needs are such that I know I am not the best match for their needs. These "non-clients" have the same opportunity to rate my work which in my short-time on the platform has been discouraging because my actual client ratings hover in the 4.7-5/5 in all areas. Having people whom I have not had any sessions get equal opportunity to rate my work has drastically skewed the ratings and I think you as a potential or actual client need to know how these ratings are formulated. Thank you and look forward to meeting you.
