FAQs
Who do you work with?
Millennials are my thing! I help work through low self-esteem, stress & anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitional issues, and identity development. Helping you rediscover the most daring question, "Who am I?" and build healthy relationships.
Emerging Adults (18-25) & Young Adults (18-35) who reside in the state of Florida and in The Bahamas.
I have a sweet spot for helping young adults feel confident in themselves and explore how to create trusting relationships with others.
How long are the sessions?
As we enter into our therapeutic work together, we typically meet for 45-50 minutes per session. I suggest beginning with consistency, with weekly sessions, until therapeutic goals are met.
Some clients attend for six to nine months, while others enjoy going to therapy for years. You’ll want to keep up your motivation as you develop an open mind, positive perspective, and healthy coping skills. Your old habits and behaviors will gradually and organically develop into positive habits. During this process, new neural pathways in your brain will form.
What are the benefits of your services?
Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and coping strategies for a wide range of issues. Therapists, being objective, can provide a different or a fresh perspective on a problem that you have been struggling with.

Do you provide in-person or online counseling?
Yes! Counseling sessions are conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform.
What does the first session look like?
The first session will be an initial assessment to discuss the client’s history and needs for treatment. During this first session the client will have the opportunity to see how therapy will work, review office policies, privacy and confidentiality, as well as determine whether or not they are comfortable with the therapist.
What types of therapy do you use?
While I utilize Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) mainly, I incorporate Brainspotting, Person-Centered, Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Strength-based, Trauma Focused, and Compassion Focused therapy models, just to name a few.
