I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and work with couples and individuals on improving their relationships and quality of life, and therapists on managing a number of experiences that come up through their work. I offer free, 15 minute phone consultations. Starting September 1, 2023 I will be accepting insurance. Currently I accept out-of-network insurance benefits that will support the cost of services. We can verify these benefits prior to the start of services, as many clients have out-of-network benefits and are not aware of it. Thrizer is my payment platform that verifies your insurance benefits and automatically processes claims for you so you can get the most of the session cost reimbursed quickly and for free.

Throughout my career, I've worked in diverse settings, including correctional facilities, crisis units, substance abuse centers, memory care, and hospitals.

I firmly believe that a patient who is happy with their medication regimen will have the best outcomes in the future. It is important to think outside of the box and look at the patient as a whole, from a holistic perspective. Humor and warmth also goes a long way!
