“For 20+ years I have worked with a variety of clients in Tampa Bay. I specialize in glbt issues, relationships, couples therapy, adolescents, family therapy, and abuse issues. I have a supportive, growth oriented view on counseling and utilize an eclectic and cognitive behavioral approach. I recommend helpful books for those who like to read and work on journaling for those who like to write. I enjoy working with motivated clients to help them reclaim their power and maximize their happiness.
I enjoy working with families, couples and teenagers. Generally when people come to therapy they are in a crisis and we work together to help individuals get immediate relief and then approach long-standing issues that may hinder a person's happiness.
I am involved with several volunteer organizations that help mediate trauma due to natural and human created disaster. I have worked on hurricaine recovery, fire and terrorist related disasters. I have had training to help people with intense trauma and prepare for disaster situations.”
