Twenty-three years of practicing psychotherapy with individuals, couples, adolescents, and marriage and family has afforded me a broad knowledge base and understanding of human behavior and the underlying motivations of stress related outcomes. Often individuals are reluctant to seek therapy, given the unknowns, and will often allow themselves to continue to struggle with their problems alone. I am a practitioner that works primarily with cognitive behavorial techniques to allow indivduals to map their thoughts and begin to have a greater understanding of how they are able to empower themselves and overcome trauma, depression, and anxiety. I practice EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Rehabilitation), I am a Chapter 491 Florida Supervisor for Mental Health Counselor Interns and Marriage and Family Therapist Interns. I am a retired 35 year instructor of Psychology and Human Growth and Development for Central Florida Community College (Central Florida College). My personal mission for my practice is to enhance the lives of clients, increase human potential, and foster healing strategies for a continued good quality of life.
