What should a new client know about working with you?
As a Florida Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, I use an eclectic approach to therapy that employs a variety of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. It is amazing how sometimes we get stuck in feelings and experiences of the past that negatively haunt and influence our decisions and actions of today! My mission is to help you discover, learn, and implement ways to navigate and overcome the negative feelings and limitations that hinder you from accomplishing your goals and aspirations. It's time to live empowered and to display the best version of yourself in your daily life! If you’re ready to take back control of your life, I'm ready to help.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
