I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over fifteen years of experience. I have worked with a variety of clients, as individuals or couples, who have experienced a range of mental health issues. For many individuals, identity and attachment has been a troubling factor, everyone wants a sense of acceptance, significance, and security. Additionally, I spent two years in west Africa (2017-2019) working with trauma related issues. My counseling style is geared toward welcoming clients to feel at ease and comfortable in the therapy process. I utilize clinical research on the Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional-Focused Therapy (EMT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and the use of an “Empirical-Faith-based” Client-Centered Therapy process. Currently, I am working on an “Attachment and Trauma base” certification. My approach to counseling is holistic meaning, I look at the human condition as a bio-psycho-spiritual composite. All three elements impact our daily lives. My goal is to help you become all you were meant to be. To “fully know yourself” and enjoy the life God wants for you. I look forward in helping you take this journey of healing. Specialties Relational Issues, Grief and Loss, Family Conflict, Anger Management, Stress and Anxiety Also experienced working in: Trauma Issues, Depression, Guilt and Shame, Low Self-Esteem, Coping with Life Changes, Emptiness, Communication Problems, Forgiveness, Parenting Issues. Clinical approaches: Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, “Empirical-Faith-based” Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Details: My practice hours begin Monday at noon (12pm EST). Regular hours start at 10 am EST Tuesday-Friday, and varies to provide multiple time zones and work schedules. Since I do provide global therapy to English speaking people, time zones can become an issue, so if needed, I will personally arrange Wednesday-Th-Friday early hours before 10am or a late Tuesday evening (USA; EST) solely reserved for those regions in and around times zones like Australia. I lovely do try to care for the needs of other, if I am able without bringing a burden on myself and my family. Additionally, I reserve my weekends to bring me refreshment and rest, or serve in my community in my efforts to meet the continuing needs of others. Thank you for honoring this for me and everyone involved. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more!
