• Florida, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MT3480

My education and history working in the mental health community is extensive. I received my masters degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Miami and continued on to my doctorate in counselor education from the University of New Mexico. I am licensed in Florida as a marriage and family therapist. My experience ranges from experience in outpatient addiction centers running groups with adolescents and adults to working for community counseling organizations placed in schools or supporting families through their involvement with the Department of Children and Families. I support families through all struggles of life. Currently my practice focuses on supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the relational element of life - whether it be the relationship you have with yourself, your partner, or family. My specialties are two fold: couples counseling and parenting. When it comes to my work with couples, I am trained in The Gottman Method, the most effective form of couples counseling to date. When a couple is ready to do the work, the outcomes are rewarding both personally and within the relationship. When it comes to working with parents, I support those navigating stress related to school based behaviors and struggles. Often, parents are unsure of how to navigate the school setting, especially when their child struggles with a learning disability, ADHD, or ASD. My research focuses on supporting children and families through such transitions so children can achieve academically and thrive socially. In addition to practicing, I am also an Associate Professor. Through my work as a professor, I stay up to date on best practices in the counseling field and implement evidence based practices into my work. Therapy is not meant to last forever, and I am here to help you reach your goals in an effective and efficient manner.
