Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
You can expect a lot of questions. I will be curious to get to know you. Feel free to tell me as much or as little as you want. I would also like to know what motivates you to come to therapy and what drives you to improve. We will outline some goals for you to work on, and I will help you with that!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect to take away a lot of good things, such as a plan for what to do next until the next time we talk,
feeling I have heard and seen you. A lot of validation and empathy for your situation, whatever that is,
and some critical thinking questions to help you process and analyze what's going on that will help you grow.

Work HistoryI have held many different jobs in the field, my very first one being an on-call mental health technician at a behavioral hospital in Miami. That was a great 'baptism' into the world of mental health, and I really enjoyed it, even though I did not work there that much. Most of my work experience was with a single agency that specialized in foster care and also preventing children from being removed by their parents. I was at that job for eleven years and it was very significant for me. I learned a lot about every aspect of the field, such as the importance of early attachment to a caregiver, the way that we carry childhood wounds into the present and future, working with couples, and so on. Sometimes we talked about deeper issues and topics and other times more brief solution-focused interventions depending on the situation.
For the last several years I have been in private practice and I absolutely love that. I have been exposed to many different clients and have used different approaches depending on what's going on.
