Welcome to a refreshing way to do counseling, where the focus is on solutions!

I have been collaborating with clients for over 28 years, assisting them in understanding their thoughts, moods, and behaviors. The primary goal is simple, to get you from where you are to where you want to be. You do not have to experience a life changing event or trauma to benefit from counseling. Sometimes we just get stuck! Working with an experienced professional allows you to resolve past or current problems and improve your ability to move forward. We will work together to use your existing problem solving skills more effectively, or help you develop new ways to cope with life’s challenges.

Did you know, Pre-Counseling Research shows therapeutic changes occur the minute you email, text or pick up the phone to call and schedule your first appointment? So, lets get started on getting you where you want to be!

2023 UPDATE…Telehealth Services are HERE TO STAY!

In light of COVID-19, client safety was of the upmost importance. For this reason and the mandated regulations at the time, I pivoted over to offering Telehealth services in March of 2020.
 I continue to randomly take surveys from my clients regarding their thoughts on Telehealth and how it is working for them. For the last 3 years, the majority vote is to continue to have Telehealth offered as an ongoing and permanent choice.
 
 Client reports share the Telehealth experience has actually inspired a continuous refuge, spirit of calm and connectedness during the past few years of anxiety and isolation. 
 
Here are many other reported benefits my clients have shared about their Telehealth experience:
 
COST EFFECTIVE: As Telehealth is now widely recognized and covered by most insurers.
CONVENIENCE and COMFORT of being in their own home or setting of their choice.
PEACE OF MIND AND SAFETY of not contracting Covid19 in the therapy office.
For those anxious about video sessions or those who do not have access to a good internet connection, it is comforting to know they can use CHAT, EMAIL OR PHONE CALLS for their sessions. 
The ability to have SECURE ACCESS to a session from anywhere in the world, such as being on vacation or on work travel. (Services are only offered to FLORIDA RESIDENTS).
ACCESS for Disabled clients or clients with chronic illness or recent surgery. CONVENIENT access for CARETAKERS unable to leave the house.
PAPERLESS options are more convenient and better for the environment. REDUCES STRESS over sitting in a crowding waiting room.
PRIVACY of not having to walk into a therapy office where others they know may see them. 
LESS ANXIETY over finding parking or driving in bad traffic or weather, by not having to drive to the office.
COLLEGE STUDENTS have access now, rather than waiting for a break to come home.
CHILDCARE is not as hard to arrange-especially if already working from home- and home-schooling children.
EASY ACCESS in sharing other materials and documents together in the session. 
COMMUNICATION EFFICENCY with the counselor, as the ability to respond more often by email and texts is more widely accepted. 
MORE COUNSELOR and APPOINTMENT AVAILABILITY as it is easier to schedule missed appts within minutes.
 
 
2023 Update: As of September 2021, certain BCBS policies are no longer covering Telehealth. Please call the member number on the back of your card to verify your Telehealth coverage prior to calling for an appt. Self-Paying client discounts available.
