Gainesville Counseling Advocates

Introduction: I use a combination of therapeutic approaches to meet the personal needs and goals of individuals, couples, and families. Understanding that each client has a unique set of circumstances, her experience can help with a wide variety of complex problems, ranging from marriage or family issues, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, child or adult ADHD, or any other variety of life issues. A client's privacy and confidentiality is a priority, and she is committed to helping each individual reach personal goals and overcome obstacles. Providing tools of recovery that will help with stopping the use of alcohol and/or drugs and learning recovery behaviors is her commitment to her clients. I understand that it is important for clients to recognize personal triggers that jeopardize recovery and prevents success with sobriety. Special focuses within practice include relationships, communication, parenting, anger management, adolescents, and spiritual understanding and growth. I offer day, evening and even weekend sessions. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. Her therapeutic orientations are cognitive-behavioral and solution focused. I earned a Master in Clinical Counseling from Marymount University.
