- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.

- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.

Therapy Sessions
- Available In-Person in Miami Lakes, FL 33014 and Miami Springs, FL 33166
- Available Online for residents of Florida
- Online Therapy Details: Online sessions are effective. They offer a great alternative to clients who, due to scheduling or distance, are unable to meet face-to-face. I use Zoom regularly to work with clients. Sessions are scheduled weekly, each lasting 55 minutes. Contact me for further information.
I utilize a client-centered approach. I frame all sessions to be safe, open, and non-judgmental growth experiences. An eclectic approach to counseling examines how thoughts are grounded in feelings and how actions reflect and embody these thoughts. Exploring past experiences with psychodynamic tools provides a more thorough appreciation of how our past impacts our present & future.
