I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Therapy is by far my greatest passion. I help my clients overcome issues keeping them caught in unhealthy and destructive patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I am eager to help you and feel honored to assist in this journey. There are good therapist and then there are transforming therapist. Learning About Me was the toughest yet rewarding work. I can go as deep as my clients want to go. I am not the type of therapist interested in treating and relieving symptoms. The symptoms are just indicators of the deeper issue. Fear and Ego. I won’t waste your time or mine with worksheets and homework assignments. It’s all or nothing. If you want to be transformed and your life changed forever then strap on and let’s do it.

GroundWork Counseling is made up of a dedicated group of counselors and is owned and opperated by a mother daughter counseling team. Groundwork offers a unique and specialized approach to counseling for children, individuals, families, and couples. Counseling should be as unique as you are.

When you call Groundwork Counseling, you will talk directly with a therapist to set up your appointment, so that you can feel the most comfortable and we can match you with the best possible therapist to help support you and your unique needs.
