As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am licensed in the State of Florida to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions. Helping people make positive changes toward wellness is my goal.  This could be in the form of providing therapy, teaching a workshop, or training your group of 10-30 people in                                           

I'm particularly passionate about Mental Health First Aid not only as a professional reducing the stigma of mental health issues and teaching how to notice, what to say and what to do to support someone who's perhaps experienced something traumatic.  But also from a personal point of view, as a family member years ago not knowing that someone dear to me was experiencing the onset of schizophrenia while at college.  I wish I, and everyone around this dear person, had been able to recognize the symptoms, had known what to say and do to be supportive, rather than floundering and wondering.  I often share this experience when I teach Mental Health First Aid, of course with permission from this person who is dear to me.  I also share how recovery is possible - I've seen him receiving treatment, working and enjoying life with alot of family support.
