"We loved working with Josh. We both felt heard and cared for. He helped us resolve issues between us that were pushing us apart for awhile. He helped us slow down, become mindful, and listen and support each other. We were able to connect again in a deeper way and know how to approach arguments that will strengthen our relationship, not break it." -Past Couple 

"As a colleague and therapist, I have a deep respect for Josh and his clinical practice. He is genuine, kind, passionate, knowledgeable, and unafraid to dive right in to complex issues with his clients. Working alongside him , I deeply admired how he wove a multitude of science backed skills with the art of human connection. With his clients he was incredibly empathic, funny, and knew how to foster a genuine connection, while being direct and collaborative in targeting their struggles. I refer clients to him regularly and know that they are in good hands when I send them his way" -Colleague

"I am really grateful for my experience working with Josh. It is difficult to put into words how pivotal Josh has been to my current state of wellbeing. Prior to working together, I was desperate, but I was skeptical whether I would be able to get the help I needed since I had not had much luck with other therapies in the past. 

Josh and I started working together when I was going through a bad break up and he diligently helped me work through it until I came out the other side. He took the time to get to know me and my situation, as well as the intricacies of my life that make up who I am. Josh also helped me work through past challenges that were still impacting me in the present day, which was a huge relief after carrying that weight for years. 

Josh took the time to explain therapeutic concepts in a way that resonated with me and made sense for my life. He helped me think through potential scenarios of how I could use the skills I was developing so that I could apply them in real life. His patience, attentiveness, flexibility, understanding, and reassurance helped me develop and strengthen the skills I needed in order to feel a sense of confidence and agency in my life. I recommend Josh and his care to anyone who may need it." -Past Client 

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. Guiding individuals through their mental health journeys towards self-discovery and helping people connect with themselves and their loved one’s is my passion. With a diverse background in various therapeutic modalities, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice.

A significant portion of my career has been dedicated to working in residential settings, where I've focused on helping teenagers and their families struggling with substance abuse. This is where I fell in love with working with family systems and learned that we are all connected and influence each other. When one person in a family or couple is hurting, it impacts the whole family. I was honored to help empower adolescents and their families to overcome addiction and regain control over their lives. This is where I dived into becoming trained to work with family systems, couples, and complex trauma. 

In addition to my work with teens, I've also helped adults grappling with eating disorders, negative body image, and general mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. Through these experiences, I became aware that we have systems within ourselves. Each of us have parts of ourselves that help us move closer to what we want or protect us. I learned that these parts of us have wisdom and a function. These lessons have shaped how I work as a therapist and help me remain non-judgemental. 

My professional journey also includes working in an adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group practice specializing in emotionally sensitive people. Here, I gained invaluable experience in thinking dialectically. My proficiency in DBT equips me to guide clients in cultivating mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Not only did I work with individuals, I continued to refine my skills as a couples and family therapist. I fell in love working with family systems and helping families and couples, become closer and connect in deeper, more fulfilling ways. Becoming married myself, I learned how powerful and enriching a relationship can be.

Outside of my clinical practice, I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring and connecting to nature, and engaging in creative pursuits. I believe in the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle and encourage my clients to create the life they want for themselves.
