Hey! My name is Stacy, and I am a licensed mental health counselor working in Broward County. I graduated from Barry University with a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling, and a specialization in Rehabilitation in 2013. I have worked in substance abuse treatment at a variety of care levels, including within the prison system.
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with a variety of addictions. I have also worked with clients whose loved ones are struggling with addiction, individuals who experience a variety of mental health struggles including depression, anxiety, and other co-occurring disorders as well as phase of life issues, low self-esteem, and anger.
Are you ready to make a change? Feel empowered? Create the life you have always dreamed of? Barriers to our life goals come in all forms and are truly unique to you. Whether it’s an addiction, a new life change, anger, poor communication skills, anxiety, or depression. I will work with you to identify, challenge and replace your unique barriers so you can begin to create a life you love.
My goal is always to help clients tap into their personal power. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches in order to offer a holistic approach and I value client centered and solution focused therapeutic modalities. In therapy, we will explore your goals, (or what brings you to therapy), family history, core belief systems and the skills and parts of your life that a currently working for you.
In my own life, I love to laugh and have found it to be a great therapeutic tool for myself and with my clients. I am a proud Dog mom, to two very awesome rescues. I have been practicing veganism since 2014 and have a daily yoga and meditation practice.
