About us
About You Counseling & Coaching, LLC is Amelia Island's counseling center dedicated to children and families. Although we treat adults, our area of specialization is in the diagnosis and treatment of school age children, young adults and their families who struggle with behavioral and/or mood issues such as ADHD, Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, Grief as well as adjustments to life changes and stress. It is a special place, to seek counseling, life coaching, parental guidance, skill building groups and other valuable resources. Here, kids have somewhere to vent, learn new skills (coping, problem solving, communication, anger management, organization, study, social, etc.) and more importantly, reflect and share their thoughts and feelings in a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment. Parents will learn more effective parenting skills and better ways to communicate with their children. The emotional health and well being of these children and their families are our first priority.
I am licensed clinical social worker in both Massachusetts and Florida. Born and raised in New Jersey, I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology in 1997 and earned a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. For more than 16 years, I have provided direct clinical care to individuals, couples, and families.
My experience with and dedication to treating ADHD throughout the lifespan and other emotional or behavior issues, isn’t just professional; it’s personal: I have ADHD. Untreated until I attended graduate school, I am better able to understand the effect of symptoms from a variety of perspectives and apply that knowledge to the treatment of my clients. My clients feel that because I live it, have struggled with it, understand the thoughts and emotions associated with it, and continue to find new strategies to manage and cope with it, it gives me an advantage in their treatment. I also have an ability to connect and develop an... show more alliance with teens, especially those who are defiant, disrespectful, who feel entitled or are resistant to counseling or coaching. Working with these challenging clients and the families affected by them, is my true passion. My clients have described me as an effective, progressive, hard working, caring, passionate, young at heart, empathetic, accommodating, “think outside the box” kind of therapist. show more
