The Helping Place

Specialties

I see kids through elder adults and mostly deal with depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, and loneliness. I also deal with Family Mediation and divorce, Civil Mediation and Healthcare/​Medical Arbitration and kids whose parents are having a hard time. Additionally, I see vets who are graduates of Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD and other problems. On the Career side, I do career counseling and assessment to assist people in figuring out what they want to do when they grow up.

I specialize in assisting people, help themselves. We know that changes don’t come from others, but from «within» ourselves. If I could show a person the road, then we can enable them to learn how to transverse it on their own.

My uniqueness comes from my own varied experiences. I have; worked with physically ill patients, run multimillion dollar companies and been responsible for over 300 employees and associated families. Not withstanding my own family, kids, dogs, etc. What’s more, I love what I do!

Additionally, I am Florida certified in many of the mediation specialties — Circuit Civil, Appellate and Elder Care. Furthermore, I am a Parenting Coordinator, Mental Health Supervisor and Guardian Ad Litem. An attorney colleague and I do Family Mediation otherwise known as Divorce. We work with Mediated or Collaborative Divorce. In both specialties, the methods speak to a «non-​adversarial divorce» with family communication as paramount.
