Warmth,
compassion,
and powerful change.

Let’s Connect!

Welcome to my practice

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering individual, couples, and family therapy in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas.

I work with a variety of clients who seek to improve the quality of their lives, their relationships with others, and their relationship with themselves.

I create a warm and collaborative environment full of compassion, patience, and non-judgment.

My approach is integrative and relational. I believe that “feeling better” involves not only the reduction of those things in our lives which feel painful, distressing, or problematic but also the enrichment of our joy, our relationships, our success, and our passions.

Life is not meant to be reduced, but expanded!

My Services

Depression & Mood

Whether it is depression, bipolar disorders,
irritability, or low motivation, and changes in our moods can become barriers to important goals and
functioning. Understanding the nature of our mood changes is a powerful part of maximizing our ability to manage and improve our experiences.

Anxiety

Unmanageable worry and anxiety can paralyze us and rob us of our joy. Learn habits and coping skills that help you reduce and manage anxiety, while exploring the source of your issues. Through guided discovery, you can unmask your fears and liberate your life!

Trauma

Trauma can change the way we experience and move through the world, while leaving us feeling powerless and out of control. Learning about common and personal trauma responses helps us to connect with self-compassion, while developing ways of processing, releasing, and managing our experiences.

Grief & Loss

Living and loving fully cannot exist without loss. Impermanence finds itself in all aspects of life. Learning how to navigate loss, grief, and the many “deaths” of living is a vital part of our human existence.

Relationships

We have relationships with our families, partners, colleagues, peers, ourselves, and even our habits and practices! We are in relationship with all
aspects of our lives and relationships represent our greatest joys, teachers, and struggles. Understand yourself and others and deepen the connection, fulfillment, and depth of your many relationships through individual, couples, or
family therapy. 

Personal Growth & Exploration

Personal growth and exploration are intrinsically woven into every therapeutic goal.

However, you do not need to have distress or suffering to seek self-knowledge. Whether it involves identity issues, desired change, achieving important goals, finding meaning and purpose in your life, or deepening self-understanding (and self-compassion), therapy is a rich and powerful space to embark on journeys of self-exploration and growth. 

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

Sexual and gender minorities represent a nuanced crosshairs of cultural identities and related experiences. The formative experiences faced by members of these communities are unique and often colored by ‘otherness’, internalized shame and rejection, unique identity development, and increased risk of trauma and other adverse mental health experiences. As such, therapy with LGBTQ+ clients requires specific cultural competency, sensitivity, attitudes, and approaches tailored to specific needs of these communities.

FAQ

Give me a call today 954-652-6344 for a free consultation. We will discuss your initial goals for therapy, answer your questions, discuss scheduling and cost, and help you get started on your therapeutic journey!

The first session will involve my getting to know more about you and your goals. This will involve a collaborative process of gathering some history and background for me to get an introductory knowledge of you and your world. This process helps me to understand the nuances of your experiences and the goals you are seeking to work on.

Additionally, an important part of the process involves answering any questions you may have about my approach, recommendations, or therapy. I encourage you to process your sense of fit and trust within our interactions.

Your therapeutic journey will be as unique as you are. Generally speaking, therapy will be guided by your goals and together we will explore your circumstances, relationships, important life events, and other personal factors with the goal of increasing self-knowledge and awareness. This allows us to identify specific coping skills and interventions that facilitate change and growth.

We will focus on immediate, short-term issues, as well as, long standing patterns that may influence various areas of your life, relationships, and overall well-being. The work in therapy will occur on many levels, involving learning new coping skills, problem-solving, and also exploring underlying beliefs, emotions, values, and needs.

Call me (954-652-6344) for more information about the therapeutic process and how it can unfold for you.

Therapy is an enriching, empowering, and rewarding process that can be utilized to bring about desired change, achieve goals, gain understanding of yourself and others, and address all sorts of challenges in your life. You may have specific mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma responses, etc.) or you may simply wish to embark on a journey of self-development and growth.

If you have not partaken in therapy before, the process can seem intimidating. Whether loved ones have recommended that you seek support or you are questioning your own need for therapy, I encourage you to call me for a consultation (954-652-6344).

I will answer any questions and help you determine if therapy would be a good fit for your situation.

Most of my clients benefit from one, 50-minute session per week. However, the frequency of therapy depends on your individual circumstances and needs. Some clients seek therapy every other week or every three weeks, while others will attend therapy twice weekly during difficult moments or transitions. The decision for the best frequency of therapy is an important conversation to have collaboratively and one that we can arrive at together.

Please reach out to me 954-652-6344 in order to receive the most up to date listing of my accepted insurance or to inquire about my out-of-pocket rates.

 

Planning for the financial expense of therapy is an important part of the process. Understanding any financial restraints or limitations can help us to collaboratively plan out your therapy process.

I offer therapy services both in person and via telehealth. Several of my clients utilize a hybrid approach to accommodate their schedules. I am able to tailor your therapy to your schedule and needs.

I offer services fully in English or Spanish. I have experience in working with Depression, Bipolar disorders, Anxiety, and Trauma-related challenges. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and have experience in working with sexual and gender minorities and their loved ones.
