Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Wilton Manors, FL

Sometimes life becomes unmanageable on our own and we have to reach out for help. I am here to help normalize therapy and the discomfort that comes along with it. I am trained in EMDR, a modality used to help process traumatic memories and the cognitions associated with them. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from chronic anxiety, depression, complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, identity issues, addiction, LGBTQ+ issues, and everyday life stressors that can be difficult to manage.

People often come to me stuck in past traumas, unhelpful patterns or survival mode. You might struggle with people-pleasing, numbing, or toxic relationships. Maybe you seek a compassionate space to talk about things you can't talk about anywhere else. I work with people wanting to understand and change the perplexing, harmful, or debilitating ways their mind and body react. My passion is helping people to feel more confident, empowered, in control and present. If you're looking to free yourself from past traumas and shame, to feel clearer and more content, we might be a good fit.

Results-driven, compassionate and confidential: As a psychologist with 15+ years of international education & experience in Europe and the US, I have extensive experience working with busy professionals and understand the unique challenges that come with success. I specialize in evidence-based tools to help you overcome challenges like stress, ADHD, anxiety/phobias, and relationship issues. Intentionally keeping my client base small, I operate on a concierge-like model of psychological services to provide a high level of compassionate care and attention. You are not just a number; you deserve solutions tailored to your unique needs.

As a compassionate psychotherapist, I am here to help you navigate the difficult feelings that you may be having to stay present in the world today. As a clinician that has been practicing for over 30 years, I have learned that all behavior has meaning. Through the use of cognitive and experiential interventions, we can utilize your current resources and strengths to make meaning of your experiences and utilize them to propel you forward in life. I have worked with adolescents, adults and children throughout my career. I am very passionate about mental health and have been an advocate for our most vulnerable communities.

I provide virtual (video and phone) psychotherapy and counseling for adults living anywhere in Georgia and Florida. I work with a wide range of adult issues, including anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer). My first goal with you as a new client is to establish a genuine human relationship where you can feel safe, relaxed and understood. To that end, you will notice that sessions feel conversational and "real." I also bring extensive clinical experience and expertise. I'm naturally empathic and validating but will also challenge you to take ownership of your own life and choices.

My mission is to help those seeking to establish peace with in themselves; to live a life established on an unwavering foundation. All builders know that the integrity of the establishments they construct need an unwavering foundation to remain at rest; not moved by the wind, water or movement of the earth. Likewise we can live peaceably in a confluent state of rest, unshaken by the stress of life, fully enjoying who and what we are.

Managing relationships, balancing priorities, and maintaining a healthy and meaningful lifestyle can be challenging. Therapy is often a primary resource used to gain better insights that help us become experts on our own lives. I believe in a solution focused and motivational style to therapy, while collaborating and working together with my patient to meet goals and create successes. Living a more valued and meaningful life helps in symptom reduction and improves overall quality of life and happiness.

I know you want to be confident, easy-going, and present in your life, but you may struggle feeling overwhelmed and stuck. In order to cope effectively with life’s challenges, it’s important to understand your current patterns and the reason you’re unable to meet your goals. Then, you can begin to change them to show up as your ideal self. The problem is, it’s difficult to figure this cycle out on your own. Most of us were never taught how to communicate, manage difficult emotions, or cope in general. In therapy, I'll help you move forward, so you can begin to show up for yourself, others, and live a meaningful life.

When you're not feeling your best self, it’s difficult to show up in your life in a meaningful way. You miss everything! Of course, everyone wants to feel happy and confident, but it’s not easy to know exactly how to accomplish that. Sometimes we need someone to talk to; a professional to support us and show us the skills and strategies to build a successful, joyful life. We’ll guide you towards deeper self-understanding and help you skillfully manage life’s big and small challenges so that you can embody the happy & self-assured partner, parent, leader, and human that you are.
