You’re not sure about this whole online-therapy thing. You may have been toying with the idea of coming to therapy for months or years, and now that you may technically have the time, you’re worried about whether a virtual session can be as helpful as an in-person one. Whether it is confronting anxious thoughts or relationship conflict that keeps resurfacing, a desire to release the hold that traumatic experiences have on you, or navigating a season of change, one thing is clear: attempts to tolerate your overwhelming feelings alone or deciding to ignore them altogether is usually unhelpful and can even make your symptoms worse.

There is hope, even when we navigate life without an owner’s manual. We can learn how to understand our experiences and let go of anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal troubles. A bottom-up approach to integrating body, mind, and soul is necessary to tackle a new way of thinking, being, and doing. We start by gently befriending our body sensations and emotions because we don’t do as we think, we do as we feel. In that way, we learn to connect to our inner wisdom, inherent power, and resilience and move towards our best selves. These potential lives in you. Connection and inner safety are our birthrights.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

Life can be difficult and challenging at times. You might be struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship problems, career issues, or simply looking to live a happier and more stress- free life. We often believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness, and that counseling can be an intimidating prospect. Taking that first step in finding help is scary, but you do not have to struggle alone. Even if you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, you can overcome the obstacles that hold you back from success and happiness. Challenges or crises can be opportunities for growth and change.

My expertise is helping adults with chronic anxiety and/or depression, and/or grief feel better. My clients are adults who are competent and skilled in many ways, but not in healing their own spiraling fears and emotional pain. With investment in the therapy process, my clients learn to quiet self-criticism, and calm themselves when distressed. They feel more competent in relationship, and they navigate conflicts more skillfully. Daily life is more satisfying. They value themselves and honor what they bring to the world. They feel more hopeful about their future - even if it's not the future they once imagined for themselves.

Do you worry your teen or young adult may be struggling? Maybe you've seen a change in their mood, grades or social situation? You can't understand their behavior, and attempts to reach them either land on deaf ears or backfire completely. These years can feel like a rollercoaster ride. Young people experience increased emotionality, heightened stress sensitivity and greater impulsivity that is difficult to self-manage and can easily take a toll on wellbeing. Regardless of the obstacles, they deserve to feel good in their own skin. You deserve to sleep well at night. Let me help!

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom. The weight of sadness can be suffocating, draining your energy and leaving you in a constant state of emotional numbness. Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness and we will find it together.

I provide counseling by incorporating both intuitively driven work as well as Psychodynamic and Evidence Based modalities. Infused within the work is the encouraged reconnection to both the soul and the natural world. I believe that during the healing process from all types of trauma we can learn/relearn the feeling of joy as well as experience post traumatic growth.

I enjoy working with clients across the life span (birth- adulthood) specializing in complex cases. Complex could be defined as any of these: treatment failures, multiple or co-occurring diagnosis, intellectual disabilities or personality disorders. I believe we deserve to live with joy. I am passionate about helping those who feel that they are constantly functioning from a place of fear, suffering and stress. I prefer to utilizes a variety of modalities because I believe that one size does not fit all. Some of my favorite modalities are DBT, family systems therapy, expressive arts, ERP for OCD, EMDR & Prolonged Exposure for PTSD.

Welcome! I would like to guide you on a journey that calms your mind and increases your sense of peace. If your critical thoughts and painful feelings are creating your reality, then you most likely feel drained and depleted. These thoughts and feelings are often defenses from the past that are no longer serving you. The goal of therapy is to understand the parts of you that are hurt and hidden from view. Therapy will enable you to feel freer to pursue the life you want. I specialize in treating people who are suffering from anxiety and depression, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, domestic violence and sexual assault.

I primarily work with adults and young adults suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or addiction, in addition to those struggling with relational/communication issues. I take a highly personal, strengths-based, positive approach tailored to each client's individual needs. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which directly targets negative thoughts, I use an acceptance-based approach by encouraging clients to accept, rather than negate, current thoughts patterns so that clients can move toward their values and start living meaningful and productive lives.

My passion for helping others began at a young age, volunteering in middle school. This was the start of my life long career of over 35 years working as a Social Worker with people in various scenarios; the past 19 years, primarily with elders and their adult children. I treat Depression, Anxiety and Panic Disorder, Bipolar DO, OCD and PTSD. I have joined the amazing group at Boca Raton Psychiatry and work in conjunction with the psychiatrists as part of your team.
