Out of Network Therapists in Boca Raton, FL

I am currently in network with UHC, UMR, Oscar & AvMed. I am an out-of-network (OON) provider for all other insurance cos. Most PPO & POS plans allow OON benefits, HMO’s do not. Making the decision to start therapy is not always an easy one to make. For many, this decision is often complicated by personal expectations and self-judgement regarding what they “could” have done differently in the past, or what they “should” be able to change (on their own). So, if you’re finding yourself struggling to make a similar decision, you’re not alone! If you don't think you are ready for therapy, don't rush into it!

I provide a warm and safe space for you to develop your unique strengths, and to work on those behaviors and beliefs you'd like to improve. I utilize a combination of Somatic, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, DBT, EMDR, and Addiction Recovery therapies. Our goal will usually be to help you cope with the impact of stressful emotions, change habits, and develop more positive and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. It is important to me that therapy feels like more than just hard work; it should be balanced with an element of fun and play as well. We need to enjoy the process of growth, not just suffer through it!

Do you want to just feel good already? The key to living a happy successful life is in your relationship with yourself and others.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in my profile on Psychology Today. I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Boca Raton, Florida where I maintain a private practice. I treat my clients as whole human beings and speak to them from my soul. This authentic approach allows clients to feel the safety and security needed to make the therapeutic changes that they so desire. My field training was done in a multi modal treatment center in Los Angeles, CA. They prided themselves on connection and this value is embedded in the work that I do with my clients.

For therapy to be effective it is necessary to find a therapist that is a good fit. Someone with whom you can feel comfortable. Someone who takes your concerns seriously. My practice focuses on creating that kind of relationship; one that is built on empathy, trust and compassion. My approach to working with clients is strength based. Gaining insight by understanding patterns and behaviors in the present and the past is the first step towards change. Therapy gives you the courage to work towards the desired changes and the opportunity to take control of your life.

On a personal note, outside of my professional career, much of my own life experiences have enabled me to be relatable through the ups and downs one goes through over the years. As an active listener, I am understanding, empathetic, and care very deeply about navigating my clients in the proper direction they need to go. I am happy to offer the flexibility of working remotely, providing a safe space, with the end goal inspiring the ultimate guidance needed for whatever life transitions are present for you at this time.

It can be challenging to make the decision to seek help. It is courageous of you to reach out for support and I hope to make you feel comfortable from the first moment we start talking. My goal is simple: I want you to feel better. My approach to treatment is integrative, collaborative, and highly personalized to meet your specific needs. I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to explore past experiences, interpersonal dynamics and current stressors. Together, we will uncover new ways of coping with and overcoming the issues that brought you here.

My priority is for you to feel valued, understood and hopeful, as we work together to improve the quality of your life. I offer support, motivation and guidance - using techniques that are best for your therapy needs and personality. My experience includes helping clients with depression, anxiety, stress, fears, abuse, low self esteem, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, workplace conflicts, and life transitions. In addition to my work in mental health counseling, I have twenty years of management experience in human resources and employee relations.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders including Social Anxiety, Panic, Phobias, Depression and OCD in children, adolescents, and adults. By emphasizing the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors clients gain insight into their concerns and learn techniques for managing their anxiety. To target the behavioral aspects of anxiety I incorporate exposure techniques into my work and help clients engage in exposures in the office and in real-world settings. Mindfulness is also an important aspect of my work, helping clients to be more present in their daily lives.

My specialty involves working with people who find themselves experiencing big, strong emotions that feel out of control or overwhelming. Whether that's a result of being naturally wired as a highly sensitive person, an outgrowth of traumatic experiences, or often a combination of both, people who live life this way often struggle with managing their thoughts, behavior, and relationships. You might also become fearful of feelings and find yourself avoiding and pushing them away. I want to support you in understanding and validating those emotions while giving you the skills you'll need to make productive and lasting change.

Loneliness. Deep and profound loneliness is a common theme that I have seen in working with individuals and families struggling with addiction. "Addiction is the disease of escape" Compulsive and self destructive behaviors are an ettempt to escape underlying emotional pain. With appropriate clinical interventions we can learn healthy coping skills and alternate ways of dealing with our emotional pain. This is the first step to establishing intimacy and meaningful relationships, bringing into our life the happiness we all deserve.
