Women's Issues Therapists in Coconut Creek, FL

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over twenty years of experience in the counseling field. I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I also received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from The University of Florida. I provide therapy for teenagers, adults, couples, and families in South Florida. My areas of expertise include: marital and family issues, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, school and behavioral issues, attention deficit disorders, parenting issues, grief and loss, women's issues, and communication skills.

I am originally from Maine and opened my first private practice in Connecticut where I raised my two children. After some time we admitted defeat with the winters of New England and moved to Florida so my husband could follow his career as a US Marshal. I continue to love working with patients while enjoying time with my family, the beach, reading and exploring new places and cuisine. I am a licensed clinical social worker providing therapeutic services to patients 16 and older. I take a holistic and patient-centered approach to the care of my patients.

Nothing is more rewarding than helping people acknowledge and utilize their natural capacity to heal, survive, overcome, and thrive. The therapy hour typically feels less like a chore and more like having a genuine, present experience where clients have the space to show up exactly as they are and be themselves. We all deserve the time and energy it takes to have a deep and meaningful relationship with ourselves, and it is my privilege to sit alongside my clients as they do this important work.

Life and its transitions can leave you feeling defeated, overwhelmed and trapped. However, these "growing pains" can open up doors to experiencing more fulfillment and happiness. If you've lost passion in your life or relationships, struggling to get through the day, feeling alone, regretful, idealizing the past, or even numbing yourself in some way to avoid feeling empty, it's time for a change.

We have experience dealing with anxiety, inadequacy, relationship problems, grief, cultural issues, depression, & more. We love getting a chance to work with clients from all walks of life, and especially women who struggle with self-doubt or figuring out how to become their best self. Unlike some places that will leave you feeling like “just another number,” we tailor all our services to meet your specific needs. As a matter of fact, we founded our private practice for 1 reason: to provide effective, personalized, culturally-competent services. If you’re tired of living the same old life & want to make some changes, we can help!

If you are looking for a caring,understanding, and effective therapist who will help you realize your best self, you have found her. Working together, you and I will come to understand where you are, what brought you here, and how to see yourself in a healthy light. As a result, you will find yourself more empowered and fulfilled in all relationships in your life.

I am a Christian Counselor with over 34 years of experience working in the field of addictions, loss/grief, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Co-dependency, depression, anxiety, Post Tramatic Stress Disorder, military issues, trauma, and relationship issues.

Congratulations to you on taking the first and one of the most important steps in seeking a better life! You will no longer have to struggle or figure it all out on your own. I take pride in offering my clients a safe, judgement-free, and relatable environment to discuss any and all of life's struggles. I openly assert that I love what I do and you will be able to see that in our work together. Through my own lived experience and what I have learned as a therapist, I have developed the unique ability to not just understand hardships, but also to overcome them. I choose to guide others with this knowledge and experience.

Does it feel like you are in survival mode 24/7 and struggling to feel like yourself? Maybe you have even thought: “I should enjoy being a parent, but I don’t love every moment. What is wrong with me?” You might wonder if you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety. Your relationship with your spouse is strained from the arguing and you feel disconnected. It feels like two ships passing in the night. You yearn for a deeper connection and to feel the passion you once had for one another. Mostly, you want relief and a sense of hope. But you’re not sure where to start.

Does the world seem like a scary and hopeless place? Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety and worry? Do you long to have more fulfilling relationships? Is pain from your past making it difficult to enjoy the present? You have been trying to solve these problems on your own and you are exhausted. Some days it may feel as though you are hanging on by a thread, but I am here to tell you there is hope. I want to know your story; How you came to find yourself in this place. I will meet you right where you are, in the middle of your mess, without judgment.

Healing is a progressive journey and if you’re ready to walk it through you won’t have to do it alone! Anxiety and depression can weigh hearts down, at times we just need a safe place to talk about it, gather perspectives, renew hope with no judgement. So together, let’s get to the heart of the matter!

Do you feel exhausted from trying to keep your head above water? Have you been wanting to break out of a vicious cycle, but nothing seems to be working? Making a change is hard work, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in the treatment of eating and body image concerns, grief and loss, depression, and relationship issues. Imagine what it would feel like to plan your day around friends, family, and the things most important to you instead of feeling like you need to hide your body, food, or exercise schedule. Picture how different your life would be if you could be kind towards yourself.

I am a psychologist licensed in Florida and New York with over 8 years of experience working as a school psychologist, trauma-informed postdoctoral resident and a clinical psychologist.

Our lives stay in constant transition despite being creatures of habit. One may also be viewed as an outsider for choosing to reject societal ideations. Achieving self fulfillment, acceptance, inner peace and happiness may seem ever fleeting. Your attempts at achieving these milestones on your own have been thwarted and may have resulted in self doubt, feelings of hopelessness, emotional instability, or even resentment of self or loved ones. A logical, unbiased, nonjudgmental, objective and experienced professional may be the key to ascertaining inner peace and life balance.
