I understand it is not easy to begin therapy, but when you decide to address your issues, I am here to help you. I work with ages 19 and up in all aspects of mental health. We are all human and with that can come coping with life's issues. I have been in the field for many years, but I feel it is important to be educated in the new areas of psychology and social work. This includes medication, holistic approaches, hypnosis, trauma treatments and the newest field of psychedelic's. This allows the client and myself to form a treatment plan that suits your needs.

Aging with grace is not always an easy task. There are decisions to be made about retirement, finances, where to live, accessibility, health and family. There are losses of people we love. Our health declines naturally with age and there can be chronic illnesses to cope with. People who are aging may need support in adjusting to changes in physical and mental health if it appears to be interfering with daily life.

Psychologist, PhD
Deerfield Beach, FL 33442
I am an adult and pediatric psychologist. Having been a practicing psychologist for over 20 years, my focus is cognitive behavior therapy. This involves changing the irrational beliefs behind stress, anxiety, and depression. Some of my specialties include women's issues, trauma, rape, OCD, teens, children, divorce, drug & alcohol related issues. Life is stressful. It sometimes feels like it's just too much to handle. Perhaps you are feeling tired all the time, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled in your relationships or job, or as though you are going through the motions of life experiencing little joy. You are not alone.

My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, depression, or addiction. They may understand intellectually why they struggle but find that insight alone hasn't changed how they feel or react. I work especially well with clients ready to address difficult experiences directly and develop healthier ways of responding. Using trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, clinical hypnotherapy, CBT, and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients process unresolved experiences, identify patterns, build practical skills, and move toward greater emotional freedom and control.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
