Bisexual Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Our goal at the collective is to provide a queer affirming, safe and intimate space for you to explore your inner world, bringing you closer to living your most authentic life. Each clinician brings their authentic self to each session allowing for an individualized, collaborative approach to treatment with a core belief that you are the expert in your own life. It is our belief that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client.

Do you need to address your feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of motivation? Do you need guidance in developing positive coping strategies? Do you struggle with feelings of shame, guilt or possibly feeling misunderstood? Would you like to enhance your sense of hope and resilience?   Psychotherapy changed my life and inspired me to enhance my career path by becoming an advocate and psychotherapist to help others with mental health issues. I graduated from NSU with a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree.

Do you feel like you are being held back because of a depressed mood, anxious feelings, or past trauma? Are you uncomfortable trusting others? Imagine having meaningful relationships, feeling confident, and having control over your life. I enjoy helping my clients solve their problems. I am certified in Trauma Focussed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is typically used with persons with a trauma history, PTSD, or depression. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which has great efficacy with personality disorders. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) are also used for anxiety, phobias, addiction, and trauma.

There are so many messages that you’ve probably lived with growing up that don’t work for you anymore. Messages that make it hard to be present, to get things done, or make you feel like you're in "survival mode". Maybe you’re expected to move on from some hard times – or hard losses. Or maybe you’ve always had to be the “Perfect One”, the “Black Sheep” or the “Silent One” in your family. But there’s so much more to you than your struggles or the labels that have been placed on you. You don't have to live life feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts, numbness, or expectations every day. You deserve to live authentically.

Do you need help sorting through the muck of life? We each have demands from our jobs, school, friends, relationships, and our own self-development. Sometimes the expectations of society to reach a certain checkmarks creates stress and anxiety. We each need room to grow into our authentic selves and support to meet the goals that get us there.

I am a trauma specialist committed to helping you survive and thrive after crisis, trauma or in times of stress. I am passionate about serving the first responder, military, veteran and LGBTQ+ communities. I also specialize in mood and borderline personality disorders. My work focuses on building strength and resiliency through a variety of practical techniques. I believe in a straightforward, collaborative approach to treatment built on honesty and humor. I will provide support when you are struggling, push you when you need it and help you use your strengths to find your own unique solutions to move forward in your life.

Searching for relief from from the stresses of daily life? Well, you can breathe easier now. There will always be time for others, but now is your chance to "reclaim your time" and focus on building and recognizing your self worth. In therapy, we will begin healing the hurts that left you with anxiety and self-doubt. We'll work to develop the internal voice of encouragement you need in order to stop negative thought patterns in their tracks, while walking towards your light and your purpose. Are you working to become a more peaceful, optimistic person?

I strive to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, so that I can meet my clients where they are at and provide space for exploring their concerns. I approach therapy as a collaboration between myself and the client - together we will identify treatment goals and examine pathways for reaching these goals. I attempt to understand my clients on multiple levels, including culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age and ability status. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a number of areas, including: coping with anxiety and depression, life transitions, identity development, grief and loss, and relationship concerns.

Individuals who struggle with sexual addiction, and couples are my ideal clients. I work with couples and individuals struggling with sexual addictions & infidelity. The process of working together is like a puzzle; together we lay out all the pieces on the table, look at them together, first finding the corner pieces, and then complete the puzzle from the inside-out, until the last piece is in place. I started Fort Lauderdale Behavior Therapy so I can help individuals, couples and families who suffer from the life damaging, often devastating effects of infidelity, sex and porn addiction.

Welcome! Are you tired of putting other people's emotional needs first? Would you like to feel accepted as you truly are? Did you pick up harmful messages about yourself and others from an unsupportive, self absorbed, or controlling parent? If you don't know where to begin, that's ok! The work I do with my clients is direct and active. Together we validate the real self and challenge the limiting beliefs and unconscious life scripts that sabotage healing and prolong suffering. The work we'll do focuses on the here and now interaction between therapist and client and the childhood roots of unhelpful relationship behaviors.

I have a 100% online practice, and I especially enjoy working with clients who are in transition—into high school, college, or young adulthood—and are motivated to learn techniques to grow and evolve. I especially love helping teens and young adults w/ High Functioning Autism, ADHD, LD, or Social Anxiety navigate college, work, or life. Making improvements in one's life takes time and energy both inside the virtual therapy room and in daily life, and I believe that learning concrete skills to implement outside of therapy is necessary to make progress. I use a variety of technology to support clients in using skills on the daily!

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected from others and from yourself and want to find your spark again? Has the anxiety become to much to handle? Do you keep your true feelings and identity hidden because you feel no one will understand or accept the real you? Are you exhausted from your perfectionism and constant need to overachieve and want to let that go? Maybe you're a caregiver who gives so much of yourself to others, but your cup is empty. I want you to find relief and it's not necessary for you to suffer alone anymore. Holistic practices can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms.

Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

Are you trying to get pregnant? Dealing with a long fertility journey and countless tests and treatment protocols? Or maybe you are pregnant, but things are looking different than you thought they would.

Success comes naturally to you. But not this time - this time it's different. If building a family has thrown you onto an unexpected path, we are here, ready to walk with you.

Therapy should improve your quality of life and be accessible. This is why my practice has gone fully virtual since the start of the pandemic.
