Couples Counseling Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Are you struggling to find a healthy work life balance, feeling overwhelmed in your professional/academic life, and not able to make time for yourself or your loved ones?

As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in treating anxiety (social anxiety, panic attacks, excessive worry, phobias, perfectionism), OCD and related disorders, depression, and trauma (PTSD). I received my post-doctoral training at the University of Miami and previously served as Clinical Director for the Anxiety Treatment Center at Nova Southeastern University. Currently, I maintain a private practice in Fort Lauderdale where I see children, teens, and adults. My approach is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I love helping people find acceptance and create change in various areas of their lives.

I am an experienced and empathic psychotherapist. I’ve returned from living in Key West after five years to South Florida. I learned about the culture of "Paradise" from my clients that I continue to work with. Psychotherapy is an art based on psychology. Talking to a stranger about your concerns often cause anxiety. I start with the issue you present. My style is to listen well, be mindful, deliberate, supportive, respectful, and flexible based on your needs and personality. I am interactive and present as we interact. My client is my co- partner and has the information to change as we collaborate. Progress in life is the aim.

I’m a Mental Health Counselor committed to empower individuals with different types of mental health conditions. I have found the importance of using a holistic perspective that addresses the body, mind, spirit, and interpersonal context to achieve wellness. I understand that every patient has different circumstances, strengths, and barriers, therefore I believe that is imperative to develop an individualized treatment plan focusing on the client’s goals using a collaborative approach. I use mindfulness training to teach my clients how to monitor their symptoms to achieve independence.

Everyone deserves to find joy and peace in their life. The journey may be more difficult if your childhood was traumatic or painful.

Are you feeling sad, depressed, or overwhelmed? Do you suffer from anxiety, low self-esteem, or sexual issues and concerns? Are you unfulfilled in your relationship ? The good news is that you have the amazing ability and power to change your life and create joy, happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes we just need a little help. I work with individuals and couples and together in therapy we explore what is holding you back from living the life you want.

LGBT, Relationships/Marriage, Sex, Kink/Fetish, Career Goals, Anxiety/Depression, HIV... Sometimes it can be so easy to sweep things under the rug and deal with it later. The problem is often we have so much going on that we forget to address things that we say we will. This therapeutic practice strongly believes that every person, every situation, and the surrounding circumstances are all unique. Your situation may sound like or seem similar to someone else’s but YOU are the factor that makes yours different, and that’s what the main focus will be; how you can be empowered to explore with me and take solutions into your world.

Trained in psychoanalytic (psychodynamic) approach, I offer a form of therapy that fosters personal development and freedom from unsatisfying and painful patterns of living.

Treatment is not one size fits all. This in-depth exploration sets in motion a process of transformation and fosters insight, healing, & growth.

Dear Reader, depression, anxiety and trauma are my primary areas of work. I utilize a unique combination of modalities to address the cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and physical components of wellness. My work combines CBT, EMDR, Polyvagal Therapy with mindfulness and other cognitive-based approaches to help my clients move through their traumas and grow into the people they want to be. My clients come to me from all walks of life with a common goal: to reclaim their lives from the wounds of their past and to establish a new relationship with their personal story.

You feel trapped. Too often you find yourself in relationships you don’t belong in. You gravitate towards relationships that are likely to repeat a pattern of unhappiness.

Life is challenging and it is not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed. Seeking the help of a psychologist can be a powerful tool for overcoming barriers to happiness. Only 5% of psychologists are Board Certified; I am a seasoned psychologist with two Board Certifications (CBT and Addictions), professor, and founder of the Motivational Institute for Behavioral Health. I do evidence-based work, which means more than just chatting about difficulties. We actively work together to better understand behaviors and relationship difficulties, develop goals, and follow through with strategies to achieve positive change.
