Family Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I am an experienced doctor of psychology and licensed psychotherapist, who specializes in treating individuals across the life span, couples, and families experiencing a wide-range of difficulties. My passionate, friendly and patient approach is aimed at developing a therapeutic relationship with my clients that will inspire hope, help them recognize their strengths and develop the insight and skills to navigate life's challenges. With an understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness of each individual, I recognize that no single approach is right for everyone and strive to integrate various therapeutic orientations and interventions in understanding and helping clients.

I feel very strongly that the therapeutic relationship is critical in helping clients work through their issues. However, it is also the therapist's style and ability, working collaboratively with clients, to identify these difficulties and plan a course of care in a safe and confidential environment that is equally essential. I have over 25 years experience working with adults, adolescents, couples and families.

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.

Are you seeking to overcome everyday struggles, stressors, family conflict and/or previous traumatic situations? I can provide the help that you need to feel better about yourself and gain more confidence. The clients that i generally see, tend to struggle with making decisions that they feel like they have to make, or should make, rather than those that they want to make. My clients often wish they could feel more confident, feel better about themselves, and stop doubting what they say and do.

Does your child struggle at school socially, academically, or behaviorally? Does your child have difficulty focusing on schoolwork and finishing tasks in a timely manner? If you are a parent, is getting your child to do homework or chores a daily struggle and interfering with quality family time. Do you beat yourself up wondering, "What did I do wrong?" Or are you an adult who seems to forget important details or miss deadlines? Are time constraints at work or college overwhelming you and preventing you from doing your best? Do these difficulties affect your quality of life?

I am passionate about helping individuals through their journey of self-exploration, personal growth, healing, and becoming in touch with their innate resiliency and inner peace. Whether you struggle with deep and traumatic emotional wounds, or you are looking to improve the quality of your everyday life and relationships, change is possible and attainable. Through developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, I am here to hold space, teach you helpful skills, and provide guidance with overcoming and persevering through your life’s unique and present difficulties.

Does this sound familiar? “I can’t do this. I'll fail. I’m an awful person. I’ll never be good enough. I'm hopeless.” Thoughts like these are powerful and very common for anyone experiencing anxiety. Your thoughts and emotions are valid, but hearing these messages over and over again in your head can take a toll on your well-being. I aim to help my clients find new ways to cope with intrusive, negative thoughts that seem impossible to control. Negative thoughts have a source which is usually a deep, negative belief about the self. I assist my clients realize their strengths and create a new, more positive belief about themselves.

In our current society talking about mental health issues has become more acceptable. However, that does not take away from the difficulty of seeking help and breaking free of old patterns of thinking. If you are reading this, it means you are ready to take action. I am experienced in helping my clients break out of an array of maladaptive behaviors and challenges brought to them by life, family trauma, and societal pressure. My goal as a therapist is to provide a supportive and engaging environment where we will create together new coping tools to deal with life's challenges.

My goal in founding my practice is to support others to find peace and wholeness within their lives and relationships. Throughout my time working in private practice I have assisted clients with transforming their lives from desperation and overwhelming anxiety to a life filled with hope and serenity. I have watched families who were broken by addiction who grew to live a chaotic-free life with the tools to navigate their communication and let go of codependent behaviors. I have had the pleasure of coaching couples on the verge of divorce to grow together and build a stronger relationship.

You fight with everything in you. You are the person that spends your free time searching for solutions. Your family is strained. Tomorrow will bring new arguments, new misunderstandings, and more stress. There is no greater pain than the pain dealt by those who are supposed to love you. You have carried your share of pain and have made so many efforts to get things back on track. It is now getting to the point where you are not sure how much more you have left to give. You've hit a wall and at this point, you feel stuck and your family feels stuck.

My goal is to create a space for clients to be able to be themselves and share their heart with me. When speaking to me you will have the desire to release the things on your mind. I have experience with domestic violence, people facing homelessness, family transition, medical concerns, trauma, life work issues, spiritual abuse and I also have experience with Christian Counseling.

I work with people who have gone through the same things I've gone through - divorce, remarriage, blended family & parenting struggles, grief & loss due to death and suicide, and loving & care taking of someone with a severe mental illness and/or chronic illness. Let's face it, finding a therapist is hard. You're feeling overwhelmed already and now you've got a list of people with letters after their names and little pictures. You look at the picture and wonder if that person is someone you can talk to. I've been there & it stinks! You deserve to have someone listen, someone to connect to, someone who understands your struggles.

Hello, I am a licensed therapist in the state of Florida.

Many of us navigate the world using the survival skills we learned in our childhood. We often grew up learning to view and interact with the world in a way that made us feel safe. Now, some of these survival styles hinder us from building deeper connections with others and ourselves. Our marriage becomes challenging, family interactions feel superficial, and we often feel the need to be vulnerable but don't out of fear of judgment. This stops us from connecting with others, establishing boundaries, and making better decisions.
