EMDR Therapists in Miami-dade County, FL
I use trauma-informed care, EMDR, CBT, and eclectic therapy to support growth and self-trust.
My ideal client feels stuck between who they’ve been and who they want to be. They’re navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, or trauma—and they’re tired of doing it alone. They’re often the ones others rely on, but rarely have space for themselves. They want clarity, peace, and more authentic connection. They don’t need fixing—they need a place to be seen, supported, and gently challenged. Together, we work to untangle what’s holding them back so they can live with more freedom and self-trust.

You already checked to make sure your front door was locked, and now you’re going to check again. It’s always the same struggle; an intrusive idea takes root and refuses to let go. From there, it spirals out of control, multiplying into countless variations and scenarios. You know that logically it doesn’t make any sense, but you can’t help yourself. "What's wrong with me?" you keep wondering. You’re constantly trapped in a cycle of distressing thoughts, compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors or safety measures. It's a constant battle, and you long for a life free from the grip of these obsessions and compulsions.

I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), Integrative Couples and Sex Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), including the EMDR Couples Protocol.
Why invest in your relationship? Simple, because healthy intimate relationships are the heartbeat and building block for the life we want to live. Life’s most important transitions often happen at the intersection of our intimate relationships. They are a living workshop for practicing healthier communication, boundaries, and self-awareness. Couples counseling helps bring forward emotional patterns that enable individuals to explore and reshape their relationships. I believe that every individual and couple deserves an empathetic and non-judgmental space where they are truly seen and understood.
