Therapists in Miami, FL

Finding your true, authentic self can be daunting. You may feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed by life experiences. Together we can discover the motivations, tools, and skills which will allow you to be content, more-productive, and less anxious. In a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space, you and I can explore your patterns of thinking and feeling, and the meanings behind them. We will remove obstacles which get in your way. Client's often tell me that my warm, non-judgmental approach and careful listening help them to feel safe, freeing them to understand themselves in ways they've never considered.

Done talking about it? Ready for actual results? Need a change now? Are you tired of feeling horrible? Have you been to several therapists who need to "understand you", before anything happens? Have you talked about the same issues over and over, perhaps with several therapists, only left feeling more frustrated? Do you feel that just when a session is getting interesting, it is over? And now you are left feeling vulnerable for 1 or 2 weeks until the next appointment? Do you spend your days thinking about what you would tell your therapist, but when the time comes, something different happens? You are not alone. You deserve better

I work with motivated individuals and families who are ready to address problem areas, develop insight, and identify what is of most value and meaning in their lives. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, especially as it relates to family system and relationship issues, life stressors and transitions, and substance use disorders. In addition to my clinical practice I speak nationally on these topics and work as a clinical consultant. I believe in providing quality, authentic, and clinically informed care that identifies and addresses the root causes of problems and barriers to living a more meaningful life.

Therapy can be intimidating to consider when you are having difficulty with elements of your life or relationships. Particularly during these uncertain times. I applaud you for taking the important step of researching the right clinician for you. My goal is to understand you as a person on your journey of growth, acceptance and change. You will not be treated as a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. We will approach your unique challenges/opportunities in a honest and trusting environment. I hope you gain a deeper awareness of yourself and greater confidence in your ability to reconcile the past, and navigate your present/future.

Frustrated of being told to "relax", "calm down", "you are too sensitive", "grow up" & "get over it already, or "you worry to much"? People tell you this as if you do not want to relax, stop overthinking, overreact and worry! If you could, you would! Being told this from friends and loved ones does not help. In fact, it can cause you to feel much worse! You probably have tried to stop on your own, but your mind continues to fill up with thoughts that cause you to become stressed and you struggle to turn your brain off! You are not alone! I get it and can absolutely relate! This why I am so dedicated in helping people find relief!

Do you scroll through your social media and wonder why you aren’t living your “best life”?
