Therapists in Port Saint Lucie, FL

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working with client’s who struggle with a wide variety of mental health disorders, as well as trauma and addiction related issues. Many of my clients have benefited from the development of new healthy coping skills as it relates to self-esteem, anxiety, and anger management issues.

I am double board-certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. I believe in using both medication when indicated as well as therapy. I was trained in CBT and was given the Excellence in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during my residency program. I use supportive therapy with each client I see. During my residency I served as Chief Resident and was awarded the Overall Excellence in Psychiatry Award as well as the Clinical Excellence Award.

My ideal client struggles with insecurities, fears, has low self- esteem, and difficulties to identify his or her strengths. He or she has fears, and anxieties, and create the worst possible case scenarios in his or her inner dialogue for situations that he or she finds threatening or challenging. Also my ideal client needs to identify strategies to better manage their time. My ideal client struggles with anxieties in his or her relationship, which could lead to codependency and anxious attachment patterns.

Are you feeling emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner? Is communication not clear? Passion & intimacy gone within your relationship? Are you having some difficulty with your sexual behaviors, urges or desires? Unsure of your sexuality? Are you a therapist or professional helper? Feeling disconnected in a relationship can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable and alone. Having sexual issues can be embarrassing and alienating. Not being accepted due to your sexuality can be hurtful. My affirming and empathetic approach can help you gain a sense of normalcy, dig deeper and begin to make the changes you desire.

At times of great stress, both adult and children may respond with withdrawing, anger, problem behaviors or just “don’t seem like themselves”. In counseling I hope to create a safe place where you can explore concerns regarding school, life or walk through the process of healing from past trauma and emotional pain.

I like that I can provide therapy to those who would generally not seek help because of cultural conditioning, stigma, tradition, or limited access. When a therapist understands the cultural language that is being spoken, it empowers. While in my case, one can expect to feel safe and express themselves with out feeling judged.
