When we can no longer accept the things we cannot change, we must change the things we cannot accept. Beginning a therapeutic journey can be an intimidating process, however, it is the first step towards growth, exploration, and change. Whether you are suffering with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues or you are interested in self-exploration, I believe that having a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist can make all the difference. My clinical focus includes working with LGBTQIA+ folks, self-esteem, and family of origin issues. I am passionate about providing a safe, validating, and affirming space for all.

On the outside, you've got it all together, but inside there's this whole world no one sees, mixed with fear, sadness, disappointments, old memories that won't go away. Maybe you can't sleep or you feel like no one understands the truth of the difficulties within. Possibly, you've tried therapy many times before but it just hasn't helped or been what you needed. If you're ready to share your story with someone, and receive nonjudgmental support, we may need to be working together.

Individuals who struggle with sexual addiction, and couples are my ideal clients. I work with couples and individuals struggling with sexual addictions & infidelity. The process of working together is like a puzzle; together we lay out all the pieces on the table, look at them together, first finding the corner pieces, and then complete the puzzle from the inside-out, until the last piece is in place. I started Fort Lauderdale Behavior Therapy so I can help individuals, couples and families who suffer from the life damaging, often devastating effects of infidelity, sex and porn addiction.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Congratulations! Taking the first steps toward living a healthier, fulfilling life takes courage. Just scrolling through therapist profiles shows your motivation for something different.

Navigating life after trauma, abusive relationships, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or religious abuse has left you feeling disconnected from yourself, your life and the people in it. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or hopelessness. Perhaps you have difficulty taking care of yourself, setting boundaries, fostering intimate relationships, or feeling present and safe in your body and mind. Despite everything, you’re feeling called to heal. You’re ready to rediscover your personal power, cultivate self-trust and intuition, and transform the pain of your past into profound inner-peace and life-long resilience.

Does everything look good on the outside but you feel as if something is missing? Are you hiding certain behaviors from peers and friends? Did you vow to never have a relationship like your parents and find your self hearing one of them in yourself as you argue with your partner? Are you in recovery but still struggling with self esteem or other addictions? It is difficult to understand the underlying causes of your own thought processes and behaviors alone. Talk therapy is a powerful tool that can help you work through life transitions, achieve your goals, or find relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety and relationship issues.

If you're in a problem relationship, experiencing infidelity, possible divorce, life transitions, difficulty in the workplace, too little time, worried about money, or your family's making you crazy - I can help. Moving from problem talk to solution talk is my focus. I enjoy working together discussing your concerns as you move toward fulfilling relationships, an overall better existence, and peace with yourself. We all want to feel happy and hopeful. However, sometimes life gets in the way and we're unsure of our next step. It's important to know that it's OK to ask for help.

The therapeutic bond is a healing space that is completely safe. That means, you can do close to no wrong in our relationship. This is a space that you are held with unconditional positive regard and should not be afraid to share things that you feel you may have done “wrong” that week, or avoid sharing something you weren’t able to accomplish. I want you to feel that you can tell me your deepest darkest thoughts and find that sometimes the best work comes when you are faced with things that make you uncomfortable.
