Let's Connect (786) 600-7596

Taking the first step to contact me is not an easy one. You may have been thinking about it for some time and hoping things would improve. Maybe sadness or anxiety continues to seep into your life, especially with people and places that used to bring you joy. People don’t seem to understand what’s wrong, and seeking support from friends and family is more difficult. They may even think you’re making a bigger deal out of things than they really are. Are you worrying more than you used to before? Or maybe you’re thinking about who you are and who you want to be. Maybe it's time to take that step.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to support you in answering one or all of these three big questions: Why do I always feel this way? Why do I always think these things? Why do I always do these things? We get to the root of the problem to impact lasting change. Your current experience doesn't need to be permanent.

People come to me wanting to discuss events that have left a layer of challenges in their lives and relationships. Often, clients who are holding on to significant trauma or lifelong challenges resist sharing out of fear of embarrassment or a belief that things can't change. We will take it at your pace together. I’ll be ready when you are.

I fell in love with the practice of EMDR after witnessing the impact of this work in clients I had referred out for this treatment. As a result, I knew it was a necessary skill to build within my own practice. Time and time again, I am honored to witness the growth of my clients who chose to engage in this work. The mutual payoff is the when they surprise themselves of their capacity to heal.

I use CBT to support you in understanding repetitive patterns that cause conflict internally and within relationships. I can show you how to make changes to these patterns for lasting change. For patterns that are intense, EMDR supports in processing these experiences to build perspective and understanding to begin healing, impacting significant and long-term change.
