Self Esteem Therapists in Royal Palm Beach, FL

Hello and thank you for inquiring about my services! I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in counseling psychology from Rutgers University. I have been practicing in the field for over twenty years and have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I enjoy working with clients of all gender orientations from ages 14 to older adult and offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy. Though my clinical training has been primarily cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic, I believe it is important to consider each client's unique experiences during therapy.

Are you overwhelmed with marriage issues, depression, and anxiety? Are you struggling with your self-esteem and the stress of life feels too much to handle? Do you often hyperfocus on your trauma? Are you on the brink of divorce? No one deserves to feel alone. Life takes a village. We live in a time where there is every platform to connect, yet individuals feel more alone than ever, everyone behind devices, individuals lost and disconnected. You are not alone. With over 15+ years of experience working with clients on their journey of personal growth and healing, we can work together to create a healthier version of you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I graduated from Florida International University with my undergraduate degree in Psychology, and later earned my graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Barry University. I have over six years of experience in substance abuse treatment and the treatment of co-occurring disorders, and 10 years of experience in education.

The healing journey may seem daunting and out of reach, especially if you're someone who has dealt with years of trauma, attachment, and associating mental health issues. Maybe you're taking the brave step of reaching out to find a therapist for the first time, or you've been in therapy for years and feel like nothing has been able to help you truly move forward. I specialize in both PTSD and Complex PTSD recovery and issues related to attachment, anxiety/depression, and self-esteem. I am here to normalize and validate wherever you may be on your path and focus on supporting your self-empowerment and healing.

I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges with self-worth and depression. My ideal clients often grapple with issues related to unhealthy relationships, domestic violence, sexual assault, narcissistic abuse, or childhood trauma. I am dedicated to providing empathetic guidance to help you navigate these difficulties and work towards personal growth and healing.

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.

For the past 30+ years,I have been helping children, ages 5 and up, families, teenagers, couples, and adults. My approach to improving the lives of others, is based upon a variety of techniques. I challenge myself to think out of the box, with each individual, and have had great success being part of the personal growth of many. The primary focus is on teaching accountability and helping to empower individuals, families and couples to make "wiser choices." My style is interactive, which allows both the individual and therapist to work together as a team to resolve problems.

I have experience working with individuals who have feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, confidence/self-esteem issues, as well as trauma. I specialize in working with first responders, and those who struggle with unwanted feelings. I can help you have a better understanding of your feelings and life struggles.

Sometimes, even the greatest, strongest parents, grandparents, and caregivers need a little bit of assistance helping kids and teens work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point in life. Today, kids and teens are facing those challenges earlier than ever. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma recovery, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope. I would be honored to assist your child and your family in unlocking the confidence and resiliency that will lead to a brighter tomorrow.

Sometimes we find ourselves lost or stuck and feeling unable to move forward. It's in these times where we need support, someone to help us find our way. It is OK to reach out and so important to take care of ourselves. It might seem difficult to do but everyone at some time needs help. Reaching out is an act of courage and can be the start to finding yourself and moving forward once again. Committing to therapy can be the first step and I would be honored to support you on this journey.

My ideal client may present with a variety of issues, but ultimately they are motivated to seek change and implement strategies discussed in therapy while in-between sessions. They strive to be open and vulnerable in sessions and are looking to be an active and collaborative part of their therapeutic journey. I believe that we are all experts on our own experience, and a client who is willing to provide feedback on what is working and what isn't can assist in helping them tailor the therapy experience to their individual needs.

Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we need a little help to get us through our most difficult times. I am here to assist clients who willfully want to better their life and find the true meaning of what it is to fully "live" life as opposed to watching the days pass by. Once we change the way we think, it will change the way we feel. I truly feel this process of healing begins within our own mind--with our own thoughts and our own feelings.

Research shows that people would rather experience physical pain than emotional pain. These tough times can make us feel hopeless, vulnerable and powerless. As we know, we cannot avoid life’s hurts that leave us with feelings of pain, guilt, anger and shame; however, we can learn from these emotions. Emotions influence our thinking processes, which can impact how we see the world around us. Therapy can help clear these barriers of uncertainty, which can prevent us from achieving our personal goals, getting that promotion, or achieving a healthy relationship.

Life does not come with a book of instructions and at times life can be overwhelmingly confusing. If there was only someone that could help you figure out things. Things like anxiety, frustration, anger or even sadness. Or maybe it is someone you love who is struggling and you want to help. Do these thoughts sound familiar to you? There is help available to assist you in the process of finding the answers you may need to life’s difficulties.

Is your student struggling to make academic progress in school? Are they displaying unusual or unacceptable behavior? As a Licensed School Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I administer psychological evaluations and counsel students and families to overcome issues that interfere with education and familial harmony.

If you are experiencing significant life change/transition, stress, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, if you are a couple in crisis, experiencing obstacles/situations that are preventing you from living your best life, I am here for you.

I offer private counseling for individual adults and couples as well as experiential processes, classes, workshops and retreats. So often life events threaten our sense of peace and contentment. Addictions/ compulsive behaviors steal our freedom to live as we were made. We get caught up in repeating the same patterns that lead to the same results and feel frustrated , anxious or unhappy. I can help you discover the hidden/unconscious beliefs or emotional wounds that interfere with feeling whole, then teach you the tools that empower you to heal and correct faulty assumptions from the past.

As a faith based mental health therapist I have specialized in working with teens who may be experiencing anxiety, hyperactivity, and behavioral issues. I also work a great deal with relationships of all types including families, couples, coworkers, board members, etc. My approach is to build trust and open communication with my clients and then teach them to do the same in their relationships. Clients learn to first look in the mirror before they seek to externalize their issues. The changes I seek to facilitate are life long heart changes and not simply behavioral ones.
