Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing services in Florida and California. I graduated from Pace University and have been practicing as a clinician for 24 years. I am a strengths-based clinician with extensive training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy. The decision to seek therapy can be hard and intimidating. My goal is to provide a space for exploration, reflection and change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have completed specialized training in CBT for the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Psychosis and Substance Use Relapse Prevention. It provides an effective foundation to explore how our thoughts and assumptions influence how we feel and how we act.

Couples Counseling

I bring a wealth of experience working with couples to improve communication, relationship satisfaction and finding common ground.

Structural Family Therapy

I have used structural and systemic approaches working with youth, parents and families to reduce high risk behaviors and increase connectedness.

Taina was a respectful therapist. She asked questions to get to know me better and really helped guide me to see things from new perspectives. Although it was only our first session, I appreciate her insights and I look forward to seeing her again.

Taina is a very intelligent woman - you can tell by speaking to her. She's also very funny and witty, while keeping us focused & challenged. She helps us find solutions and to look on the bright side.

I've never seen a therapist I spoke with one so I didn't know what to expect but she made me feel like there was a little bit of hope that everything can get better and I wouldn't have to stress anymore!
