LMFT, 24 years of experience
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.
During our first session, we will spend time getting acquainted and identifying treatment expectations. We will work on a plan to guide our work together and to help you meet your objectives.
I believe that that my training and professional experience provide me with a well-rounded clinical foundation. It would be my pleasure to assist you in your journey.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families to support improved communication.
