Hello! I am a South Florida-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 7 years of experience. I earned my Masters from St. Thomas University in Florida and am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University. My practice focuses on assisting individuals, and couples in repairing relationships and fostering healthy connections with themselves and others. Apart from working within the context of relationships I also enjoy working individually with clients experiencing anxiety or trauma related disorders.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, we'll begin with quick introductions and answer questions you may have about the therapeutic process before delving into the specific hurdles you're currently navigating. This information will serve as the foundation for me to formulate a personalized plan that we can address in subsequent sessions. I will work on gathering important information needed for our clinical work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With 7 years of experience working with individuals and couples who have undergone traumatic experiences, I've gained insights into the diverse challenges couples encounter. I can customize my approach to suit your specific needs as a couple and aid individuals in understanding the pervasive impact of past traumas on various aspects of their lives, supporting them on their path to healing.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I find fulfillment in assisting individuals affected by past traumatic experiences, helping them acquire tools to transition from survival mode to thriving in both their lives and relationships. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples experiencing a sense of disconnection, guiding them towards improved communication and understanding. My clients are motivated to enhance their well-being, yet they lack the tools to realize these goals. Many of them feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about how to initiate positive changes in their lives.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to empower clients by fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By collaboratively examining and challenging negative thought patterns, I assist individuals in reshaping their cognitive processes and developing healthier perspectives. By identifying unhelpful beliefs and coping mechanisms, clients gain valuable insights into the root causes of their challenges, paving the way for meaningful change. Implementing practical techniques and skill-building exercises, I guide clients in acquiring effective coping strategies that promote lasting emotional resilience.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Through the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approach I help clients achieve tangible, positive outcomes. With a focus on the present and future, SFBT emphasizes clients' strengths, resources, and aspirations rather than dwelling extensively on problems. Through collaborative conversations, I work with clients to identify and amplify their existing strengths, allowing them to envision a future where their desired changes have taken place. By co-creating realistic and achievable goals, we work together to develop practical strategies that pave the way for meaningful progress. SFBT's emphasis on client resilience and self-efficacy enables individuals to tap into their potential, fostering a sense of agency and empowerment. This approach allows for a concise and effective therapeutic process, ensuring that clients not only address their challenges but also embark on a path of self-discovery and sustainable positive change.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
As a therapist committed to promoting profound emotional healing and relational growth, I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) into my practice as a transformative approach. Grounded in the understanding that emotions are key to understanding and changing relational dynamics, EFT enables me to guide clients through a journey of self-discovery and connection. By fostering a secure therapeutic alliance, I create a safe space for clients to explore and express their emotions openly. EFT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative emotional patterns within relationships, emphasizing the importance of attachment and bonding.
Gottman method
I utilize the Gottman Method to guide couples toward building and maintaining thriving relationships. Grounded in decades of research on marital dynamics, the Gottman Method emphasizes a holistic approach to couples therapy, focusing on fostering intimacy, understanding, and effective communication. I employ thorough assessments to identify each couple's unique strengths and challenges, allowing me to tailor interventions that address their specific needs. Through the teaching of practical skills, such as effective communication and conflict resolution, I empower couples to navigate challenges and strengthen their emotional connection.
Trauma Informed Care
I am dedicated to providing trauma-informed care, having undergone specialized training to better address the unique needs of clients who have experienced trauma. Rooted in an understanding of the widespread impact of trauma on individuals, I approach therapy with a heightened awareness of the potential effects on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. My specialized training equips me to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, where clients feel empowered and respected. By integrating trauma-sensitive techniques and interventions, I strive to foster a sense of agency and collaboration, allowing clients to navigate their healing journey at their own pace. Through a compassionate and strengths-based approach, I work to validate clients' experiences, promote resilience, and facilitate a sense of empowerment, guiding them towards post-traumatic growth and overall well-being.
