Therapists in Florida

Hi! I'm a licensed clinical social worker, licensed to practice in New York, Virginia and Florida. I acquired a master’s degree in social work from Columbia University and have a master's degree in psychology from NYU. I have been practicing for 16 years working with clients experiencing a wide range of issues that may include one or more of the following: low self confidence, relationship issues, anxiety/overthinking, depression, coping with life changes as well as parents facing challenges with their children. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach pulls from many different therapy styles blended with a direct, no-nonsense approach. I am here to support you in taking the steps towards building a more peaceful, fulfilling and authentic life.

Welcome! Please schedule a free 15 minunte consultation call with me before scheduling any sessions. This will let us know if we are a good fit. I graduated with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have had the opportunity to work with families, individuals and couples (English and Spanish speaking) of diverse backgrounds in helping them through concerns such as grief, parent-child conflict, intergenerational conflict, trauma, depression, anxiety and so on. My therapeutic and advocacy experience has reinforced in me the value of helping others gain insight and implement strategies to move towards positive change.
