I'm a licensed clinical psychologist at an independent private practice located in Wilton Manors, Florida. I have obtained Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission. I can now provide telehealth to folks outside of Florida and Indiana, where I hold state licenses. There are currently 42 participating states! For a list of current PSYPACT participating states, please visit the PSYPACT website at: https://www.psypact.org/psypactmap.
I completed my doctoral training at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and have been providing therapy to the community for the last five years. Specifically, I enjoyed two years of training at the Trauma Resolution and Integration Program at Nova Southeastern University, where I worked under the supervision of Drs. Steven N. Gold and Amy E. Ellis, both of whom helped me to develop and refine my skills as a trauma specialist. Additionally, I completed two years of training at Henderson Behavioral Health in both the inpatient Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) and the Central and South outpatient branches under the supervision of Drs. Jennifer Davidtz, Ana Silva, and Jeffrey Mandlekorn. While working at these branches, I treated primarily acute psychosis and long-term mental illnesses (i.e. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and borderline personality disorder).
In addition to my clinical work, my research endeavors have allowed me to gain experience working with new mothers overcoming peripartum depression and anxiety related to the unique transition into motherhood. While my training rotations have been vastly different, my passion remains the same: getting to know my clients, empowering them, and watching them transform.
My Areas of Expertise
I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy to adolescents (ages 16 and up) and adults focusing on range of difficulties and phase of life issues:
- Childhood trauma impacting individuals in adulthood
- Peripartum and postpartum depression and anxiety
- Psychosis and long-term mental illness (for example, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder)
- Depression and anxiety
-Interpersonal issues with loved ones, family members, friends, or coworkers
My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is one that conceptualizes early experiences as a blueprint for your current relational patterns, behaviors, and worldview. Understanding how your behaviors and worldview came to be is imperative because identifying the function of unhelpful behavior allows us to challenge and change negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while learning and replacing them with healthy ones. I collaborate with you on your goals and the ways in which we can achieve them - after all, you're the expert of your experience!
Above all, I work hard to create an inviting, safe space for you to feel important, heard, seen , and supported.
Healing is possible with time, patience, and hard work. I will meet you where you are at in your journey, supporting you and challenging you along the way.
I hope that together we can enhance your coping skills and cultivate the empowered attitude needed to reach your potential and live the life you want.
