It can be very difficult to trust someone especially a stranger and telling your story multiple times. Asking for help is not always easy and scheduling can be challenging. Currently I see adult clients remotely and some children outdoors in Prospect Park.
Life is often hard, and you don’t have to go it alone. I am here if you’re seeking to build stronger attachments in your relationships, navigating significant life transitions, processing the pain and complexity of grief and loss, feeling stuck or unsure of your life’s path, struggling with your identity, or wanting to better understand how past experiences inform your present-day decisions.
My clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, collaborative, and judgment-free approach. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard and understood, so I focus on building a safe space where you can be open about your experiences and goals. My style is practical and evidence-based, blending CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to help you develop skills you can use in everyday life. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or burnout, we’ll work together at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.

Relationships can be difficult. You often feel careful not to upset anyone, constantly second-guessing your words, and carrying the weight of other people’s emotions. You may feel like you’re walking on eggshells, stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, or seeking approval just to feel “good enough.” Deep down, you might fear being seen as too much. You’ve learned to silence your needs to keep the peace. You might feel responsible for how others feel and find yourself putting their needs before your own. Maybe you grew up needing to earn love or learned to stay small to feel safe.
If any of this sounds familiar, know that you're not broken and you’re not alone. These patterns are often rooted in trauma, especially from childhood or past relationships. Together, we can start to untangle them. Healing is possible, and it starts by learning to trust yourself again. I am committed to help people thrive and heal from their past traumas.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner proudly serving clients across Florida. With over 18 years of combined healthcare experience, I am passionate about helping individuals reclaim their mental wellness through collaborative, individualized care.
