Counseling and behavioral health services for you and those you love.

I approach things differently, blending psychotherapy with intuition. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as energy psychology. Some fundamental questions in our work together will be: how does fear control your life? what causes you to stay stuck in unhealthy patterns? Digging into these patterns is our launchpad. But tapping into your intuition and your higher self is a game changer. Fear will no longer be in charge of your mind. My passion is to help you connect the dots in your own life and really trust yourself.

Most people who end up in my office are asking themselves, "What's wrong with me? Am I ever going to feel normal again?" Why am I having these negative or disturbing thoughts/feelings/behaviors? Many people are reluctant to seek help because they don't believe anything can work for them. They are afraid, or have gotten so accustomed to struggling through life. If you are having trouble regulating your emotions, behavior, thoughts, relationships or life in general, I can help. You can feel normal again. You can function successfully at your job. You can have meaningful relationships.

I have had experience in the private and the public sector, counseling and developing individuals to meet their highest potential. Currently licensed as an LMHC in the State of Florida, I have had much experience in providing therapy for individuals that have a history of abuse or neglect. I am very familiar with working with troubled families, and couples with relationship issues.

As a dating therapist, I work with single people to help them create a new road map for finding healthy love by learning to lead with their truest self. That all-consuming worry from thinking something is wrong with you that makes relationships SO hard keeps you up at night. While you’ve often thought maybe you're just meant to be single, you know that’s not what you really want. You’ve started seeing some patterns surface from past relationships and you’re either giving more love than you’re getting…or if they’re into you, you’re just not into them.

My clients have a wide range of reasons for seeking a psychological evaluation. I am able to work in many expert areas and have over 20 years of clinical experience. Adult and child autism and ADHD assessments are offered. I also do forensic evaluations for guardianship, competency, court-ordered evaluations, etc. I also offer neuropsychological evaluations for many concerns such as dementia or TBI. I offer educational/academic evaluations for college students who need accommodations or persons who wish to document a disability and apply for disability.

ADHD assessments for 504/IEP available. Are you struggling to bring your life under control? Are you feeling helpless with your loved ones? Allow me to help you bring balance back to your life and achieve your goals. I have the skills, experience, and education to help you with anxiety, depression, ASD, OCD, BP, trauma, parenting/co-parenting, LGBTQIA2+ issues, and more. I have success with helping clients recover from the pain of loss, divorce, separation, and empty nest syndrome. I can assist you, or your loved one, in preparing for significant life changes in a career or selecting and preparing for college. I am here to help you.

Do you struggle with worry, anxiety, indecisiveness, or overthinking? Have you ever felt not good enough? Do you have difficulty in saying no? Are you experiencing low- self-esteem? Are you overwhelmed with unresolved issues? If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, past or present traumatic events in your life, I can help. I also work with couples who are constantly fighting, can't find a way to communicate well, or are trying to recover from infidelity. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 8 years of experience in the field and the owner of Personal Development Therapy.

My ideal clients share a common motivation: the desire to overcome their current struggles and create positive change in their lives. They seek a therapist who can provide a safe and nonjudgmental space, offer guidance, and empower them to develop effective coping strategies. Together, we will identify and explore their unique needs and goals, working collaboratively towards healing, growth, and greater emotional well-being.

I specialize in helping people find the best version of themselves. If you can change your thoughts, you can change your life. I use several techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and positive psychology methods to help find a path to happiness. I work with all types of life situations and people so contact me today and we can schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit for each other.

Have you ever had the feeling that you have been living your life on autopilot, then you look around and think, “how did I get here?” Perhaps this thought spirals into depression for lost time, poor choices, and/or missed opportunities. Maybe anxiety settles into your chest with this depression, causing crippling indecision. The weirdly good news is that you are not alone in these thoughts and feelings, and there IS something you can do about it. Nearly every person experiences some form of trauma in their lives, and most are ill-equipped to move forward functionally with the aftermath.

I have a strong background in psychoanalysis and spiritual evolution. I am an ordained Zen Buddhist with a background in different spiritual approaches and life changes. I am what psychologists would call a multi cultural person. I put a strong emphasis on inner growth and moving beyond stagnation. An interpersonal connection to my clients is important. My overall experience in life gives me tools to work with a client that one does not find in the usual psychological approach. If you are looking to grow and develop more awareness definitely check me out.

So, you’re thinking about therapy… It takes courage to ask for help. When we experience something that has caused distress, threatens our life or our well-being it can be difficult to think clearly to make healthy choices for ourselves. Therapy allows you to talk about all of the negative thoughts and feelings that are left over.

I like to meet my clients where they are at in life in a relaxed atmosphere. Even my most skeptical clients had shared they liked the practical and conversational-style sessions. I am passionate about organizing and managing life's challenges in a safe, non-judgmental environment with room to laugh and cry.

Our bodies and brains have natural systems for dealing with difficult and stressful life situations or events. Experiencing or watching a frightening, dangerous, or violent event can overload these these natural systems. Other frequent life experiences such as job or relationship stress, divorce, loss, and accidents can trigger trauma responses as well. Feelings of depression, isolation, anxiousness, tension, irritability, numbness, nightmares, or alcohol/substance abuse are common. Other times, we might just feel stuck and unable to move past the past. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a therapy that can help.

My goal is to help you in the areas of life where you feel stuck, identify the areas of suffering you experience, and to come up with a plan to move you forward in your life. Every person is different as is every single plan for treatment. I am trained in a variety of therapies and specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma. If I can help you figure out next steps, please don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.

Life's challenges can seem overwhelming at times, whether we are dealing with self-worth issues, social anxiety, depression, marital or other relational issues, stress in the workplace, job dissatisfaction, spiritual uncertainty, financial issues, or a general dissatisfaction with life. My goal is to help you to find joy, peace, and fulfillment through your connection with God.

We have all struggled in life in some way! If you struggle with excessive worry, indecisiveness, overthinking, self-doubt, low self-esteem, you are not alone! Many people are trapped in fear which can show up as anxiety, lack of motivation, depression, reduced immunity, and illness. Fear can paralyze us from living a fulfilling life, achieving our goals and experiencing joy. If you are in the midst of a struggle, I want you to know that whatever it is you’re going through right now is not forever, and change is possible! Allow me to use my years of professional and lived experience to help you gain the skills to reach your goals!

Do your surroundings promote a feeling of peace and harmony, or stress and anxiety? A cluttered environment can be a sign of a cluttered, or chaotic mind. Clearing away that clutter can be complicated by emotions and attachments. I offer judgment-free and culturally-sensitive support that teaches you to detach and let go of what no longer serves you. Leading to more inner and outer peace, with space for creating the life you want.
