Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Boca Raton, FL

I provide counseling to teens and adults; individuals, couples, and families; with a trauma informed, diversity informed, LGBTQ inclusive approach. My approach to therapy is foremost client centered. I view the role of the therapist as "helper" or "sidekick." While I will contribute my know-how, I am aware that my clients know the "what" and that we discover the "why" together in our sessions. In sessions, my objectives are your objectives. I think that perspective is vital to empowering you so that together we can accomplish the goals that caused you to seek counseling. Feeling safe and supported is vital.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to facilitate positive change in clients seeking better emotional and social functioning to improve their feelings of satisfaction and the overall quality of their lives. The most rewarding part of being a therapist is knowing that I’ve had a part in affecting the life of another human being. Giving hope when people feel hopeless. Empowering people to embrace change and to leave their comfort zone to discover something new. Inspiring others to be all that they are capable of being and to realize one’s own potential.
