I have practiced in Fort Lauderdale since 1999. My background also includes many years as a trial lawyer and a master's level social worker in New England. Over the years I have worked with a diverse group of people ranging in age from 6 to 92! While my initial training focused on working with children and families, especially in divorce-related issues, since moving to Florida, my practice took a dramatic turn towards working with obesity and bariatric surgery patients. As this field developed, it required me to expand my focus to include addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety and relationships issues.

I specialize in helping individuals rebuild themselves from the ground up by processing trauma, healing their inner child, & reshaping their narrative toward self-love, compassion, and confidence.
Trauma and past experiences shape all of us. They don’t just remain in the past—they are carried within our bodies, minds, and hearts. Whether it’s difficult parental relationships, abuse, neglect, abandonment, or the pain of heartbreak and challenging relationships, these experiences can leave us feeling hurt, lost, unlovable, and unsure of how to trust ourselves. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel fully seen and supported as you process your experiences and begin your healing journey. You don’t have to feel this way forever—healing is possible.

I work with individuals dealing with childhood trauma, survivors of narcissistic abuse, chronic people-pleasers, perfectionists, and those struggling with anxiety and panic attacks.
From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together, but inside, it feels like a completely different story. You might be rushing from one thing to another, trying to be everything for everyone. At work, you find yourself stuck in the never-ending quest for perfection. In relationships, you try so hard only to uncover that familiar, nagging, and sad thought: 'Am I doing enough? Am I enough?' Not to mention the political roller coaster overwhelming you in addition to the turbulent economy. To cope, you may find yourself reeling or swiping on dating apps—because it'll be different this time, right?

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
