Therapists in Colee Hammock, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Do you at times feel misunderstood, insecure, and overwhelmed? ​Disconnected from yourself or the people you love? Life can feel chaotic when we get stuck in old negative patterns. And the conflicts in our relationships can leave us feeling anxious and unsure what to do.​ ​Deep down, you may recognize there is past trauma, but you don't know how to release it. Maybe you have tried talk therapy to gain understanding, yet the wounds seem deeply entrenched in your body. Sometimes you worry that you will never fully heal. And yet you know, deep in your heart, that more is possible for you...

Some days you may feel unmotivated, some days you may feel completely overwhelmed, and some days you may not be sure what you’re feeling. If that sounds familiar, I can be there to guide you through those emotions. I support individuals who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, issues with interpersonal relationships and other life challenges. During therapy I provide affirming, compassionate, and supportive space to help you identify problems and find solutions. As we work together I can help you decrease troublesome symptoms and improve your mental wellbeing.

I graduated with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University (2014) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have had the opportunity to work with families, individuals and couples (English and Spanish speaking) of diverse backgrounds in helping them through concerns such as grief, parent-child conflict, intergenerational conflict, addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety and so on. My therapeutic and advocacy experience has reinforced in me the value of helping others gain insight and implement strategies to move towards positive change.

Relationships are constantly changing, but how are we growing during that period of time? Closer or distant? Understood or misunderstood? Alone or connected? Are you communicating? Often times feeling are not addressed because we have not communicated in such a way that allows for true understanding rather than a defense. Sometimes we may not know what is truly going on underneath, due to a heightened state of emotions. What would it look like to address those concerns as a couple or individual?

In times of uncertainty, feeling emotionally tired is not abnormal. When this feeling does not improve, it may be time to search for help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

When we or a loved one face challenges, sadness, anger, addiction, or anxiety, counseling helps us explore our beliefs and feelings enabling healing and making change possible. I work with diverse communities, adults, and children, with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences. One method that helps is Sandplay Therapy. Using miniatures and a sand tray, offers a deeply personal way to explore one's inner world, akin to 'waking dreams.' It facilitates profound self-discovery and healing for all ages. Children express themselves through play, and both adolescents and adults gain significant insights and transformation.

We bring all of our strengths and all of our struggles into our relationships. When those struggles threaten the health and stability of our relationships, it is time for help.

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, abuse, or is navigating a life transition, you deserve support and guidance to get back to safety, sanity and stability. I am licensed in MA, MD, FL and OH.
