Gestalt Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Currently accepting new clients! Our clients bring various challenges like emotional distress, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and trauma. In a vulnerable state, they need a validating and empathetic space, requiring coping strategies and introspection into root causes. Skill development, including communication and emotional regulation, becomes a common goal in our work and a necessary strategy for people to heal and move forward. Therapeutic objectives focus on emotional regulation, improved relationships, and increased self-awareness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or searching for a sense of direction? As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I am here to help you navigate life's challenges and find your path to healing and growth. I have experience of working with different populations. I have worked for more than a decade in different clinical and educational areas. I specialized in CBT and REBT. In my last years I have worked with couples, kids, women who have suffered domestic violence as well as with older adults, helping them go through different circumstances that are difficult for their lives.

Maybe you are struggling with things that happened in your past that are keeping you from living a full life. Maybe you have been feeling lost or overwhelmed due to difficult situations or relationships. Maybe you have been feeling isolated, lonely, or just simply not like yourself lately. If you are going through any of these hard things or the other difficulties of life, I send you loving-kindness. I love being able to compassionately support people like you who want to see meaningful and noticeable changes in how they view themselves and the world around them so they can stop being in survival mode, and finally just start living.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with professional work experience working with adults, geriatrics, children and families in both healthcare and mental health setting. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, life transitions, motivation, self-esteem, ketamine assisted therapy and confidence. My experience focuses on a targeted treatment modalities and evidence based interventions specifically tailored to my clients needs.

I specialize in providing neurodiverse-affirming therapy. What does this mean? It means that my therapeutic approach is to help you embrace your differences while still trying to navigate a neurotypical world and expectations. Usually, the clients I see in my practice are adults who have trouble navigating life transitions and are usually on the spectrum of ADHD, Autism, OCD, Anxiety, and/or Depression. I don’t believe people necessarily fit in a neat little box that is labeled with a mental health diagnosis. I don’t believe that a diagnosis should be a means to an end for treatment. There’s no one size fits all treatment.

What brings someone to therapy varies. You may have a long history of trauma and having these issues unresolved is impacting your day to day living and relationships. You may be struggling with intimacy issues, marital issues and/or depression and anxiety and need guidance and support. Whatever the issue(s), the goal is to be openminded enough to take the first step in allowing someone to guide you on your journey and accepting the fact that you deserve this support.

Exhale. You have arrived at the right moment in your journey. Imagine your difficulties fading away like a bad dream in the rearview. You are moving toward your destination with confidence. Purpose. Butterflies. You’re Alive. And it feels inspired. What kind of therapist do you want beside you on your journey? An experienced traveler, no doubt. No stranger to life and death. Curious, warm, and open. Perceptive. Sees the beauty, heartbreak, irony, and even humor, in any given landscape. Instigates laughter. Invites silence. Beholds tears. Amplifies the good stuff. Kind. Respected. Affordable. Finds a way to schedule on short notice.

Are you seeking to overcome everyday struggles, stressors, family conflict and/or previous traumatic situations? I can provide the help that you need to feel better about yourself and gain more confidence. The clients that I generally see, tend to struggle with feelings of being overwhelmed, lack of confidence in themselves, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, as well as struggling with relationship issues. My clients often wish they could feel more confident, feel better about themselves, and stop doubting what they say and do.

I am driven to relate to my clients in a deeply personal and authentic manner that helps them to see themselves clearer and find the acceptance they seek through the intrapersonal strength they gain via the therapeutic relationship.
