Contrary to popular belief, therapy isn’t just for those in trouble. It can actually be a “think tank” utilized by wholesome individuals to jumpstart their next massive maneuver. Having someone bound by confidentiality to help you process life, it's stressors, or barriers is invaluable.

Whether it was your decision or your spouse’s, experiencing divorce leads to confusion, anger, resentment, and anxiety. You’re feeling grief over the pending loss of the marriage and at times wonder if the entire marriage had been a waste. Was it all for nothing? You once loved and trusted each other. Now, the legal proceedings can suddenly make your spouse seem like an adversary. Complications abound including lawyers, court dates and disputes over child visitation. After the divorce is over, your life is nothing like what you had planned...it seems as if your mind is hampered by a heavy fog. How can you sort things out?

I started in Music Therapy. I see children, teens, couples, families and individuals. I will be expanding to incorporate the Bonny Method of GIM which is trance work for healing.

The human experience isn't always an easy one. In fact, it's most often challenging and requires growth and change. My goal is to work with you to develop the tools necessary for the growth you seek. We all require support at times in our lives and it has always been my passion to help others. I feel confident that I can be that support for you. It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards can last a lifetime.

Relationships should be where we find love, safety, and fulfillment. It is terrifying and heartbreaking to think that your marriage or relationship with a loved one might end. There is a distance between you and your spouse that can no longer be ignored. Your family needs help to build and improve your connection with one another. Feeling desperate for a solution. You want so much more for yourself, your family, and/or your marriage.

You’ve begun the process of knowing you want something to change in your life. Don't stop now! Choose a therapist you can connect with, who you feel comfortable with, is non-judgmental, supportive, compassionate and experienced to help you. Invest in yourself. You are worth it! Family and friends are often too close to the problem to be objective. I will listen and offer a fresh unbiased and experienced perspective and teach you useful tools to help you get your life moving forward again. I applaud you - it takes courage to make this decision!

As a certified Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental, and empathetic counseling/therapy approach in a safe and supportive environment. Some problems, in our lives, are either self-imposed or imposed on us by other means. What we perceive might be different than reality. Negative beliefs affect us mentally and physically. Misinterpretations and irrational or self-defeating beliefs can create unhappy feelings, self-doubt, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, etc. Problems don’t go away by themselves; we need to resolve them.

Since 1991 I've delved into C.G. Jung's teachings, engaging in workshops and lectures across Zurich, Switzerland, and South Florida. My focus lies in aiding patients in overcoming psychological obstacles, conflicts, and trauma, utilizing Jungian psychology's profound exploration of the unconscious. This transformative process extends beyond symptom relief, fostering optimal personal growth by deciphering psychological patterns in their entirety rather than as mere disorders or diagnostic codes. A Jungian approach unveils the deepest mysteries of existence and purpose for those facing profound challenges.

Are you finding it hard to cope with stress? Uncomfortable with uncertainty? Is your worry interfering with your ability to concentrate, leading to avoidance & procrastination? Maybe you've spent hours scrolling through Psychology Today profiles but froze when it was time to choose one. A part of you would do anything to avoid calling to book this appointment. I get it. But, your untreated anxiety or depression interferes with too many areas of your life—making it harder at work and in relationships. You're isolating because it all feels exhausting and overwhelming. Change is usually challenging for you, but this time, you're ready.
