Life presents many complexities and unknowns, which can cause us to question ourselves and our decisions. We may feel a crisis of meaning, and irritable reaching for clarity and peace. My practice consists of adults who experience depression, anxiety, or relational problems that can result from these struggles with life meaning. I am accepting new patients for psychoanalysis. This approach honors the wisdom of the inner world to find a sense of peace and acceptance for the outer world. It requires a commitment to honesty, truth, and personal responsibility. I am also a Florida qualified supervisor for counselors and postdocs.

Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

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.

Does your work and home life make you feel like you want to run away and hide? Is your life satisfaction at an all-time low? No surprise...you're stressed out, overwhelmed, anxious and seriously wondering what's the point?!?! Your digital life is a mess, all while juggling endless emails, daunting deadlines, tiresome meetings...and then faking a smile for the latest selfie. Even in the rare breakaway with your co-workers or friends, you find them judging that bald spot on the sides of your head where you're tearing your hair out over all the stress.

Couples! How did things get this bad? There was a time when you both could talk about anything. You connected so profoundly that the thought of having trouble communicating was laughable. But things have changed, and you're at an impasse. Now, every attempt at communication about what matters most leads to useless fighting or icy silences. When you’re together, you still feel desperately alone. You don’t recognize the person your partner has become. Even worse, you don’t like who this relationship has made you become. You aren’t ready to give up, but you know that things can't continue like this. You’re ready for help.
