Intellectual Disability Therapists in Miami Beach, FL

Do you hear your inner critic too often? Are you feeling irritable, down, or overwhelmed with worry? I help clients identify & change unhelpful thinking patterns, producing positive changes in emotions & well-being. As a neuropsychologist, I am interested in helping clients understand their cognitive strengths and weakness & apply for accommodations in academic & occupational settings. Assessment results are used to apply for standardized testing accommodations, to determine psychological/neuropsychological disability, for Gifted Program placement, for forensic purposes, & in treatment planning/recommendations.

We at the Miami Psychology Group (MPG) believe in providing effective, kind and supportive treatment. All our professionals participate in ongoing training to maintain the highest standards in our field. We encourage all clients to participate in initial interviews to see if the practice professionals can meet your needs and most importantly help heal, address and consult on the presenting reason or reasons for attempting treatment. We do not participate in insurance and can provide information on how to have your insurance cover some of the cost if that option is available to you through your insurance.

Welcome! I pride myself in providing child & adolescent specific care that heavily emphasizes family engagement. I find more optimal outcomes in my work when parents are willing to become vulnerable and connect with their children. Too often, we become focused on what children are not doing right and on their pathology that we lose sight of the things they are good at and the things that make them precious and unique. I teach parents how to harness their children's strengths to aid them in overcoming their struggles. The heart of this work lies in connection. If a child does not feel connected and safe, they will not heal.

As a Keymaker, we know that there isn’t a skeleton key that fits every person. And because of that we work hard to design the support & programing that you, your youth & family needs. That means if you’re not seeing a perfect fit, don’t worry we can create it together & support it through fruition. A Keymaker support service provider’s job is to provide appropriate and individualized support to the client and their family members so that they can be successful. This goal may be accomplished through being your advocate, tutor, task completion monitor, brainstorm facilitator, motivator, mentor, or coach.

On the surface, everything is fine. You do your work, pay your bills, and seem to have it all together. But inside is a different story. Your emotions are unpredictable – dizzyingly high one moment, then crashing back to earth the next. It’s impossible to find relief from the constant triggers and intrusive thoughts, so you hide. But in the process, you’re shrinking from the world. Nobody sees the real you, and it feels so isolating. You’d love to be able to express how you really feel, but you’re scared of how people would react. So you smile through your struggles and suffer in silence. If only there were some other way to live.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount in fostering change. It is through an open, nonjudgmental, and safe environment that clients can explore and grow into their most authentic selves and lead more fulfilling lives. My approach emphasizes how our past and present experiences shape how we relate to others and the world around us. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and utilize an integrative and collaborative approach that incorporates aspects of Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist, Relational, and Strengths-Based approaches.

Ready to make some changes in your life? We all have a lot going on in our lives and are often being pulled in different directions, making it hard to consider therapy as a helpful resource.

I have extensive skills with adolescents/adults/families yet conceptualize my role as guiding others to vibrantly re-illuminate their lives. My passion for psychotherapy stems from my appreciation for communication as a healing agent, intensified by my MSc. in Speech Pathology from McGill University. When challenged by traumatic medical events, I was struck by patients’ capacity to recover cognitive-linguistic functioning as well as purpose/identity. At Nova Southeastern University, I cultivated expertise in individual, family, and group counseling with sensitivity to language differences/disorders and/or multiple disabilities.
