Adoption Therapists in Weston, FL

I extend a personal welcome to you. I have been fortunate to receive intensive, high-quality training in clinical psychology; I completed internship and postdoctoral fellowship in Child/Family treatment at Dartmouth Medical School/National Center for PTSD. I am pleased to be able to provide effective, high-quality services to the community. During my time in residency, I received intensive training in evidence-based Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Prolonged Exposure for treatment of victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. I also specialize in treatment of anxiety and OCD.

As a clinical psychologist in private practice for over 20 years, I am able to provide a range of psychological services including individual, couples and group psychotherapy to adults, teens and children. Therapeutic methods are chosen specifically for the individual and include cognitive-behavioral, goal-oriented, eclectic and play therapy strategies. I have worked extensively in the following areas: ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, Asperger's, stress management, adoption issues, grief and interpersonal relationships.

Does life feel like a constant state of crisis and chaos? Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious, or distracted? Perhaps you’ve been labeled as lazy, selfish, forgetful, or irresponsible, or that you are not putting enough effort or energy into doing something. But behind the scenes, you are trying to keep it all together, you want to do well and it just isn’t working. There is so much guilt and shame that shows up. It's a heavy burden to carry. You may find yourself questioning why even simple tasks like laundry, doing the dishes, or simple conversations seem so challenging.

Is life spinning out of control? Does your head feel like a “worry machine" that's constantly churning? Are you continuously on edge with the feeling that something bad will happen? Maybe you don't trust yourself or anybody around you. Living in constant self-doubt and overthinking mode have you feeling stuck. Maybe everything on the exterior seems ok but you still feel that emptiness inside. You can’t escape that feeling of not being “good enough.” You’re chasing perfection and coming up short. You feel like a slave to everyone’s expectations of you and you don’t want to live like this anymore. Check my website for more info!

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.

I have worked with adults, children and adolescents. I am trained in CBT, Play Therapy, Family Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy. I have been successful In building rapport with adults, adolescents, children and their parents. I am bilingual and speak fluent English and Spanish.

We will accomplish your goals by tapping into learning from the past; living better in the present and creating a healthy future.

You have been trying to help your child for a few months now. You are frustrated, tired and worried. All you want is for your child to feel good about themselves, get along with others and be successful. You have tried sticker charts, time-out, taking things away, talking and reasoning with them. Lately, what usually happens is you lose your patience and then regret yelling at them. You never imagined you would be looking for therapy for your child. Maybe it's the school that has suggested you get help for your child. At this point, you just want a professional to take over because you just don't know what else to do anymore.

Grief, loss, and burnout. We have all experienced it at one point or another in our lifetime.
