I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Boca Raton, Florida.
After obtaining a psychology degree and a certificate in substance abuse studies, I continued to follow my passion and pursued both, a master’s and doctorate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I am currently a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and the founder of Palm Beach Therapy Center, LLC. In addition to my clinical work, I am also a Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida, where I am able to help other therapists obtain professional growth within the field of mental health.
I am trained in systemic theory and utilize a highly effective and evidence-based solution oriented approach in therapy. I also practice brief therapy, which helps you get to your goals in fewer sessions than traditional psychoanalytic therapy.
Over the past 12 years, I have worked with a wide variety of clients, including: individuals (all ages), couples, and families. As a clinician, I am focused, patient, empathetic, and goal oriented when working with clients. I have been featured on several media platforms such as CNN News, Voyage MIA Magazine, Canvas Rebel Magazine, and Modern Boca Mom. I have worked with several high profile clients, including local celebrities as well as professional athletes, and was the recipient of the “Best of Boca” Award for psychotherapy for the last 6 years.
In our work together, your needs will always be my priority. In therapy, I meet my clients at their level of comfort and challenge them in various ways in order to achieve their most desirable goals. In fact, my goal is to help my clients succeed in accomplishing their goals.
My level of education, experience, and training allows me to have a deeper understanding of different issues and disruptive patterns. In recent years, I obtained advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy, advanced perinatal mental health training from Postpartum Support International (PSI), and advanced hypnosis training approved by The Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling. I am also a certified EMDR therapist, which allows me to help my clients work through past trauma by processing difficult life experiences and allowing them to discover their path to healing. I utilize mindfulness in session as well as these evidence-based models to help my clients succeed in creating a life that provides them with meaning, happiness and fulfillment.
Before beginning my private practice, I worked at the Renfrew Center for eating disorders. During this time, I conducted and presented valuable research within this population. I also provided individual and group therapeutic services to adults and adolescents struggling with eating disorders as well as various addictions and personality disorders in a systemic manner.
During my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. I love being in nature and experiencing new things-whether it’s a new place, new food, or even a new conversation. I view myself as a very open, genuine, and compassionate individual; and I will always be committed to your success.
