Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida, with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. I spent many years working in both outpatient and inpatient settings and am currently working in Private Practice. I have worked with diverse clientele on such issues as: depression, anxiety, anger, grief/loss, life transitions, parenting, family and relationship concerns, trauma, addictions, identity and self-esteem, emotional impact of chronic illness, and issues specific to military and military families.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a Client-Centered framework. That means that this is your therapeutic process, not mine. It is my professional and ethical responsibility to meet you where you are in your process and help you get where you want to be, as you see it, by utilizing the appropriate therapeutic modalities. I wholeheartedly believe that trust and honesty are the primary foundation for a comfortable and effective therapeutic relationship. I will regularly ask that you check in with how you are feeling about the direction and effectiveness of our work together.
Seeking help in a time of crisis or transition is often the hardest part of the process. Congratulations! You have already taken that first step! I look forward to walking this journey alongside of you!

Chani has a deep understanding of emotional turmoil a person goes through divorcing a narcissist. She manages to always frame things in a way that really helps you understand your behavior and that of the other person and how to put things
In perspective,
Chani has helped me through one of the most difficult times in my entire life in a short period of time. She has a great “style” of coaching and explaining, along with listening.

A blessing that I'm very grateful to have a live human to touch base with, connect with, in tears to my mental health. It's been a great leap for me to begin sessions, never had mental health counseling in the past, and this method with Chani I trust after my first three, weekly sessions. Grateful 🙏🏽

Chani has been a great therapist to work with. She’s thoughtful, attentive, and creates a safe space to explore things honestly. I’ve appreciated her balanced perspective and the way she asks insightful questions without being pushy. She’s supportive while still encouraging growth, and I’m grateful for the guidance she’s provided.

Chani is incredible. Her connection, observations, and attention is so intentional and intuitive. She really listens and is able to use vocabulary that makes sense me and resonates so deeply. I often feel as though I am speaking with a more experienced/ wise version of myself - the way she is able to connect to me. It feels cosmic and divine that we were connected by BetterHelp - many times Chani has offered support / advice / thoughts using the exact same sentences I have spoken or thought in the previous days & weeks (without ever mentioning it to her!) I look forward to many more sessions and digging deeper with her!

Chani is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. She is so good at identifying the root to my problems and because of that I feel like I’ve been making a lot of progress.

Always listens to me intently and points out the things I can’t see myself. Offers ways to improve and things to work on so I can see my growth
Written on Feb 02, 2022 after therapy with Chani for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and career difficulties
Chani has been great so far. I have been to a few therapist in my lifetime and one of the main characteristics that really stands out to me is how she truly listens and pays attention. I feel like sometimes therapists can be quick to speak and solve before they ask the right questions to fully understand. Chani is fantastic at asking the right questions and understanding. She is very intelligent and I really resonate with the approaches she has given me so far when it comes to my tasks & tools throughout the week between our sessions. She has been there for me outside of our video sessions through my journal entries and our text thread, which has been very much appreciated, and allowed me to feel not as alone in my healing process. In just a few sessions, she has helped me have an understanding, acceptance, and almost a permission to go and grow through what I am going through.

Chani is wonderful. She’s very clear and allows me to be task-oriented in our therapy. She’s kind without simply telling me what I wanna hear. All in all, she achieves amazing balance in her work. I couldn’t recommend Chani enough
