I am confident that together we can identify the issues that are troubling you and work together to help you feel better and stronger.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the States of Florida and Texas. I graduated in 2009 from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. I speak English, Spanish and Arabic. I maintain a general practice working mainly with adults. I identify myself as a brief systemic solution oriented therapist. As a professional, I am intensely interested in a lifelong learning and continuing to master the healing arts of therapy. I am curious about people and their stories, their strengths , their struggles and their resources. My strength as a therapist is in being empathetic and intuitively sensitive to my client's needs. My treatment philosophy is that I find each person and each situation different. I believe that people have internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges. I approach my clients with warmth and a non-judgmental style. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their unique qualities and concerns. Together, we discuss goals and needs and develop plans accordingly. I believe in your capacity for change, even when the way through feels uncertain. As you embark on this transformative journey, you'll realize that your struggles do not define you.

Thank you for reaching out! I am a general psychologist and licensed clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience and four years on BetterHelp. I was born and raised in Central New Jersey, enjoying the seasons, playing tennis, and vacationing in Florida. Friends asking for advice led to a career in psychology/social work, which was a good fit. After college and graduate school, I moved to Chicago and, ironically, to South Florida! I am Jewish, married for 31 years, and have three children, ages 26, 23, and 20. My lived experiences in a variety of circumstances allow me to be a very empathetic therapist: Relationships, friendships, spectrum issues, loss, illness, motivation, relational bullying, sociopathy, self-esteem, empowerment/self-strengthening, family issues, career concerns, and sports psychology. At 23, I traded in my tennis racket for figure skates: I have been skating ever since, at the Silver Ladies Freestyle Level, and have tested in Silver Ice Dance and Bronze Pairs. My approach combines guidance and support, motivating others to make life changes as they explore the inner self. Life is full of hills and valleys, and sometimes a steep climb. I provide a different vantage point and insight to begin the journey of change. Each of us is unique, and our therapeutic pathway reflects that individuality. I enjoy helping clients become motivated to make life changes while exploring their inner selves. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem and self-empowerment struggles, goal management, career goals/issues, familial concerns, grief and loss, psychopathy, and manipulative tactics within relationships. I take an eclectic approach and enjoy integrating different treatment modalities into sessions to adhere to the individual needs of the client: Psychodynamic, EMDR (I am EMDR trained), Couples therapy (Gottman Level 1); Systemic, Insight-Oriented, Solution-based, Narrative, Rogerian-Strength-based, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, Vulnerability Cycle Approach, Emotion Focused and Client Focused Therapies, and Cognitive-Behavioral. My specialty is relationships, boundaries, change, organization, and self-control. By helping individuals learn how to respond to others and daily stresses healthily, I help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I take a client-centered approach to assisting clients to gain clarity, perspective, and self-esteem so they can be their best versions. I particularly enjoy working with couples, helping them communicate and reflect on themselves, each other, and their relationship. Men and women often have very different perceptual styles. Understanding these differences and how to approach and embrace these unique aspects helps couples become stronger and more unified. If you do not see a time on the scheduler that accommodates you, it does not mean that I cannot do a specific time for you. I often schedule "by appointment" significantly earlier in the day and on weekends. I also utilize a sincere approach, so if you desire to be lulled into a false sense of security, I am not the therapist for you. Quotes: "Who is afraid of the wolf does not go into the forest."

I have worked with many types of people in my career, but a favorite is helping those struggling with grief. People have come to me after losing a child, a friend, or a parent and even a close long-term romantic partner. Being overwhelmed with conflicting and confusing emotions is common and often they just need to be heard. Your process is unique to you and the last thing you need to hear is, "It's time to move on, stop crying." The goal is to take ownership of your grief, and all that comes with it. Sometimes permission is all that you need to allow whatever happens to happen. You are the director of how you choose to grieve. I specialize in addiction, intersex birth differences, grief, anxiety and trauma. Initially, my style is to work towards building a therapeutic relationship with you, always developing trust in its own time until you are comfortable revealing deeper vulnerability. I believe together, with minds combined, we find better solutions to what seems insurmountable. Since high school many have shared private information with me. I suspect they know just how much I can relate to their experiences. As a flawed human, with much life experience, my strength lies in compassionate understanding. I continue to receive letters of gratitude from decades old clients. I humbly respond, "I lit the candle you did all the work!"

As a former professional athlete and licensed clinical social worker, I bring a unique and empowering perspective to therapy. My background in competitive sports shaped my belief in the power of discipline, inner strength, and resilience, values I now integrate into my clinical work with clients facing life’s most difficult challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and bereavement, trauma, and chronic or terminal illness. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry emotional pain, loss, or fear of the unknown, and I’m here to provide a compassionate and grounded space for healing and self-discovery. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical. I incorporate a combination of Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to help clients better manage distress, build emotional regulation skills, and move toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and how to create realistic, values-driven steps forward. I believe deeply in every person’s capacity for resilience and growth—even in the face of adversity. If you’re ready to begin (or continue) your journey toward healing and personal clarity, I’d be honored to support you. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe space where we can explore your story together and develop meaningful, sustainable strategies for healing and growth. I truly believe in the capacity for resilience within every person, and I’m passionate about helping you uncover yours. If you’re ready to begin or continue your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is not to tell you who to be — it’s to help you better understand your story, strengthen your voice, and feel empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of a private practice, where I have been one of the leading therapists for the past six years. In that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families navigating some of life’s most challenging and transformative moments. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and direct when needed — always grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I specialize in conflict resolution, communication breakdowns, major life transitions, and healing from relational trauma. I also work closely with individuals experiencing high pressure situations, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, offering compassionate support while building practical coping tools. Additionally, I have experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through the end-of-life cycle and the complex grief that can accompany it. As an active professional athlete and former Division I dual-sport collegiate athlete, I also specialize in working with athletes of all levels. I understand the unique pressures of performance, identity loss after injury or transition out of athletics, body image concerns, burnout, PTSD related to injury or loss, and performance anxiety. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience into this work. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply ready to grow, we will work together to help you regain a sense of control, strengthen your resilience, and move toward the life you want to create.
