Personal Information

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Florida who is passionate about providing high quality psychotherapy. I have 10 years of experience in clinical psychology providing psychotherapy, counseling, psychological assessment, consultation, supervision, and training. Prior to opening my online private practice, I was the Director of a hospital Psychology Department for 5 years. While more recently I have provided psychotherapy to professionals, entrepreneurs, and even celebrities, I got my start serving clients experiencing homelessness. I consider it a privilege to support everyone along the continuum of life circumstances with the changes they seek.

Specialties & Issues

I specialize in serving women who have high demands set upon them (such as professional women or entrepreneurial women) with issues like stress, burnout, and anxiety. I help my clients move towards and maintain work/life balance, improve self-esteem and confidence, and bring their ideal selves to professional and personal relationships. Through online psychotherapy, I work with my clients to apply strategies informed by psychological research to address roadblocks in the way of achieving one’s life goals. It is an honor to support clients as they work through aspects of their lives that they want to change.

Approach

My integrative style of psychotherapy incorporates person centered, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. The first full appointment after the free consult is considered an intake  appointment and it tends to feel more like the client is being interviewed than the more collaborative feel that future therapy sessions will have. The intake appointment allows us both to be clear on the issues the client wishes to address in therapy and, if applicable, to establish any mental health diagnoses. My approach is to initially offer strategies that could bring some beginning relief to the struggles identified during the intake appointment. As we build upon the therapeutic relationship, we can then go deeper and explore underlying causes contributing to the concerns that bring my clients to therapy.  

Insurance

I do not accept insurance.
