Challenges & Focus Areas

Services

  • As a therapist, I specialize in individual therapy, offering support across various life stages with an approach that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

  • I provide online therapy sessions to individuals who reside in Florida and Georgia. Therapy is delivered through a secure, virtual platform.

  • For children, I provide a nurturing space where they can express themselves and navigate the challenges of growing up through play. Play is a natural way for children to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, and it provides a safe and supportive space for them to express themselves. I use various play materials such as toys, games, art, and activities to engage the child in the therapeutic process.

  • With adolescents, I foster a supportive environment to address the complexities of adolescence, promoting self-discovery and resilience.

  • For adults, my therapy is centered on cultivating growth and balance, helping individuals navigate life transitions, manage stress, and enhance overall well-being.

My Approach

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy—a powerful, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of trauma.

    EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements, to activate the brain’s natural healing process. This allows traumatic memories to be reprocessed and stored in a healthier way, reducing emotional distress and fostering resilience.

    EMDR is highly effective for individuals struggling with:
    ✔ Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
    ✔ Anxiety & Panic Attacks
    ✔ Childhood Trauma
    ✔ Grief & Loss
    ✔ Phobias & Fears
    ✔ Depression Linked to Trauma

    Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR targets the root of emotional distress quickly and effectively, often leading to profound relief in fewer sessions. With a structured, guided approach, this therapy helps individuals integrate past experiences in a way that promotes healing, growth, and emotional stability.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand and change the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Rooted in the belief that our perceptions shape our experiences, CBT empowers individuals to identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns, leading to healthier behaviors and emotional well-being.

    CBT is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with:
    ✔ Anxiety & Panic Disorders
    ✔ Depression & Mood Disorders
    ✔ Stress & Burnout
    ✔ Self-Esteem & Confidence Issues
    ✔ Obsessive-Compulsive Thoughts & Behaviors
    ✔ Phobias & Fear-Based Thinking

    Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBT is structured, solution-focused, and goal-oriented—providing practical tools and coping strategies that you can apply in daily life. Through a collaborative approach, you and your therapist will work together to develop effective problem-solving skills, healthier thinking patterns, and long-term emotional resilience.

  • Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is a specialized, evidence-based therapy designed to support young children (ages 0-5) and their caregivers who have experienced trauma, adversity, or disruptions in their relationship. Rooted in attachment theory, CPP focuses on strengthening the parent-child bond as a key factor in fostering emotional security, resilience, and long-term well-being.

    How CPP Helps

    ✔ Healing from Trauma – Helps young children and caregivers process and recover from difficult experiences.
    ✔ Strengthening Parent-Child Relationships – Builds trust, security, and emotional connection.
    ✔ Improving Emotional & Behavioral Regulation – Supports children in managing big emotions and behaviors.
    ✔ Restoring a Sense of Safety – Creates a nurturing, supportive environment for healing.

    Through a collaborative and play-based approach, the therapist works closely with both the child and caregiver to understand and address how trauma has impacted the family system. Sessions provide practical tools to help caregivers respond to their child’s needs with greater confidence, sensitivity, and emotional attunement.

    If you and your child have faced adversity, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Schedule a CPP session today to begin a journey of healing, connection, and resilience.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach designed to help children and adolescents process and heal from traumatic experiences. By integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-focused interventions, TF-CBT provides a structured, supportive, and collaborativeframework for recovery.

    How TF-CBT Helps:

    ✔ Reduces Trauma-Related Anxiety, Fear, & Stress
    ✔ Improves Emotional Regulation & Coping Skills
    ✔ Strengthens Parent-Child Relationships
    ✔ Addresses Negative Thoughts & Behavioral Challenges
    ✔ Restores a Sense of Safety & Control

    TF-CBT focuses on the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive effects of trauma, ensuring that both the child and caregiver receive the tools and support needed for healing. Therapy involves close collaboration between the child, their family, and the therapist, fostering a sense of security, trust, and empowerment throughout the process.

    Through age-appropriate strategies, coping skills, and trauma processing techniques, TF-CBT helps children develop resilience and confidence, while also equipping caregivers with the skills to provide ongoing support.

    If your child has experienced trauma, they don’t have to navigate it alone.
