Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Boca Raton, FL

A therapist passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults navigate the challenges of growing up in a complex world. My approach is warm, patient, and collaborative, I believe that building genuine trust is the foundation of meaningful change.

In my work with young people, I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where they can express themselves freely and feel understood. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, family stress, or identity concerns, I meet each client where they are with empathy and respect. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques to help clients understand their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence in themselves.

When working with children and teens, I also value partnering with parents and caregivers, helping families strengthen communication, connection, and understanding. My goal is to empower each young person to recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and develop the tools they need to thrive—both now and in the future.

Clients often describe me as calm, relatable, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation that sparks growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

If you or your child are struggling to manage big emotions, adjust to life changes, or find a sense of direction, I’m here to help you take the next step toward healing and balance.

Finding the right psychiatric provider is about more than credentials. You want someone who will listen, take your concerns seriously, and help you understand what is going on without making you feel rushed or judged.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep concerns, stress, and life transitions. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish.

My approach is simple: I want to understand your story, not just your symptoms. I take time to explain your options, answer your questions, and include you in decisions about your care. One of the compliments I value most is, “You actually listened.” That is the kind of experience I want every patient and family to have.

Great to meet you!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to provide a serene, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe being yourself.

As a Certified CBT Clinician (CBT-C), I specialize in helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, understand how their thoughts impact their emotions and behaviors, and develop practical skills that support lasting change.

As a former Division I collegiate athlete, I also understand the unique pressures associated with athletics and performance. I enjoy supporting athletes and high-performing individuals experiencing performance anxiety, confidence concerns, stress, perfectionism, and the pressure to succeed.

For clients who desire it, I offer Christian counseling that integrates faith, biblical principles, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Faith integration is always based on each client’s preference and comfort level.
