Grief counselors and therapists in Delray Beach, FL

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my main focus is helping minors and adults address problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, and the unique experiences of those who identify as LGBTQ+.

I also work with couples who are navigating the challenges of polyamory and exploring healthy relationship dynamics.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for clients to explore challenges related to substance use, codependency, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in prioritizing mental health for all persons as s key to happiness and stability. Congratulations in taking the first and hardest step in seeking mental health treatment. I’ve been practicing for 30 years, but in the last decade, I have been focusing both on med management and individual therapy.

My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting you where you are. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating room to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

I have a passion for helping clients understand how their past experiences have shaped the way they think, feel, and respond today. As we begin to recognize these patterns, they often become less overwhelming. Rather than judging the ways you've learned to cope, we'll work toward understanding them with compassion while exploring new ways to meet your needs and navigate life's challenges.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to help you reconnect with the strengths you already have while developing new tools to support your growth. Whether you're working through anxiety, trauma, grief, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you build a deeper connection with yourself, cultivate greater self-compassion, and develop a stronger sense of your own worth. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to who we are.
