Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Delray Beach, 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.

When stress, relationships or just life stir up intense or confusing emotions, it can feel like you’re lost in a storm without a compass. My passion and my specialt is helping adults decode those feelings and steer toward calmer waters. Whether you’re living with a personality disorder, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, I offer evidence-based guidance wrapped in unconditional acceptance.

I came to counseling after a career in retail management, driven by the belief that we can all be healthier and happier than we are today. Emotional attunement and feeling understood are essential for healing; I’m honored to provide both as we work toward the version of you that feels balanced, resilient, and authentically you.
