I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
I work with adults, young adults and children experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create lasting change.
My mission in therapy is to create a space where clients have the freedom to guide the work towards their goals with a collaborate partner who can assist in the self discovery process. I strive to make therapy feel loving and supportive by providing a place where you can start on the journey to connecting with your inner strength. Self care is important, and therapy is a courageous way to give yourself the care and support you deserve.
Oftentimes the beginning of any new journey can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Taking that first step toward something unknown can bring uncertainty, vulnerability, and discomfort. As your counselor, my goal is to meet you where you are, creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I believe that healing and growth happen through genuine connection and collaboration. Together, we will identify realistic goals that align with your unique needs and values, while working at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding family therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and major life changes. Licensed family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, marriage and family therapy, parenting support, or approaches such as family systems therapy.
Fort Lauderdale has a smaller local pool than larger Florida cities, so virtual appointments can make it easier to find a therapist who fits your family’s needs and schedule. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may involve parents, siblings, couples, or individual family members. It helps to discuss session structure before booking. Review therapist bios for availability, therapeutic approach, free phone consultations, and experience with the concerns most relevant to your family.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, compare detailed bios, check your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can use the directory to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers the appointment format that works for your family.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
