I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, stress, and treatment-resistant mood conditions.
If your child is dealing with big emotions, school stress, conflict at home, or the ups and downs that can come with ADHD, oppositional behaviors, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I enjoy working with tweens, teens, and young adults, and I help families better understand what’s going on so things can feel less overwhelming and more manageable. My goal is to help your child feel more grounded, understood, and hopeful.

You may have learned to navigate spaces where parts of you didn’t feel fully seen or accepted. Over time, those experiences can shape how you see yourself.
What is the story you tell yourself? What messages have you taken in from others—and from the world around you? How have those shaped the way you see yourself?
For many people, these stories are formed in spaces where parts of them felt unseen, misunderstood, or not fully accepted. Over time, this can lead to cycles of self-doubt, shame, or feeling like you have to keep proving your worth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Searching for OCD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with finding someone trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, often called ERP. ERP is a common therapy approach for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or rituals, read therapist bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches that fit your needs.
Fort Lauderdale has a range of mental health care options across Broward County and the broader South Florida area. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, office location, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and check whether their profile describes specific ERP training or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. A free phone consultation can also help you learn how a therapist approaches care before booking a first session.
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 and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who matches your preferences, offers in-person or virtual care, and accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
