Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

As a licensed mental health counselor and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I pride myself in having a warm, down-to-earth style that puts children at ease and allows me to enter their world and get a better understanding of their challenges and needs. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I have over 25 years of experience working with children with special needs. I specialize in evaluations for Gifted, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disabilities & Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

I’m a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in behavioral health leadership. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I blend clinical expertise with a whole‐person perspective, helping you understand what you’re experiencing and what can help. My years in behavioral health shaped my commitment to trauma‐informed, culturally responsive care. I aim to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and able to explore what’s getting in the way of feeling like yourself again.

My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that meaningful healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. My approach to therapy is genuine, compassionate, and down-to-earth, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgement or pressure.

I provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and confidential space where you can express yourself freely. My priority is to create an environment where you feel heard, valued, and respected. I believe therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” I tailor my approach based on your unique needs, experiences, and goals, using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Strategies.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will walk alongside you. I empower you to set the pace, make decisions, and discover solutions that work best for you. While we address challenges, I also highlight your resilience, strengths, and personal growth, helping you recognize the progress you are making along the way.

I understand that life can be overwhelming, and I will never expect perfection from you. I approach my work with authenticity, empathy, and a sense of humor when appropriate because I believe healing happens best when we can be real.

There is no "right way" to heal, and setbacks are part of growth. I am here to support you in moments of triumph as well as struggle, without pressure or unrealistic expectations. If something isn't working for you, we can adjust. Your comfort and trust in this process matter, and I encourage open communication to ensure therapy is effective and meaningful for you.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create a life that aligns with your values and well-being. You are not alone, and I am honored to be part of your journey.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who shows up with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. Think of me as the therapist who feels human, someone who listens deeply, honors your story, and helps you make sense of patterns that no longer serve you. As a Caribbean-American woman, I also understand the unspoken cultural layers that often shape how we cope, communicate, and carry our experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

I am a collaborative and interactive therapist that utilizes a variety of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, EFT, and solution-focused techniques based on the individual client, their wants, needs and goals.

My areas of expertise are family, social and interpersonal conflict, parenting, depression, anxiety, sexual identity concerns, academic challenges, anger issues, low self-confidence, esteem and past traumatic experiences. Other areas of expertise include intimate partner violence, LGBTQ, women's issues, grief, romantic relationship issues and stress.

Whether this is your first time experience with therapy or you’re returning after some time away, my goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your story at your own pace. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

Life can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate the path to healing alone. As a United States Air Force veteran, a mother of two, and a dedicated Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I bring a unique blend of structured resilience, deep empathy, and specialized clinical expertise to our sessions. I understand firsthand the complexities of high-stress environments, life transitions, and the daily balancing act of family life. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
