My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, aggression, and relationships-family and couples.
I am originally from Chicago and I have called Florida home for over 20 years. I believe that everyone is capable of greatness if they can only get the direction and chance that they need. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step". To me this means that no matter where you have started in life and whatever challenge that you are facing, you are not stuck and you can achieve things that you may not have been able to imagine.

You have been putting off therapy for months, but now you are determined to make your relationship’s better. You've spent the last years trying to keep it together, but you don’t know what went wrong. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re committed, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you have never felt more alone or even enough, and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You're tired of feeling distant from your loved ones and stuck in communication patterns that leave you empty. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

As a therapist, I have been honored to partner with a diversity of clients, facilitate their progress and witness their life-affirming changes.
I work with adults and adolescences of all ages suffering with significant anxiety, depression and other complications. Clients are typically motivated to seek help after disruptive conditions continue or return. Often my clients have difficulty identifying their emotions and have significant frustration with attempts to change. Unconditional support fosters greater self-honesty, self-compassion, further facilitating making peace with our demons. Success at this builds confidence and a more honest, individuated life.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
