Interpersonal Therapists in Boca Raton, FL

If you are seeking to understand yourself and why you are experiencing short or long-term emotional, mental, interpersonal distress (i.e., family, relationships, work), my goal is to help you. Today more than, all ages need help in coping as the world has changed, disrupting our daily lives, and requiring new strategies and skills to handle all the external and internal stressors.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist who has successfully aided a wide spectrum of people from preteens to adults. The emphasis of my work is in the area of perinatal, adjustment challenges, and anxiety.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties or other challenges? Uncovering and working through the root of these issues is the key to sustained happiness. We live in a five dimensional world. That's right I said five. I’m talking about the additional dimensions of the self and our relationships. Within each of these dimensions, there is boundless depth that we are mostly unaware of. As we go through life, we barely skim the surface of our experience. So long as we navigate the world in 3D, we miss out on the richness and fullness that our lives could be.

Potentially, each one of us carries out a wounded child, stuck in a traumatic childhood experience that negatively affects the current intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning. If this is your case, I fully believe that we can work together

Vulnerability is hard. The 'easier' choice is just not to talk about it. 'If I just don't think about it, I will be fine.' Sound familiar? It's a common coping strategy.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I believe that change occurs within the individual through understanding and awareness of the issue. By viewing the therapist as a warm, accepting participant, one can develop trust and allow the process of self-exploration to begin. Throughout the process of psychotherapy, the patient can learn about the parts of themselves that remain hidden and out of their awareness. More specifically, aspects of themselves that contribute to their difficulties and prevent personal growth.
