In my practice, I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. I create a safe and non judgmental environment through which we will work to reach your goals. I specialize in treating emotional trauma such as childhood abuse and sexual assault. However, I also help clients resolve issues related to depression, anxiety, phobias, stress, relationship conflicts and parenting.

       I have had extensive training and experience in the field of trauma resolution and can assist clients to overcome fears and strong emotional experiences associated with traumatic memories. I also help clients to cope with the stresses of divorce, separation, and blended families. I facilitate change in couple interactions for couples in crisis to resolve conflicts and improve communication. I also assist parents with children and adolescents who are exhibiting behavior problems such as defiance, anger, inappropriate sexual behaviors (children 11 and under) and eating disorders. Currently, I facilitate a group for adults who were sexually abused as children. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), parts 1 and 2.

       I graduated from the University of Miami with a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology and a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have 5 years experience working at rape crisis centers in both Miami and Tampa. I currently run substance abuse, parenting and life skills groups for Psychological Management Group (PMG) in Tampa.

       I am unable to bill insurance for services at this time. Clients are seen for an affordable sliding scale fee based on income. Please check back periodically for new information regarding insurance. Schedule of fees.
