Parenting Therapists in Florida

I'm a New York based therapist who helps overwhelmed, high-performing individuals navigate burnout, life transitions, stress, and the pressure to "hold it all together," I take a warm, real, conversational approach that helps clients feel understood, grounded, and actually supported.

I believe that we are all wired for connection and that our relationships deeply shape how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. When connection feels uncertain, unsafe, or threatened, we often develop ways of coping that help us protect ourselves and maintain a sense of safety. While these strategies may have served an important purpose at one time, they can sometimes become patterns that leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled. My work is centered on helping clients explore these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and care. I offer a depth-oriented approach that supports clients in building greater self-awareness, understanding their emotional world, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Together, we create space for healing, integration, and new ways of relating that feel more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible.

With a Master of Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University, I have spent years building a career focused on providing compassionate and effective mental health services. At the core of my practice is the belief that everyone deserves access to support that can make a real difference in their lives. Whether it's guiding students to overcome obstacles to their education or working with families to foster healthier relationships, my goal is always to empower those I work with. My experience spans from school systems where I've supported students' emotional and behavioral needs, to remote therapy sessions that bring healing into the comfort of your own home.

You want to feel whole, connected, and strong, but something is getting in the way. I love working with individuals, couples, parents, and families who are seeking growth and connection. When you are feeling hopeless about your challenges, I am here to reignite your hope and help you find the motivation to try again and succeed. I combine my natural compassion and empathy with researched based methods that work. My approach is practical, simple, powerful, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I am a great listener, and offer clear, achievable advice that will move you forward. In addition to insightful therapy sessions, I will also help you to think about how the fundamentals of physical health, sleep, and diet impact your mental health and relationships. Some of the frameworks I use include: ACT, CBT, DBT, REBT, systems theory, and solution-focused therapy.

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help. I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. You deserve to feel better. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.
