Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in West Palm Beach, FL

About My Clients

I help women who are struggling with the negative effects of childhood trauma, relational abuse, and women's issues. Women who struggle to say "NO" and feel like they are "being mean" when they cannot meet everyone's needs. My professional commitment lies in providing compassionate support to women over the age of 18 who are grappling with painful experiences. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care with compassion and understanding.

My Background and Approach

Women grapple with a unique set of psychological stressors that can significantly affect their mental and emotional health. These challenges can stem from societal expectations, gender inequality, reproductive health issues, body image concerns, or the pressure to balance professional and personal responsibilities. I utilize direct and solution-focused types of therapy that will help you gain the tools necessary to address the deep-rooted issues and bring a sense of empowerment and focus to your life. One method I use is EMDR. During EMDR, my clients focus on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements. The goal is to reduce the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. This allows your brain to resume a natural healing process making room for a more stress-free life. You'll be able to gain resilience and know how to face life's challenges without fear and setbacks.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Your experience in therapy with me will be defined by a deep sense of connectivity, a unifying force that fosters healing and growth. This bond, delicate yet powerful, will serve as the groundwork for our therapeutic journey together. You'll be not just a client, but a valuable partner in the therapeutic process. The environment I create is one of safety and respect; a sanctum that will both challenge and nurture you, where confidentiality is preserved, and your concerns hold top priority. Furthermore, empathy is the cornerstone of my practice. In every session, I endeavor to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences from your perspective, without judgment or bias. This heightened understanding allows me to be life's silent companion on your journey, offering guidance and helping you navigate your thoughts and feelings. I believe everyone deserves respect and a safe environment to help foster growth and healing. I am a staunch ally for the LGBTQIA+ community and women.
