Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Anaïs NinThe minute a person picks up that phone or sends an email requesting an appointment there is courage realized. Sometimes our world shrinks when we are feeling sad or hurt and it takes courage to break through. It is my sincere belief that we are full of endless possibilities. I also know that reaching out for a guide to help become unstuck is the first step to freeing those possibilities. The human condition and our powerful ability to heal is my passion. I have enjoyed the good fortune of providing psychotherapy as an Army Civilian psychotherapist to U.S Army infantry soldiers and their families while stationed in Baumholder, Germany for three years and then to other military members in the Air Force and Marines as well as the Coast Guard while working as a Military and Family Life Counselor on United States installations across the globe. I understand the military culture and the benefits and challenges inherent in that system. I have worked in another private practice in South Florida for several years and have addressed a myriad of concerns. I worked with homeless youth and adults and other disenfranchised populations. I enjoyed working closely with the LBGT population and clients with chronic illnesses and end of life issues. Once a person(s) sits across from me in the therapy room the process of change begins. You teach me about you and then we will work together.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology at Nova University and my Masters in science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the School of Social and Systemic Studies at Nova Southeastern University. I hold a certification in addiction studies, hypnotherapy and forensic counseling. I am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as well as several other therapeutic skills. I am a certified supervisor for licensure candidates. Whichever skill best suits your need will be provided under the umbrella of Solution Focused Therapy. We will discover and build on your inherent strengths. Hopefully we will find humor, compassion and understanding along the way.I am available to work with all of our diversity and client issues. I feel that I am particularly adept at unlocking trauma; whether it is combat trauma, sexual trauma or any other tough situations in life. I enjoy working with couples and families of all configurat
