I believe that therapy is a journey that first begins with the courage to heal. Therapy should be a safe place to heal, discover, grow, and find moments of selah--which means to pause and reflect. The following quote sums up what I believe the healing process looks like: “Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep” (Carl Sandburg).

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through life’s most challenging seasons. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health and addiction treatment, with a focus on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and judgment-free. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and build healthier tools to manage life with more confidence and stability.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

Sometimes it’s not just one thing... it’s everything. Overwhelming. Exhausting. Life just feels off, and you’re not quite yourself. And in the middle of this, it’s easy to feel lost. But what if this hard season... is actually your way back to you? The version of you who feels grounded, focused, and able to enjoy life again. Divorce. Job loss. Empty nest. Relocation. Anxious. Depressed. It can feel like everything is falling apart, but it can also be where something new begins. I help women through life’s toughest transitions with compassion, and real tools. You don’t have to do this alone. Evening & weekend sessions available.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Finding family therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and major life changes. Licensed family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, marriage and family therapy, parenting support, or approaches such as family systems therapy.

Fort Lauderdale has a smaller local pool than larger Florida cities, so virtual appointments can make it easier to find a therapist who fits your family’s needs and schedule. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may involve parents, siblings, couples, or individual family members. It helps to discuss session structure before booking. Review therapist bios for availability, therapeutic approach, free phone consultations, and experience with the concerns most relevant to your family.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, compare detailed bios, check your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can use the directory to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers the appointment format that works for your family.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
