Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.
I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.
My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.
I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.
My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.
My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying what you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, coming out, or something else. An affirming provider is one who understands the specific experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals and creates a space where your identity is respected, not questioned. Look for licensed providers (such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty rather than just a general category.
Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County area — including neighborhoods like Wilton Manors and Oakland Park — have a large and established LGBTQIA+ community, which means there are many providers with relevant experience. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty: session format (virtual or in-person), scheduling availability, therapy approach, and whether a provider's background or identity feels like a good match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're someone you'd feel comfortable with.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
