If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or the emotional demands of parenthood, you're not alone. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating life transitions, maternal mental health concerns, stress, grief, family conflict, substance use concerns, and PTSD. Whether you're struggling to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, or heal from past experiences, therapy can provide a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and believe healing begins in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful change while building resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.

I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Finding the right postpartum therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum mental health concerns can include depression, anxiety, mood changes, difficulty bonding, or intrusive thoughts — and a provider who specializes in perinatal mental health care will be familiar with all of these. Look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT) or psychiatrist with experience in prenatal and postpartum care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they feel like the right match.

Practical factors matter too, especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider whether you prefer virtual sessions you can attend from home or in-person appointments in the Fort Lauderdale or greater Broward County area. Availability and scheduling flexibility can make a real difference — look for providers who have open appointment times that fit your routine.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
