Your Trusted Psychotherapy Partner in West Palm Beach
With over 28 years of dedicated practice, I have specialized in providing comprehensive psychotherapy for individuals and couples in West Palm Beach, Florida. My approach centers on psychodynamic therapy, which emphasizes understanding the unconscious patterns that influence emotions and behaviors. Through extensive clinical training, including individual psychoanalysis, academic coursework, and supervised casework, I have developed expertise in addressing complex emotional challenges such as trauma, ADHD, depression, and relationship difficulties.My practice integrates compassion, clinical precision, and a commitment to fostering lasting personal growth. Having served as a court-appointed expert in PTSD cases and as a certified supervisor for mental health interns, I bring both depth and breadth of experience to every therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients can achieve greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and improved emotional well-being.
