Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR-trained therapist, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with over 30 years of experience. I earned a BA in Psychology from Syracuse University and an MSW from Adelphi University, and later completed my Health Coach Certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to support a more holistic, mind-body approach to healing. I have worked in both private practice and leading treatment centers, including as a Primary Therapist and later co-owner of Lifeskills of South Florida, where she developed specialized programs such as the Eating Wellness track. I led trauma and emotional eating groups across multiple South Florida facilities. I specializes in helping adults facing challenges with: Anxiety Depression Emotional Eating Substance Abuse & Early Recovery LGBTQIA+ Issues Self-Esteem Stress Grief & Loss My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in human connection. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space rooted in empathy, curiosity, and deep respect, where clients feel truly seen and heard as they explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using an eclectic mix of evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual, I help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. Clients often say they feel instantly at ease with me and appreciate my balance of compassion and honest reflection. My goal is to help clients cultivate inner peace and the confidence to create meaningful, lasting change.
