Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Florida & Washington, D.C.
In private practice, I focus on individuals who have experienced trauma and those who struggle to navigate today’s high-pressure, fast-paced environment.
My Therapeutic Approach and Style
I do not believe one therapeutic approach fits all. My therapeutic style is tailored according to your needs, wants, experiences and strengths. It is my role to meet you where you are. As we get to know each other, we will work towards finding the style that feels most comfortable. Think of me as your “guide on the side.” Together, we will uncover inherent strengths, identify maladaptive patterns and acquire new skills that enable you to effectively deal with life’s challenges.
About Therapy
Therapy is a very dynamic and collaborative process. As such, the outcome of your treatment will depend on your willingness to engage in the process, and your receptiveness to change. It is not uncommon to resist change, but it is common to feel worse before you feel better, especially as we process difficult subjects. This may tempt you to prematurely stop treatment. If you are feeling this way, please bring it to my attention so that we can find a solution together.
The length of your treatment can vary depending on the severity of difficulties you present. We will constantly assess and adjust the length of your treatment based on your pace, progress and identified goals. Many people enter into therapy with a hope for immediate relief and results, but unfortunately, there aren’t any quick “fixes or cures.”
A successful therapy experience does not mean a client has been “fixed” or “cured.” I do not like this language because it implies that someone is broken or sick, when they absolutely are not. The efficacy of therapy is not always measured in metrics or something tangible. Together, we will determine what successful therapy looks like to you.
I provide individual therapy for traumas related to:
Suicide
Self-Injurious Behaviors
Depression
Sexual Abuse
Domestic Violence
Anxiety
Rape
Major Life Adjustments
My Virtual Office, Forms of Payment and Rates
I no longer offer in-person appointments. I am 100% virtual. For telehealth appointments, we will use a HIPAA complaint interface called “Simple Practice.” It does not cost you anything to download or use. Unfortunately, I am private pay only. I do not accept insurance, but I can provide you with the documentation for insurance reimbursement. My standard rate for a 50-minute session is $180. I accept most major credit cards (except for Amex) and most forms of electronic payment such as Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Square. Payment is due in full at the time of appointment.
