Frequently Asked Questions

---

I specialize in treating adults 18+ years old, who reside in the state of Florida, experiencing symptoms related to trauma and anxiety. This includes GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), OCD (Obsessive-Complusive Disorder), PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder), phobias, stress (life transitions), Post-infidelity Stress Disorder, managing difficult relationships, boundaries and assertiveness, and other anxiety related disorders. 

Some therapists are generalist and some are specialist. Generalist treat many different diagnoses, and tend to, but not always, use talk therapy as their main approach to therapy. On the other hand, specialist focus their practice by diagnosis and/or treatments.  

I am a specialist. While I do talk therapy as well, my training allows me focus on alleviating the specific symptoms of anxiety and trauma. Being a specialist, the approaches I use get right to the core of the issues you may be experiencing. (See WHAT I DO tab)
