—
I’m a clinical psychologist in private practice, licensed in Florida and New York. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology with a concentration in psychodynamic psychotherapy from Nova Southeastern University, specializing in the treatment of trauma and dissociation, narcissistic and borderline personality disorders, and relationship difficulties.
My clinical background includes extensive work with individuals facing complex psychological challenges across outpatient and inpatient settings — including private practice, community mental health centers, and training at Jackson Health System/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
I have worked with high-performers and high-profile individuals around the world, including professional athletes in the NFL and NBA, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other leaders to enhance performance and support overall well-being.
Having lived in Miami, New York City, Austria, and Portugal, I bring a global and multicultural perspective. Prior to my career in psychology, I competed internationally and collegiately as an athlete, which gives me firsthand understanding of the demands faced by high-performance individuals across various areas of life.
In addition to my clinical work in private practice, I’m available internationally for high-performance coaching and consulting for individuals, teams and organizations. You can learn more about my 1:1 coaching and consulting offers here.
About Me
My Philosophy
Derived from the two ancient Greek words psyche (“spirit” or “soul”) and therapeia (“healing”), psychotherapy is literally defined as “healing of the soul.” Trauma, loss, and other difficult experiences can cause us to lose touch with our innermost selves, leading to suffering, feelings of isolation and disconnection. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, relationship problems, and lack of purpose often result from difficulty knowing and understanding ourselves and the dynamics of our unconscious.
My approach to therapy is relational psychoanalytic and founded on the premise that healing occurs within the context of a safe and consistent relationship that allows for the exploration and expression of your true self. The therapeutic process offers the opportunity to become more truthful with ourselves and others, and to gain a better understanding of the repetitive thoughts, feelings, and patterns that prevent us from living a healthier and more fulfilled life.
My hope is to help facilitate the experience of creative self-discovery, to help you be and become more fully alive, and more fully yourself. I believe that you have innate knowledge that makes you your own greatest teacher, and combine my clinical training with my intuitive abilities to help you reconnect with the most authentic parts of you that have become lost or buried over time.
While my practice emphasizes trauma, relationship issues, and personal growth, I work with individuals navigating a range of concerns. These include: borderline and narcissistic personality styles, anxiety, depression, divorce, life transitions, and men’s issues. My approach remains the same regardless of the presenting problem: insight-oriented work and a commitment to creating long-lasting transformation.
