Find a Therapist in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.

I am honored to work with individuals and couples from many different walks of life. My approach is rooted in respect, authenticity, and collaboration — always holding you as the expert in your own story. In our work together, I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely affirming, where you can explore challenges honestly and move toward healing, growth, and deeper connection.

Psychotherapy or "talk therapy" is a therapy that works by helping individuals express their concerns or difficulties and working with them on finding ways to cope with their current stressors. Therapy sessions can be conducted individually or in a group. Research has shown that most people that receive consistent psychotherapy with trained clinicians show a decrease in their current symptoms and an increase in their quality of life.

When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently.

At KML, we believe that everyone is different. We are here to help connect you with a therapist/psychologist that is uniquely attuned to you and your needs. We have experts that are talk-based, while others are be highly skills-based (with board-certified Linehan DBT clinicians and CBT-insomnia program offering). Some are trained in EMDR, ART, and other trauma-informed methods. We also are certified in the safe and sound protocol, have access to virtual reality methods, offer cognitive remediation/executive function coaching and psychological testing. Ultimately, we are here to help you get what you need and to rework underlying negative core beliefs! You matter and you ARE good enough!

We approach the treatment of mental Illness by encouraging the exploration of unresolved and deeply rooted conflicts, often of an unconscious that may lead the person to behave in rigid and self-defeating ways, by questioning the veracity and effectiveness of distorted ways of thinking and perceiving the world and by empowering the person to modify behaviors that perpetuate psychopathology and emotional disturbance. We also include life-coaching techniques to help people set attainable goals based on personal values, abilities and interests.

Psychotherapy is a combination of two words: "psycho" referring to mind and "therapy" involving a process of treatment intended to relieve or heal a problematic issue. Mind is interconnected with emotions, spirit, body, relationships, or performances. Debilitating issues of the mind can result in mood disturbances, behavioral, social, educational, somatic and relational problems. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying underlining issues of mind, then assist with deconstructing the problem or exploring meanings to achieve desired goals for relief, resolution, or healing.

I use many different techniques to help you discover the very best ways to solve your problems, including Brief Therapy, NLP, MRI, Attachment, REBT, CBT, and, if you wish, Hypnotherapy. I believe that nearly every approach has value. Whatever your problem is, it is unlikely that it is truly one-dimensional. I am focused on results and I believe that you can achieve them with my help.

Whether you’re struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, or other life challenges, Psychotherapy can help you feel better. Just like in traditional in-person therapy, I listen to your concerns with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Together we determine the best course of treatment so you can achieve your goals. Learning and becoming more self aware will help you navigate life's hurdles in the future. Psychotherapy helps us understand ourselves better and how to break cycles that have been around for generations. Psychotherapy can help you learn positive and healthy coping skills.

Psychotherapy offers a space for meaningful reflection, growth, and emotional support, and my approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. I work with clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while exploring how life experiences and current stressors may be influencing their well-being. Sessions are paced to each person’s comfort level and focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and fostering emotional balance. Through a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, clients can gain clarity, develop healthier patterns, and create positive, lasting changes that support overall mental and emotional wellness.

I am very client-centered when it comes to psychotherapy, but that does not mean my only theoretical approach is client-centered psychotherapy. Despite my many approaches to psychotherapy, you, as the client, take center stage in every therapy session. I want whatever happens in therapy to be a unique fit for you and your therapy needs. I consider the client-therapist relationship to be very important in our work together. With trust, we can build a stronger foundation for positive changes to settle.

Psychotherapy or counseling can be brief and focused on a particular issue. Sometimes it can take the form of Life Coaching, focusing on creating and reaching goals and helping you to gain clarity and make better decisions. It can also be a vehicle for helping someone to examine his life more fully and gain a better understanding of what drives or motivates him.

First and foremost, you must feel that your doctor understands you, gets you. Then finding out exactly what you need and want I will choose the techniques that will get you there the fastest, the best current methodology available. Psychotherapy is helping you live life , becoming free of fear and uncertainty, and having love and joy instead. Learning to be present and mindful will stop the endless hours of worry and stress. One must not "look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness".

Psychotherapy is a journey into yourself. It is a treat to take time, slow down and understand yourself. We all have a story. The story we have written about ourselves defines who we are . In psychotherapy I help people see and understand the story they tell themselves. The problem is that the story we tell ourselves can be filled with obstacles, negativity, and darkness. I can help you rewrite your story so that you can find resources to overcome those obstacles, light in the dark places, and ultimatly a less burdensome way into the future.
