Find A Psychologist in Lauderdale by the Sea, FL.

I have had extensive training as a psychologist. First I obtained a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College and 2 years later returned for my Ph.D. As a psychologist I give great emphasis to the interaction between nature and nurture. I approach therapy from a narrative perspective by encouraging you to understand and tell your story but also encourage you to identify ways in which you are able to overcome your obstacles. I like to place emphasis on your own personal resources and take a holistic approach into healing.

There are masters degree therapists (LMHC, LMSW, LMFT) but few actual DOCTORS of psychology. I graduated magna cum laude from Rollins College with degrees in Philosophy and Psychology. I have a Master's Degree & a Doctorate Degree in Psychology. I have been invited to speak at Harvard Faculty Club multiple times. I am also a trauma certified. I think it is important to understand the different qualifications, so you can make an informed choice regarding your treatment and all available options. I take my job very seriously, and I wanted to make sure I had the highest qualifications to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my clients. I have worked in multiple settings and in a locked Baker Act receiving facility. Please call for a free consult to assess your situation.

Our perceptions dictate our thoughts. Our thoughts tell us how to feel. Sometimes we perceive others or the world in an unrealistically harsh or dangerous manner. Psychotherapy helps us understand how our thoughts have developed over time and how they contribute to our difficulties. During psychotherapy we examine the ways our minds work. We explore certain patterns of irrational thinking that have led to misperceptions in regards to ourselves and others.

I became a psychologist 42 years ago when I earned a PhD from Cornell University, and years later I was trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist at Nova University. My training and experience in psychology has given me priceless insights into human nature and human development. Instead of simply accepting various therapies, I am able to draw on psychology to help me make very important decisions about which therapies are most effective, and why. Still, my practice is largely about relationships rather than individuals in a vacuum.

Psychotherapy does not have to be scary, intimidating or a lifelong process. I have helped hundreds of clients reach their goal using my training as a Brief and Systemic Therapist. My goal is to have you fire me as soon as possible so you can go on with your life and spend more quality time doing the things you enjoy!
