Who I Often Work With
My practice is intentionally focused. I work best with individuals who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready to do meaningful work — even if they feel overwhelmed right now.
High-Achieving Professionals
Many of my clients are successful on paper.
They are executives, attorneys, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, business owners, or leaders in their field. They manage teams, families, and responsibilities with competence — yet privately struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or burnout.
They are used to performing. Therapy becomes the one place they do not have to.
Individuals Who Appear “Fine” — But Don’t Feel That Way
Many of my clients are not in visible crisis.
They are functioning.
They are responsible.
They are showing up.
But they are tired of living in constant internal tension.
Individuals With Intrusive Thoughts & OCD
Many of my clients have spent years silently battling intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, and shame.
They are intelligent and rational — which makes the experience even more confusing. They often tell me, “I know this doesn’t make sense, but it feels real.”
Our work is structured, evidence-based, and deeply compassionate. OCD loses power when it is understood and treated correctly.
Clients Questioning Their Relationship With Alcohol or Substances
Not everyone who struggles with substance use fits a stereotype.
Often, it’s the high-functioning professional who pours a drink to “turn off” anxiety. Or the person who looks composed in public but relies on something privately to cope.
My approach is direct yet nonjudgmental. We examine the role and patterns that substances have played in your life while honestly. We will address underlying anxiety, depression or trauma while building sustainable coping strategies that support long term stability.
Recovery is not a one-size-fits all. It requires clarity, accountability and compassion - all witin a space that feels steady and discreet.
College Students & Young Adults Navigating Transition
I work with college students and young adults managing academic pressure, identity development, independence, and uncertainty about the future.
This stage of life can look exciting from the outside while feeling destabilizing internally. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depression, and substance use often intensify during periods of transition. Therapy provides a grounded, confidential space to develop emotional regulation skills, resilience, and clarity during a pivotal time.
Women Navigating Pressure & Invisible Load
I work with women who carry a quiet intensity.
They are balancing careers, parenting, expectations, and internal standards that are nearly impossible to meet. From the outside, they appear capable and composed. Inside, they may feel chronically tense, self-critical, or emotionally depleted.
We work to untangle the pressure and create space for something steadier and more sustainable.
Adolescents & Young Adults Under Pressure
I also work with teens and young adults navigating academic stress, identity development, social anxiety, and family expectations.
These clients are often bright, sensitive, and overwhelmed by the pace of modern life. Therapy provides a contained, stabilizing space to build resilience and confidence.
Individuals Struggling With Substance Use
Substance use rarely begins as a problem — it begins as a solution.
Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who rely on alcohol or other substances to manage anxiety, stress, or emotional discomfort. Over time, the coping strategy starts to create its own consequences
With extensive experience in adolescent and adult treatment programs, I approach substance use with both clinical depth and compassion. Our work focuses on understanding the function of the behavior, reducing shame, and building healthier, sustainable ways to cope.
Whether you are questioning your relationship with alcohol or navigating more established patterns of use, therapy offers a structured and nonjudgmental path forward.
If you are looking for thoughtful, individualized therapy in Boca Raton or throughout Florida — and you value depth, privacy, and evidence-based care — my practice may be a good fit.
