Find Inner Peace and Balance in Your Relationships
Are you seeking deeper connections in your relationships? Do you find it difficult to communicate your needs clearly or break free from unhealthy, recurring patterns?
Relationships are the foundation of life, but when they become unhealthy, they can feel like an endless uphill battle. This is where professional help matters. Whether you’re facing toxic dynamics, poor communication, or struggling to balance your personal and professional life, I’m here to support you with experience, expertise, and compassion.
With my guidance, you will connect with your true, authentic self and discover a healthier version of yourself in your relationships—whether with a romantic partner, family member, or friend—by fostering trust, emotional connection, and deep understanding.
Let’s create relationships that become a source of strength rather than stress, anxiety, and fear. The first step is the most important one in building deeper, fulfilling connections!
Create a Path to Healing in a Safe, Supportive, and Nonjudgmental Space for Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Recovery
Whether it’s PTSD, childhood trauma, or anxiety holding you back from living your best life, I’m here to provide you with the guidance you need to heal and thrive. Life can get overwhelming, especially if you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or trauma.
As an experienced therapist, I understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where you can express and process your deepest emotions. I employ a range of proven modalities and help clients develop practical strategies foster resilience and self-confidence.
Hypnotherapy & Inner Child Work
As a Certified Hypnotherapist, I specialize in employing hypnotherapy to help clients heal unresolved trauma and inner wounds, especially ones from childhood.
Many childhood traumas we carry into adulthood contribute to mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and behavioral, or relationship issues—patterns that can be challenging to break without professional support.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that uses focused attention and deep relaxation to access the subconscious mind. It helps unravel and address the roots of your emotional struggles by releasing suppressed emotions, reshaping limiting beliefs, and gaining more self-awareness and clarity.
Alongside traditional therapeutic techniques like CBT, it enables a better understanding of emotional patterns and drives long-lasting positive relationships with yourself and your loved ones.
Reconnecting with your inner child through hypnotherapy helps:
● Release suppressed emotions.
● Heal past wounds.
● Gain clarity about your emotions and behaviors.
● Break free from harmful behavioral patterns and trauma patterns.
● Become more self-aware, self-confident, and resilient.
My Mission
I’m dedicated to empowering individuals to overcome their struggles and rediscover their authentic selves.
I offer genuine, effective, science-based guidance to help you build a peaceful life, foster fulfilling relationships, and cultivate resilience—all within a judgment-free environment. Services are available—online through our HIPAA-certified platform or in person at our welcoming offices in Fort Lauderdale and Naples.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a safe and distinctive therapeutic approach used by certified hypnotherapists to access the subconscious mind, uncover and address the root causes of emotional challenges.
Once in a focused relaxation state, my clients are in the perfect environment for self-discovery and healing. I guide them in uncovering unresolved experiences and releasing negative thought patterns that may be holding them back.
Hypnotherapy Benefits
Hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion is a therapeutic practice that uses deep and personalized ‘meditation-like’ experiences to help clients enter a hypnotic state of concentration, focus, reduced peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestibility. This state is similar to becoming absorbed in music, a book, thoughts, or meditation.
I will guide you into a deeply relaxed state, turn your attention inward, and tap into your inner resources to achieve behavioral changes or improve pain management and other physical concerns. Eventually, you develop greater awareness and gain better control over your physical and psychological responses.
Hypnotherapy provides profound psychological and emotional benefits, including:
● Deep emotional healing.
● Healthier relationships.
● Enhanced self-awareness.
● Increased self-confidence.
● Greater resilience.
● Improved self-worth.

My Guiding Principles
At the core of Serenity Space Therapy are three guiding principles that shape our approach and ensure a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can safely heal and grow:
CONNECTION
Healing starts when you reconnect to yourself, your emotions, and the aspects of life that are important to you. If you’re dealing with anxiety, feeling out of balance, or navigating strained relationships, it’s time to pause, reflect, and reconnect using professional guidance.
COMPASSION
Life can get overwhelming, and it’s common for our inner critic to become the loudest voice. Together, we’ll work to address your inner critic and empower you to cultivate self-compassion by validating your feelings and embracing your worth through kindness and compassion.
CREATIVITY
We are well aware of each client’s uniqueness and understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. At Serenity Space Therapy, creativity is a core value—we integrate it into every therapeutic process to find the best possible solutions tailored to your needs for a long-lasting positive transformation.
