Imagine health. Imagine happiness. Imagine a new life. It starts here.

I am the founder and managing director of Imagine Psychology Practice. I am a multilingual, doctoral-level, licensed psychologist with over 12 years of experience in individual, couples, and family therapy.

With specialized training in child and adult psychology, I can provide assessments for intelligence and gifted testing and evaluations for immigration and Autism spectrum disorders. I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator, and work as a parenting coordinator for the 19th Judicial Circuit.

Research-based therapy is used to focus on several issues, including special needs children, marital distress, adolescent difficulties, multi-cultural and minorities issues, and high-functioning adults and children who may just need some extra support.

My practice is dedicated to helping people achieve balance in their personal and professional lives by making good choices and gaining practical problem-solving skills.

Divorce is so stressful.

Even in the most civil of relationships, when it comes to splitting up money; time with children; your 20-year-old, broken down lawn furniture; or whatever it is, it can be stressful.
And it can get ugly – and made worse by a long, drawn out, expensive process of litigating in court over every, last item in the house.

Mediation helps resolve potential conflicts during a divorce.

Mediation is a confidential process that gives you, the couple, an opportunity to resolve some, or all, matters involved in your divorce.

A mediator can help resolve disagreements about parenting schedules, child support, alimony, property division, distribution of property, and other family matters. It is the one arena in which the parties can come together to craft the future of their own lives. Don’t let someone else decide your family’s fate. Sometimes it is just not possible to come to an agreement, but it is almost always better to discuss the topics and find a solution together rather than going to court and having it be decided by someone else.That someone does not know you or your family, the ins and outs of your children, and your history.

The mediation process provides a forum in which the parties have the opportunity to openly discuss their positions and their feelings in an attempt to come to a settlement. Mediation allows for agreement without litigation.

Together, we can identify the most important issues and address them one at a time, discuss possible solutions, get creative about solutions, review, revise and prepare the agreement – and even have a Marriage Settlement Agreement by the end.
Another perk is that mediation also tends to be quicker and less expensive than litigation.
