Hello! Welcome
I have been around since Fred Flinstone, (not really) but I am active and very committed to helping people meet their personal goals. I have been a clinical supervisor for years so hopefully, I do have some expertise!
Fortunately, there have been many positive comments and outcomes with my work. This is highly satisfactory. Many years ago, my career in sales was successful but I chose to change fields to assist those

Green Lake, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I am a relational therapist who works to break cycles of conflict and create relationships that feel effective and fulfilling. I bring a fluid and responsive approach, meeting clients with empathy while challenging them to dig deeper, embrace accountability, and take meaningful steps toward growth.
In sessions, I help clients uncover patterns, identify blocks, self-illusion, and connect with the underlying emotions driving their struggles. I move beyond surface-level validation, guiding clients to reframe challenges and shift their perspectives. I believe in addressing what’s present and meaningful—not dwelling on blame or the past, but focusing on solutions that are effective and tailored to you.
My approach is direct yet compassionate. I help clients explore what their reactions and interactions reveal about their needs, offering tools to build insight and strengthen connection. While I encourage clients to lean into discomfort as part of the process, I also ensure they feel guided and empowered to face challenges.
Whether it’s improving communication, addressing conflict, or building trust, I guide clients to stop cycling through the same issues and start building the relationships they want. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck, I’ll partner with you to create lasting change through honest, meaningful work.

Life does not always go according to plan and it sure can be messy sometimes. It is nice when you can be expressive and heard as you share your messiness. My name is Trish, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am here to support you and encourage you through the 'messy'. I have been in the field for over 25 years guiding, supporting, and cheering on clients, couples, and families as they make way for change. My background is serving pediatrics to geriatrics. I have a passion for working with healthcare workers, Veterans of all ages, as well as first responders, and active military. As a mother of 5 children, I have both professional and personal knowledge of child development, family systems, and the complexity of family dynamics. I have an extensive background in grief work. Keeping in mind, grief is not just a death loss but any significant change in life that was unexpected, unplanned or did not go according to plans. My interactive, supportive style of therapy is built into creating a plan of care with solution-focused goals in a short-term treatment therapy formula to assist in making changes and improvements. Life gets messy that is for sure. However, when we have the necessary tools and support during those times, we are better equipped to embrace the big events and things don't feel or look as messy.

My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I was licensed in Florida in 1986 as a Mental Health Counselor and have maintained my license since that date.

Later when I began working with an elderly population and clients dealing with physical limitations, I taught Qigong and Mindfulness Meditation as a way to improve their health, well-being, and cope with stress. My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a client, develop trust, and talking more explicitly about issues before making any recommendations. I am a strong advocate of evidence-based treatments and teaching ‘tools’ to cope with stress and emotional difficulties. I have gained training in trauma treatment because we now know that it is prevalent in our life experiences. I value compassion, persistence, and patience in working towards change. I look forward to working with you. I also value your time and want to use it productively in assisting you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Are you struggling to reach your goals or feel like 'you', again?
Getting therapy does not mean that hardships are automatically alleviated. It takes strength, hard work, and teaming together to discover the path toward inner growth and positive change. The best part, is that simply by doing research in contacting a counselor, you are accomplishing the first and perhaps most difficult step. Let me assist you in your journey towards a healthier, happier, and more serene you.
I see individuals as well as couples. My main specialties of counseling include: anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, meaning and purpose seeking, first responders and their families, postpartum issues, grief, trauma, stress management, substance use, anger management, parenting concerns, peer relationships, and much more.
I utilize a variety of techniques and methods to aid the client in discovering the path that allows them to feel more positive growth and change in their lives. I aim for the client feeling comfortable and providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment that facilitates this. The client and therapist need to be a great 'fit'!
