If you are having difficulty having your needs met in a relationship I can help you express yourself in a way so that you can be understood by communicating effectively. If self-esteem and motivation are lacking, let's come up with some ideas and solutions that can help you gain success. Life transitions are also often difficult. You may find yourself unsatisfied in your career or feeling as if you are in "limbo" or lost. Let's find out ways to invest back into yourself, deal with work stress, and find your identity.

Jacksonville, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) passionate about helping individuals find hope and healing during the most difficult times of their lives.  These difficult experiences can leave one feeling lost, depressed, anxious, fearful, and emotionally wounded. Feeling "stuck" with any of these emotions can be very overwhelming and life-altering.  However, I believe that no matter the circumstances there is always hope and the possibility of Moving Forward! I have been a therapist for 10+ years specializing in the field of trauma, specifically Sexual Abuse trauma. My specialties include the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Additionally, I have experience in providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families with a range of emotional and behavioral issues such as Adoption Related Issues, Attachment Disorders, Crisis Intervention, Conflict Resolution, Depression, Grief & Loss, and Parenting.

I believe in empowering my clients in developing coping skills and self-awareness to increase self-esteem and confidence to create a positive change. Resiliency and self efficacy is the goal and we all have it within us. Sometimes we just need to find a way to tap into it.

Life is tough, we all have experienced hard things- let me help you figure them out, put the past away and focus on your current life and all that you want it to be. I am a solution based therapist so I will assign homework, the more you put into it the more you will get out it.

St. Cloud, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I have been in the mental health field since 2007. I was informed when I first started in this field that the average time for people to stay in the field is two years. I am still in the field because helping others is more than a career choice for me, it is my passion in life. Helping others is a personal goal of mine. I look forward to the opportunity. I enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, children, adolescents and teens, from various cultures and backgrounds. Each case and each client is unique in their way and each client is important. My particular areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling and family counseling. I refer to myself as a "simple-minded therapist" which means we will explore simple ways to address the presenting concerns because many times the solutions are so simple they can be easily overlooked. I am a firm believer that holding a conversation is more productive than expounding on theoretical approaches.
