If you are stressed about life or dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, finances, life transitions, difficulty in the workplace, addiction, low self-esteem, grief I can help. My goal is to help empower clients to overcome the obstacles they face in life by building on their current strengths.
My passion is to is to guide clients to become aware of the self-limiting belief systems that prevent them from living happy, healthy, and balanced lives and to inspire them to make positive changes.

My focus when I work with clients struggling with addictions is to assist them to identify the underlying issues that cause them to struggle with addiction and help them to overcome these issues, while acquiring purposeful direction, motivation and the development of independence. I recognize that each person is unique and therefore needs individualized counseling strategies that will provide the best outcome for their own needs.

I have experience working with individuals, children and families with mental health and substance use disorders, helping them overcome stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem, adjustment challenges and loss or grief.

I approach therapy as client centered, meaning this is your time, judgment free zone and nothing is off limits for discussion. My clients drive the topics with my support and suggestions to help get them on the road to their personal goals. I use more of a fire-side chat approach to helping drive toward your wants and needs. My sessions are not typically clinical and "stuffy" but an open dialogue that uses humor and compassion.

Kissimmee, FL - Accepting clients in FL
You are here hoping to find that therapist who stands out to you because you want to find someone who can help you. The search can be overwhelming for some. Most of the profiles of therapists are going to say similar things. Most of which should be standard like brakes on a car.
I cannot promise I'm the right one for you. Here is what I can tell you about my approach. I believe in being practical which means I will not use a lot of psycho-babble or fancy strategies. I have a tendency to be blunt. My wife says I'm the "bluntest politest man" she has ever met. I'm going to be real with you.
I love couples/marriage counseling, and that is my main focus. However, about half of my clients have always been individuals. Some people just need a place to vent. Others need help solving a problem, and most people need a little of both.
I know therapy might be a little intimidating or even scary to some. Try to think of it as a massage for your brain. It's a place where you can say whatever you want guilt-free.

Hello, I am Viktoria.
Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own.
There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish.
Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hello! I'm Kelly!
Do you feel your past life experiences weigh you down like an anchor and it is hard to "be normal?" Are these memories flooding your day-to-day experiences preventing you from feeling joy and living in the here and now? Is it challenging to see the real you and believe in your worth?
I help both adults and children who have experienced traumatic events and who are struggling with low self-worth to claim back their lives and discover that what happened to them does not define them. Together we will take the journey to identify the true you so you can have healthy connections with others and most importantly, yourself!
Whether you or your child are struggling with healthy relationships, anxiety, flashbacks, inappropriate behaviors, connecting with your child, or simply life's ups and downs, I'm here to help. Reaching out for help when others have let you down can feel overwhelming and scary but you are making the right choice! You deserve to have a safe and healthy space to heal and grow. During our time together, you will be met with compassion, empathy and evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
What do you say? Let's begin this journey together!

Your calendar is packed. You’re juggling a checklist, responsibilities, and expectations. You wear multiple hats—as a professional, mother, daughter, partner, and caregiver. You’re trying to balance your career, household, and the quiet changes of midlife that no one really warned you about.
All of this is becoming too heavy. And now, you’re starting to feel it—emotionally and physically.
YOU'RE THE ONE OTHERS RELY ON—at work, at home, and in every role you hold. But lately, you’re anxious, stretched thin, & just not quite like yourself. You're wanting to reconnect with the version of you that isn’t running on empty.

Beverly Hills, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirteen years of experience in the social services field, specializing in supporting adults and veterans through life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2020 and obtained my Florida licensure in 2022.
My professional journey began in 2012 within a Head Start program, where I developed a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families. Over the years, my clinical focus expanded, leading me to join a mental health agency in 2022, where I provided individual, group, and family therapy.
As someone from a military family, I have a personal understanding of the unique experiences faced by service members, veterans, and their loved ones. This insight inspired me to open my own practice, with the goal of offering specialized, culturally competent care to the military and veteran community, as well as to adult individuals navigating trauma, life transitions, and personal growth.
I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes resilience, self-determination, and holistic well-being.
I’m honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey and look forward to helping you build on your strengths and enhance your resilience.

Palm Harbor, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Even when everything looks fine on the outside—your calendar full, your responsibilities handled—there can be a quiet, persistent exhaustion underneath it all. You might feel like you're constantly pushing, performing, or holding space for others, but rarely stopping to ask how you’re really doing. The world often rewards high-functioning anxiety and burnout with praise for being dependable, driven, or “together,” but inside, you may feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve you.
Therapy offers a space to pause. A space where you don’t have to explain everything or hold it all together. In our work together, we gently untangle the deeper patterns—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of letting others down—that often trace back to earlier relationships or environments. These patterns helped you survive, succeed, or stay connected, but they may now be costing you peace, clarity, or a sense of self.
I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to our sessions, helping you shift from coping to healing. We’ll move at your pace, making space for both insight and emotional process—not just what you think, but how you feel. Over time, you can begin to trust your own needs, set boundaries without guilt, and feel more like yourself again—not because you’ve fixed everything, but because you’ve come home to who you are beneath the pressure.
You are not too much, and you are not alone. If you’re ready to feel seen and supported as you navigate change, I’m here to walk alongside you.
