Humanistic Therapists in 32751

I provide an empathetic, collaborative, and integrative approach to loss, trauma, meaning and identity, and mood disorders. In my practice, I primarily work with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, grief, end of life concerns, chronic illness, and mood disorders. I use a multicultural and trauma-informed humanistic approach to working with adults as well as children and adolescents. My educational background includes being EMDR trained (EMDRIA approved) and I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Vanderbilt and a M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College.

I work with adults 18+ who are looking for support with emotional distress, navigating their partner relationships, friendships, or family dynamics, living with the impacts of trauma, adjusting to life transitions, & those seeking neurodiversity-affirming support. There is hope to create a greater sense of connection, safety, and ease within yourself and your relationships. I offer therapy focused on deepening self-understanding, developing tools for a meaningful life, and discovering your healthier way of responding to life. We will explore approaches to your unique story to find more authentic ways to thrive in your day to day.

Are you looking for techniques and strategies to improve your quality of life and reduce distress? Struggling with emotions, behavior, or self image issues that cause suffering? Counseling is a fantastic path to emotional and cognitive optimization for many people. Additionally, mental, emotional, and physical health all impact one another so it is helpful to examine their interaction in order to holistically understand a person and their experience.

I consider mental health counseling a profession in which my clients come to me because they feel stuck and want to change. Further, I believe that many people believe that change is too difficult, too painful, or simply not possible. In other words, stuck! My role as a counselor is to clarify the issues that create the muck that holds my clients back from healing, growth, and thriving. I help them discover that their lives will not get better by chance, but by change. I believe that the road to healing involves pursuing change.

It takes a lot to get to a place where you have decided to get help. It's not always easy to confront difficult feelings and experiences and that's normal. I have a passion for helping people that want to learn how to better navigate their emotions in a healthier way, gain a deeper understanding of themselves and improve their relationships and quality of life. I specialize in working with people who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, substance use and that have experienced traumatic events. I also help people who are struggling with cultural issues and intergenerational trauma.

Are you stuck? Unable to think, feel, or behave differently? Do you want to make changes in your life but find it difficult to be motivated? Does change seem so far out of reach, not to mention scary? At First Step Therapy you can share your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. Like a sunrise, each individual is unique and different from any other. So every therapy session will be tailored made for you to focus on your needs and wants. Make change happen!!

We all need & seek connection; connection with others, connection to certain feelings or things, connection to ideas & goals, connection with ourselves. Whether you're struggling with feelings of disconnection, or are looking to better manage/improve upon current connections, I believe that there is strength, growth, & hope in numbers - we weren't meant to go it alone. As a graduate from UCF with a Masters degree in Marriage, Couples, & Family therapy, I operate from a systemic perspective - utilizing an integrative, holistic approach.

Are you not where you thought you would be at this point in your life? Are your relationships not what you signed up for? Do feel outpaced by your emotions or flooded with anxiety? Do you spend way too much time with background anxiety or looping thoughts? Do you feel paralyzed to move forward? It may be time to reach out for professional counseling. I work collaboratively and compassionately in order to activate your strengths and internal resources. I work in a real world way that ignites your ability to move forward as an agent of change in your own life.
