I can work with you to help you navigate what life throws at you, whether it be stress at work, problems with dating, making and maintaining friendships and relationships, fertility issues, postpartum to adolescent parenting, and other life transitions. Working together, we can help you find just the right balance in your life.

It hurts to feel disconnected from your partner, parent, or child. And sometimes the harder you both try to close that distance, the farther apart and more lonely you both end up feeling. Yet you keep using the same ineffective relationship strategies, because you don't know what else to do! Or maybe you just give up. If yours is like most relationships, you're already spending enough time and effort trying to make it work -- you're just spending it in the wrong way. I can help you redirect your efforts using an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I can help guide you towards improving important relationships in your life: With yourself, family, at work, in love, and with others.

We will explore differences in values, perspective, backgrounds, communication styles, and evaluate trust, honesty, respect, expectations and relational patterns. My work is holistic, integrative, and solution-focused (https://www.carmelaflorolmft.com).

Some people struggle with preconceived ideas about what therapy is. I see therapy as a good place to take difficult life experiences, transitions and "stuff" we struggle with.

I also specialize in Psychedelic integration work helping people integrate what comes up into their daily lives.
