Teen Therapists in Lake Eola Heights, Orlando, FL

Different challenges can cause us to fill "stuck", "overwhelmed", and "anxious". My experiences as a psychotherapist have taught me that all challenges can be opportunities for growth and empowerment.

My job is to go beyond listening and build on your strengths, work through your problem(s), and assist you in making those changes that empower you to create a more fulfilling life.

Life can seem like a barrage of stimuli hurling at us. This makes it difficult to listen quietly and to be led intuitively. How do You respond? We all react differently or sometimes even destructively, manifesting in attempts at control, or feeling insecure and compulsive. If one feels anxious, afraid, and uncertain while trying to do life, the struggle to figure things out can seem even less navigable. I seek to create a safe environment that allows people in pain, emotional paralysis, fear, self harm, sadness, etc... to experience hope and gain practical skills in order to navigate their lives with more savvy and confidence.

I will provide a safe and therapeutic environment for you to process internal and external expectations while deepening compassion and love for yourself. You will begin to thrive in your interpersonal relationships while learning to love and fully accept yourself...and we may even have a little fun in the process.

Our focus is to create balance and wellness in people's lives through a harmony between physical and mental health wellness. We want to create a space where our clients of all backgrounds feel safe to be transparent and honest about the experiences they have in order to affect change in their lives. We also want to highlight the experiences of inequity in our society and to those that are disproportionately affected, we are here to empower and support you as you learn to heal from these experiences. We understand that being males in the mental health field is a rarity and encourage more boys/men to prioritize their mental health.

I believe all humans will experience stress, suffering, uncertainty, and ultimately death. I also believe many of our issues come from how we face these inevitable aspects of being human. As early as childhood we begin learning how to survive in this world. We learn patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are meant to protect us, and perhaps do so for a period of time, but at some point become ineffective or even destructive. These patterns inhibit our ability to experience a life of meaning, connection, growth, and peace.
