Therapists in Marion County, FL

I specialize in helping people from Florida or South Carolina who are struggling with feeling overwhelmed by their drinking find peace in their life. Family & friends don't understand why you can't just stop drinking but I do. Working together we can quickly turn this problem around and it doesn’t always mean going to 12 step meetings. Clients who work with me show quick positive results. No hangovers, feeling sick or ashamed of the night before. Can you imagine waking up & feeling happy to start the day? That can totally be you.

Today many people are struggling with increased stress, depression, and anxiety due to the COVID virus coupled with any other stressors they had before. Most people are looking to make some changes in their life. If you find it difficult to concentrate, make decisions, or motivate yourself it may be time to talk to someone. If you are taking medications for mental health, it is always a great idea to participate in therapy for long-term coping skills. If you are a veteran and in need of a private evaluator for Compensation and Pension disability claims, I have extensive experience conducting these types of evaluations.

You're seeking someone to meet you where you are and help guide you on the path you wish to travel. You're looking for someone to sit in openness, without judgement, and assist you in achieving a more functional and fulfilling life. I am honored to serve as your professional connector of dots. Together, we can piece together your bigger picture, greater purpose, and ideal level of functioning. I look forward to collaborating with you!

Do you always have to be the strong one? Do you feel like you are the caretaker? The hero? The rescuer? The one who everyone turns to, but has no one to turn to themselves? Do you witness the unimaginable and have to “carry on” to save the next life? You are not alone. I help clients learn how to live with their experiences, set and hold appropriate boundaries, build healthy relationships, gain stability, and learn skills to manage their emotions in a healthy way. I provide a safe and supportive place for those who feel they can’t talk about their experiences because no one else can understand.
