Attachment-based Therapists in Clair Mel, FL

You have the suspicion that past childhood trauma or previous feelings of abandonment are impacting your current intimate partner relationships. You may have explored your attachment style and want to get a handle on how to not let your past impact your future. Maybe you are someone who gets along well in your relationships - perhaps, too well because you aren’t implementing healthy boundaries. You’re drained but don’t know how to get out of the cycle because everyone now expects for you to be the “strong” friend, or adult child. You want to get to the root of what is going on so that you can be happy in your relationships.

Finding a therapist that you really connect with is integral to the therapeutic process. I weave somatic-based (EMDR, polyvagal-informed, "parts" work) and attachment-based approaches to give clients the necessary tools needed to face their greatest challenges. My passion is helping clients access their inner and external resources so you can live your life in an authentic and meaningful way.

My ideal client struggles with insecurities, fears, has low self- esteem, and difficulties to identify his or her strengths. He or she has fears, and anxieties, and create the worst possible case scenarios in his or her inner dialogue for situations that he or she finds threatening or challenging. Also my ideal client needs to identify strategies to better manage their time. My ideal client struggles with anxieties in his or her relationship, which could lead to codependency and anxious attachment patterns.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, I deeply value cultural diversity and am committed to supporting our Hispanic community.

Unresolved Trauma, Chronic Stress, and Anxiety leave you feeling out-of-control and out-of-touch with the confident, curious, and secure self you used to know. You may be experiencing toxic shame or excessive guilt. You may fear that you are broken beyond repair or just a problem to be solved. Maybe you just want to enjoy your life but you feel haunted by the past, fearful of the future, and disconnected from your body. It can be scary to start this journey because you’ve become comfortable with the way things are even though you want them to be different. I help clients rescue themselves from the chaos and come home to themselves.

In this world you will face troubles of many kinds- you may feel anxious, depressed, consumed in a world of stress, traumatized, exhausted, unsure of how to cope, and may just feel overall lost.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** ***I am also credentialed to do video therapy*** For more info check out my website and media interviews. I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.

As a parent, do you find yourself wondering, 'am I doing everything that I can to support my child and his or her success?' When it comes to working with children, it can be hard to know how to provide the best support for academic, behavioral, and social-emotional development. I want to take this moment to express gratitude that you're taking the first step to seek out support for your child and your family. I'm here to help! Calling a school psychologist and parent coach may feel intimidating, but I hope that you take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help and support you and your family.

Do you desire a deeper connection with your partner, your family, or yourself? I believe that the various relationships and experiences in our lives have a powerful impact on who we are and how we experience the world. As a qualified mental health professional and clinical social worker, I work with individual adults and adolescents, as well as families and couples in need of support. My approach to therapy is warm, accepting, and empathetic, and involves working as a team with my clients to identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and improve their quality of life.

My area of focus has been child development, family transitions, marital counselling, and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS). Specialty areas include addressing parenting/behavioral issues with young children, marital conflict, and any individual or dyad working with trauma. Client-centered and culturally sensitive treatment is always a goal of mine. Individual talk therapy and working within the context of building relationships are typical modalities client would expect from my services. Trauma therapy is often conducted individually.

You feel stuck. As far as others know you are doing just fine, but inside you are bombarded by feelings of fear, shame, and sadness. Even though you are able to function enough to get by, you're exhausted by the thoughts about not getting it "right". Would it help to have a safe place to share your concerns, ideas and dreams? And when you are ready to move with courageous action, would it help to have someone by your side? What you want is to believe that you matter, that it’s possible to feel grounded and find joy in life. You need to feel safe to be yourself.
