Behavioral Issues Therapists in Saint Petersburg, FL

I strive to assist clients of all ages struggling with self esteem, anxiety or depression to improve their lives through strength based services. I am skilled in behavior modification, and love to help families to increase their attachment and connection.

When life feels stressful or overwhelming, it’s okay to ask for help. As an LMHC, I team up with clients to help them determine what changes they’d like to make in their lives and the most effective ways to achieve them. We all need support at times, whether it be working through some past/current life-changing events, making big decisions, improving family or intimate partner relationships, or learning new skills to change things in your life. My background includes utilizing evidence-based approaches to assist those struggling with trauma, mood disorders, social skills deficits, and oppositional behavior & sexual behavior issues.

I hold a personnel belief that the client needs to tell their story, feel safe in doing so, and form a bond of trust with their therapist. I have worked in mental health for 17 years. My background started in Criminal Justice. My first Masters degree is in this field, and continued to a Maters in Counseling. There was always one common thread, people were broken. A broken person loses trust, in both people and themselves. Building the therapeutic rapport is the beginning of trust, and the first step to healing. Mood and emotions can be deceptive, people want to give up, isolate, may be angry or dysfunctional. Take the first step.

All of us have dreams, aspirations and needs. To be successful, we need to have the mental and physical needs taken care of. Having goals and plans help guide us to the achievement of our goals.

Is your child struggling with anxious or depressive thoughts at home, school or with peers? Or do they have the motivation to do well but still face behavior challenges and you both need support?

As a dedicated child and family therapist, my goal is to guide children and their families through their journey using CBT to support the social-emotional development of my clients and their knowledge about their cognitive and emotional coping processes.

Are your issues impacting your functioning at home, work, school, and/or socially? An ideal client acknowledges a need for help and understands they cannot do it independently.

I worked 30 years at a VA Medical Center with Veterans dealing with Addictions, Relationship conflict, Behavioral problems, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, and PTSD.
