My ideal client is motivated to improve their situation. They may be dealing with depression or anxiety around issues of grief and loss, family concerns, LGBT issues or may just not know why things aren't going well
I work in my Sarasota office Monday through Friday between 9-5. I have over 25 years working as a therapist. I am strength based and believe we need to change the negative messages we tell ourselves to begin to change.
I feel that we all need support to deal with the stressors of life and in our first session we will develop a plan together as to how I might be able to help. We often believe we should be able to do this ourselves, but change can occur quickly when you allow others to support you. I do my work with tha assistance of my compassionate golden retriever, Rylee
