Therapists in 32303

I've had over 20 years of experience in the field, working with many issues including a variety of sexual issues, abuse, crisis intervention, anxiety, depression and anger. I work with both youth and adults.

As a psychotherapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for self-exploration and healing. My mission is to empower individuals to navigate life's challenges, discover their inner strengths, and cultivate positive sustainable change.

As Forrest Gump's mother once said, "You've gotta put the past behind you before you can move on." While this idea sounds somewhat simple, putting the past behind us; especially a traumatic one, can be easier said than done. In my work with individuals, I embrace a philosophy that helps people explore their past experiences in order to better understand their present day ones. Additionally, because I believe God to be the source of all things; healing and hope included, I will utilize a faith-based approach in session if desired by prospective clients.

I know we are in a time of uncertainty and we don't know what the future holds, but I am here for you. I would like you to imagine a state of mindful, empowered, living because it can be done. Whether you are currently experiencing anxiety and stress or have been struggling with depression, there is help. Having over twenty years of experience in the mental health field and over eight in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed, I believe there is hope for you to feel better by learning strategies to cope with these difficult feelings. I will work with you to help you understand yourself better and to learn tools you can use to make positive changes in your life and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental, objective and confidential environment to explore thoughts and feelings and uncover patterns that may be preventing you from being where you want to be in your life. I enjoy working with all populations, focusing on a variety of issues including relationship/family issues, anxiety, depression, trauma.

I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.
