I believe that therapy is a journey toward growth, personal fulfillment and greater understanding of our selves and of those around us, achieved through a process of self-reflection. The ultimate goal: to be effective problem solvers, to be more mindful, to enrich our lives and to enrich the lives of those who surround us. I offer an integrative track to psychotherapy to help clients transition through challenging moments in their lives.

Therapy is about exploring transitions and losses. A loss of a relationship, a job, a lifestyle, a home, a friendship, or the loss of a dream or expectation. We dismiss some losses, not realizing their impact on our day to day life. We may suffer from anxiety or depression without understanding why they are present. Other losses, however, can be so traumatic that we lose our ability to heal from them. Moreover, we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes, not being able to transform ourselves and change our behavior, even when we realize that our reactions are unhelpful and self-destructive. We wonder whether life will be better.

Play, with neither a plan or purpose, is the best precondition -- Marie-Louise von Franz. Everyone has a story and sometimes we become stuck in our story because we want to move in a direction that may be different than what is expected. Being stuck may manifest with symptoms of anxiety, depression or other disorders. My approach is to encounter these symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment. The role of therapy is to provide understanding and an empathetic ear with a belief that the activity of therapy will provide insight and healing.

I believe that therapy can be whatever you need it to be. Maybe you'd like to make a change related to your career, drug or alcohol use, or social life. Or, you may be struggling with low self-worth, lack of direction, difficulty in relationships, or painful feelings about the past. Perhaps you need help coping with anxiety, panic, depression, or other mental health issues. Whatever your goals, I can provide a healthy, supportive environment where your feelings and thoughts can be expressed without judgment.

You are resilient; overcoming a lot to accomplish what you have. And yet, things keep bubbling up. Private challenges or pain you can’t seem to get a handle on. You hesitate to tinker with your life, because generally things are working, but something is off. When we examine, at our own pace with supportive guidance, how early experiences have shaped the way we think about ourselves, our relationships, and our careers, we can change our perspective and how we respond. We can decide how we want our future to be, and take more control over our choices. We can begin to build the life we want, rather than the life we've ended up with.

Life's journey can be intense and difficult at times. Painful experiences can throw us into a downward spiral of sufferance. Being able to process our struggles allow us to turn them into catalysts for a meaningful life. I offer a space of sincere empathy and emotional safety to explore, learn and grow from discomfort and unease. Through my clinical training I have learned different modalities that allow me to connect with the deepest available information from my clients, and from there I use my knowledge and experience to empower them to find their own truth.

We are often unconsciously drawn to familiar situations we learned in childhood. Events and relationships in the earlier parts of our lives have affected us, and draw us into familiar situations where we repeat unhealthy choices, that are often not in our best interest.

I will approach our work together with a genuine curiosity and seek to collaboratively explore the different parts of your story.

Licensed in FL, GA, & CA- I knew I was called to be a mental health therapist when I was 11. How else was I going to fix my life after my parents damaged me :-) After growing up in foster care, abused & abandoned, I spent decades feeling lost & helpless. At 37, I finally learned how to heal myself. I went on to get my PhD in Mental Health Counseling, a Hypnotherapy degree, & became an author of self-improvement books. I went on to work in women's in-patient & co-ed out-patient substance abuse facilities, a psychiatric hospital, private practice, the military, low income families, and wrap around services for foster children.
