Family Therapy in Safety Harbor, FL

As a Therapist with over 20 years' experience, I work with children, adolescents, families, couples and individuals to strengthen relationships and overall functioning. My approach to counseling is that we all have a need to be connected; to our spouse, friend, parents and children. Many things can disrupt our emotional connections and our goal together, is to repair and strengthen that connection to promote healthy relationships.

Do you frequently feel nervous, anxious, sad, or unmotivated? Have you had many difficult relationships, partner(s) or family members that leave you feeling down or unheard? Are you and your partner(s) experiencing significant jealousy, lack of trust, or disruption? I can work with you and your family/partner(s) to explore these issues, some of the causes, and ways to work through these struggles. You have what it takes to achieve wholeness, and I can help you take the steps to get there.

I have always enjoyed collaborating with people to solve problems. My primary mission as a counselor is to help individuals, couples, and families manage life’s challenges and its many crucial and often unexpected transitions. I am especially passionate about helping struggling teens, young adults, and their families; men in crisis; and individuals and couples improve decision-making, communication, and coping skills. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Do you lack direction or motivation? Is your personal, work, or family life in chaos? If so, then I am here to help.

Are you distracted by something so difficult or complicated that it interferes with you getting things done? Does it keep you from experiencing peace, joy, and purpose? When we experience stress, trauma, or grief, it is not uncommon for our lives to quickly unravel. If you need help unpacking and processing your experiences, or if you need help with motivation and direction, I can help. By finding better balance, you can gain control of your life, so you can achieve stronger self-awareness and more meaningful relationships.

As your counselor, I believe it is my role to come alongside you as you journey on this venture of living life to the fullest in Jesus. Often the events of our past, present circumstances or fear of the future can distract us from abundant living. The truth is this, fear does not have to be your future and circumstances do not have to define you. Now this journey may require sacrifice and get you out of your comfort zone, however, freedom comes when we allow the removal of any unnecessary weight we carry. Weights might be fear, insecurity, dissatisfaction, shame, grief, unforgiveness, bitterness or others. Are you willing and ready?
