Family Therapy in 32828

Is your child struggling, and you don't know where to turn? I would be honored to help guide them to a new path by utilizing play therapy in my playroom in Oviedo, FL.

As a therapist, I want to help my clients begin their healing journey. Challenges in life can often knock us off our purpose-driven path, whether it’s relationship drama, life stress, or getting caught in the "what-if" storms of life. As your therapist, I hope to give clients the tools, insight and resources they need to achieve their goals in communication, collaboration and overall understanding. Ultimately, I want my clients want to feel confident and at peace in their life decisions and to continue walk their purpose-driven path.

Whether you are new to counseling or have previous experiences as a client in psychotherapy, I am glad you have found your way here. I work with adults in individual counseling on issues related to anger, anxiety, depression, and the effects of adverse childhood experiences - issues that can affect our relationships with ourselves, our friends, partners, spouses, and families. I also work with clients in relationship and family counseling to enhance communication, commitment, and connection, and to help navigate difficult relationship issues.

Communication can be a struggle for some. If your current way of communicating isn’t working for you or your relationship, and you’re ready to do the work, I can help. I’m passionate about helping others recognize and remove barriers to communication and learn healthier ways of understanding and interacting with others. Let me help with the skills you weren’t taught or with ways you learned that no longer serve you. It is time to rewrite the narrative, to be better for yourself and the people who love you. If you need a little help or little extra effort to get there, contact me and let’s get started. You win and so do they.

Are there any deep disappointments lingering within you? Do you feel alone, unlovable or misunderstood? Are you struggling with your child, spouse or any other relationship? Life issues and disappointments are heavy burdens to bear alone. Thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and/or rejection were never meant for you. And, it takes a village to grow a family. These life-matters were meant to be lived with others, disappointments were meant to be shared, and not good enough feelings were meant to be challenged. Would you consider help? Would you let me be that person for you, your child or adolescent in this season?

As a Counselor, I provide unconditional regard to my clients. I empower them in a compassionate and insightful manner. I offer support through each client’s individual journey.
