Teletherapy for Boca Raton, FL

Enough is Enough! Why suffer with anxiety, loneliness, anger, conflict or self-doubt when you can get the tools and insights to change your life around? With an emphasis on the body-mind modality, I will guide you to develop into the empowered person you were meant to be.

Together we will explore limiting beliefs and messages that you hold deep inside as a result of your trauma (BigT or little t). Untreated it contributes to anxiety, substance abuse, depression, and/or codependency. This results in a repetitious pattern of self – sabotage. In fact, we can become addicted to the drama &chaos. A true source of unhappiness. Leaving you feeling stuck. I utilize modalities that actually move stuck energy. EMDR can reset negative core beliefs with a more adaptive positive belief using rapid eye movements & reprocessing disturbing events. You don’t even have to talk about them to have it be effective.

The ideal client is one one who demonstrates willingness to partner in the change and growth process of therapy. Identifying goals and objectives of the therapeutic process are critical to giving direction to measurable outcomes in therapy. In addition to developing increased insight as it pertains to MH issues such as depression and anxiety, more significant emotional problems related to trauma, stressors, and unresolved anger issues often need addressing. My goal is ultimately to bring my clients to increased stabilization and self esteem, greater understanding of themselves, and improve coping skills.

What does help look like to you? How do you know when you are "feeling better" and therapy is working? What does "better" even look like? Do you know your "whys"? These are important questions when working with a clinical therapist, to hold the light onto, and when getting to know yourself. Oftentimes, it takes a lot of unlearning unhelpful patterns and conditioning to become well.

Vulnerability is hard. The 'easier' choice is just not to talk about it. 'If I just don't think about it, I will be fine.' Sound familiar? It's a common coping strategy. One which consistently backfires as evidenced by the persistent emotional and/or relational problems continuing to appear in your life. What we resists persists. You want to feel heard, seen and understood. I assure you, you will. Remember you cannot heal what you refuse to feel. Reach out for a free consultation call today. You are one decision away from feeling better in your life. I'm here.

It is the constant anxiety and the thoughts that seem overwhelming. It is the racing heart, shortness of breath and inability to stop thinking about the what-ifs. You find yourself struggling to stay connected and trust others. You feel like you have lost control of many things in your life. It has become difficult to concentrate at work or at school, and the memories and thoughts keep playing in your head. You no longer enjoy your present, as you spend so much time thinking about the past and what the future holds for you. With the right treatment, things don’t need to be this way.

Frustrated of being told to "relax", "calm down", "you are too sensitive", "grow up" & "get over it already, or "you worry to much"? People tell you this as if you do not want to relax, stop overthinking, overreact and worry! If you could, you would! Being told this from friends and loved ones does not help. In fact, it can cause you to feel much worse! You probably have tried to stop on your own, but your mind continues to fill up with thoughts that cause you to become stressed and you struggle to turn your brain off! You are not alone! I get it and can absolutely relate! This why I am so dedicated in helping people find relief!
