Therapists in Bradenton, FL

You just took the first step towards feeling better! Are you here because you are feeling stressed, anxious, or worried? Do you find yourself going to the “what ifs” versus living in the moment? Or perhaps you are taking care of a loved one and finding yourself feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you have just experienced a major loss - a death, loss of a job or relationship, or received a new diagnosis? If you have any of these issues, I am here to help. Anxiety, grief, loss, caregiving stress, and relationship issues, are my specialty areas. I am here to listen compassionately and help you navigate through this difficult time.

It is difficult and very anxiety provoking to make the initial appointment, although, that is the first step towards success! I want to validate that emotional response, and to bring comfort by providing a faith driven approach enlightened with hope and strength for your personal growth and development. I assist my clients to be empowered by their self-worth, and work collaboratively to reach their ideal goal of success and progress. I provide a supportive, humorous, and safe environment where it's possible to connect on a therapeutic level.

Your daily experiences are cumulative. The distress and anxiety you feel has worsened over time. Now you’re afraid of losing control completely and the rejection you may get from others if they know how you feel and what you’re thinking. It has become very lonely. You have tried everything you know – meditation, yoga, music, exercise, sleep routines – nothing has worked. Hopelessness started to set in. But because of your determination, you refused to give up.

I believe that a sense of humor, openness and a deep concern is invaluable in getting you to the goals you set and sustaining them in the long term. I believe that together we can resolve issues better than we can alone. I believe that allowing ourselves to be human (in all its facets) is critical to resolving many psychological and life challenges. I believe that well-researched treatment approaches are the best way to tackle distressing symptoms. If you believe all of these too, then call and let's work together.
