Therapists in Crystal River, FL

I use Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psycho-Educational Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy to assist in clients meeting goals. My approach is based on the belief that clients help to manage their counseling experience. They will learn and establish boundaries within their life that help them recognize the things they can control and what they cannot. Clients will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which they will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within counseling alliance.

I have always had a desire to help others in their journey and believe that everyone has the power to heal within them.

I believe that the healing process is a collaborative one with other health professionals if beneficial.

You have already made the first and biggest step towards making that happen by looking for a therapist. That’s where our work together can start.

Sex and relationships can feel like minefields. Maybe communication resembles a boxing match, intimacy is a distant memory, or there’s been cheating, shaking your world to its core. Feeling unlovable, wrestling with unconventional desires, or being scared of intimacy due to past traumas – it’s heavy stuff. It’s not just about mismatched Netflix preferences; it’s about feeling disconnected, unheard, or stuck in a situation you never expected. This is tough territory, and it can feel oh-so-vulnerable to address. But you don’t have to face it alone.

Do you feel like no matter what you do, things aren't going the way you'd like? Are you struggling to maintain healthy relationships, work and life in general?

They may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, food-related issues, work stress, grief, lack of purpose, burn out, or overall unhappiness without knowing why.

My clients long for inner-peace and to feel joy inside, sometimes for the first time ever or in a very long time.

I believe therapy is sacred work, and I approach each encounter with reverence. Transformation is possible through mindful presence, and the meditative practice of acceptance of reality as it is. There are many changes that occur when people are able to bring unconscious emotions into awareness, which does happen naturally, but is amplified during non-ordinary states of consciousness. When we deepen the awareness of how our mind operates-its patterns, tendencies, weak spots and vulnerabilities-we are able to connect with our deepest desires, and most creative expressions of who we are, and who we are capable of becoming.
