Therapists in Daytona Beach, FL

I consider myself a relational therapist and believe it is a privilege to sit with people while dealing with life's challenges. Through a multi-discipline approach, integrating the practice of healthy social-emotional strategies, relational repair and positive psychology, I assist the client in their pursuit of personal growth & resolution. I work with people of all ages, individuals, couples, and families. I have a unique specialization with co-parenting dynamics and children five and under as a trained Infant Mental Health Specialist through the Harris Institute of The FSU Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy.

Each of us is on a journey, and sometimes this journey can become quite stressful. At times we need someone on the outside looking in, to help us gain perspective and to encourage us toward healthy change. I have a passion to walk alongside others in their journeys to offer hope and help in healing. My Christian perspective and person-centered approach allows me to value each person as a fellow Image-bearer. I strive to create a safe environment, holding strongly to a non-judgmental stance, so that clients may feel accepted for who they are.

Let’s heal and enjoy this life! Hundreds of my clients in both residential settings and in private practice have experienced lasting, positive change as a result of a combination of EMDR and non traditional psychotherapy. EMDR is a powerful psychotherapy approach that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress including trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, persistent negative thoughts, depression and post traumatic stress. The EMDR technique allows clients to quickly and efficiently reprocess memories resulting in improved thought processing and emotional well being.

My ideal client is a living, breathing human being who is struggling with something they can't handle alone. They may have been struggling for days, weeks, months or even years but when they find the courage to reach out, pick up the phone and give me a call I can and will help you. Together we will find a way through the internal and external jungle that has prevented you from finding your way and succeeding, thriving in the past. Whether it is trauma, depression, mania or family dysfunction we will process our way through and we will find a way, YOU are NOT alone.

Awareness is the first step towards change. Depression, Addiction and Anxiety are issues that create enormous suffering. Relationship issues and toxic family dynamics can negatively impact all areas of your life if left untreated. Concerns about gender or sexuality are also areas of specialty. It is my promise that no one will ever feel judged in my office. I consider it a great privilege to help my clients navigate their struggles and become their best self.

I am a registered Art Therapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is currently working with individuals virtually in the state of Florida. I use a humanistic approach, seeing the good and potential in all people, to work alongside clients as they are on their healing journey in a judgement free space. I use experiences gained in various settings and experiences within sessions. I am passionate about getting to the "root" of the issue with the goal of truly healing and being able to move forward, by utilizing traditional talk therapy, art and expressive therapy, and Traumatic Incident Reduction to achieve individualized goals.

Graduating from Loyola University with a Master's degree in Theology and Marriage and Family, I focus on individuals impacted by addiction, infidelity, relational crisis and trauma. I have been a Program Director in a jail offering substance abuse treatment and a CEO and Clinical Director of a domestic violence center. As a federal government researcher, I developed an addiction curriculum used in treatment centers across the country and have been a featured therapist on the Oprah Network. I sincerely believe in and support long term recovery from addiction and trauma. Both my husband and I embrace a sober lifestyle.

If your needs include navigating through relationship difficulty, communication, sexuality and sensuality, sex trauma, or creating your own shared relational/sexual goals...then please call. I offer a sliding scale from $80-$120.

Rob had extensive experience working as an addictions counselor in Georgia, before becoming a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the State of Florida. Prior to becoming a substance abuse counselor, he worked as a personal trainer, helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals. Rob’s experience as a personal trainer and counselor led him to believe in treating clients with a holistic approach that includes mind, body, and spirit.
