Out of Network Therapists in Gainesville, FL

Are you full of racing thoughts and can't figure out why or how to stop them? Are you looking for a therapist who you can discuss your D&D character with? Maybe you're tired from reviewing every mistake you've ever made and struggle to communicate how you feel to friends and family. I value creating a space where we will explore who the villain of your story is, whether it be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or something else. While I enjoy working with everyone, as a queer and GNC therapist, I specialize in working with queer/trans teens & adults. I appreciate creating a comfortable & geeky space where you can show up as yourself.

If you struggle with the oftentimes debilitating effects of depression; anxiety; CPTSD; PTSD; life changes; grief; your past; finding purpose or direction and you are seeking to find your path to healing and understanding, then you have made a good start to listening to your intuition and discovering what you need. The journey to heal from trauma is never a straight path and you are worthy of finding peace with your past. Because of my experiences and understanding of what it is like to live a life after trauma, I can offer support using a holistic approach as you discover your path to heal. Believe in yourself!

Trauma, anxiety-related disorders, OCD, phobia, anger, couples therapy, and parenting of teens. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard treatment for many, many disorders. Learn to feel, think, and engage life in ways you've always wanted. I use research-tested methods and my 18 years' experience as a professional counselor to guide you in building yourself up, breaking free, and finding freedom from limiting beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. You are capable of making the changes you want to see in your life, but everyone needs help sometimes. I'm professionally trained and here to help you now.

I provide creative, gender-affirming therapy for queer and trans clients, as well as short-term solution focused therapy for partners and family members to process a loved one’s coming out. Clients come to me for a lot of reasons— they’re questioning their gender identity, struggling with the coming out process, or looking to learn more about how to support someone they love. Sometimes they have past traumas that are getting in the way of feeling secure, safe, and authentic. Or they want some strategies for managing anxiety or depression. No matter what brings you here, welcome.

Self-esteem and anxiety are the primary issues my clients bring to therapy. They have trouble feeling comfortable in their own skin and often avoid themselves, seeking validation and comfort from the outside. I help clients go inward and befriend themselves, allowing them to develop a deep understanding of who they are. This creates the stability people are yearning for. I had to learn this first hand. I used to be very anxious. I was a people pleaser and got my sense of worth from the world around me. I am now my best friend and love spending time with me. I'd love to support you in doing the same.

I often compare counseling to chemotherapy. I went through chemotherapy because I believed it offered hope for curing my cancer. In a similar vein, counseling offers you the hope of a new way of doing life. Are your relationships all you want them to be? Are you able to put words to your feelings? Or do they just seem like a dark mess? Are you feeling powerless and out of control in your world? Cor Counseling is a safe place to explore your heart and to learn new ways of living.

I vow to always meet you where you are. If you're deep inside of a dark well of despair and pain, at a fork in the road & feeling unsure about where to go, or anything in between, my aim is to sit with you and help you navigate all the feelings- good, bad, and indifferent- that life has to offer. We all come to a point in our lives when talking to friends or family members or anonymous hotlines may not be enough, and we make the decision to start a therapeutic journey. I am here to walk that journey with you, to help you grow, find contentment, achieve wellness, and foster a healthy sense of self.

If you feel depressed or anxious, frustrated with yourself or someone else, or reeling from an important life transition, therapy can be life-changing. As your therapist, we will identify the source of your discomfort, and guide you toward repairing the disconnect between how you feel and who you want to be. I work with couples and families as well, having difficulties with communication and living harmoniously together. I specialize in young adults (18-35), for whom therapy can be pivotal in achieving great growth and change. Another specialty is those having issues with parenting, and balancing work/family/individual needs.

As a therapist, I take into account the various intersecting dimensions of human experience to provide a comprehensive and contextual understanding of the clients I collaborate with. In navigating one’s rich internal topography, I ensure my client’s are compassionately held in this process with a felt sense of wholeness, respect, and humility. In this unfolding process, you are invited to cultivate a greater sense of self-compassion, resilience, and psychological flexibility. With a firm trust in the evolutionary potential of all beings, I would best describe my approach to psychotherapy as integrative and process-oriented.

Ever struggle with over thinking, or feeling disconnected from yourself or the world around you? Let's work together to create a life sourced from wholeness. I guide others to deepen their connection with self, soul and spirit to gain new awareness and develop a lifestyle that promotes inner-peace and empowerment to live a more satisfying and purpose-driven life. We will do this by moving through past, negative beliefs, traumas, patterns and other barriers to true expression. Through Guided Reflection, we will explore how connecting with your innate wisdom can inform this one precious lifetime.
