Attachment-based Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

When being seen and heard has felt like an impossibility and you’re ready to be who you know you’re meant to be, I’m here to help. You have navigated life’s challenges alone long enough. You’ve made it this far by your own strength and fortitude, so you already possess the internal strength to make the changes that will lead to the life you desire. You just need help assembling the necessary tools to build a life in which you are exactly who you are meant to be.

Are you looking for help with a relationship? How do you decide which therapist is a good fit for your situation? It's hard to make the first step, I get it. I will provide you with a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental perspective. I work with individuals, couples and families who need help with their most important relationships. I work with premarital, married couples, and blended families. I believe life was meant to be lived in a safe and secure relationship with others, if you do too...I can help.

Life is hard; however, you do not have to navigate it alone. As a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience, I am committed to supporting individuals with developing healthy and positive lifestyle choices using a supportive skills-based approach to help deal with life's challenges.

Humanistic approach designed to support each individual optimize their strengths, find balance within their daily lives, as well as identify and pursue their personal goals.

A lot of people are against counseling, because they do not really understand what it means. At times, society attaches a stigma to those seeking a support system because life challenges you to make more conscious and intentional choices. Give me 90 days; I am confident, and I guarantee your life will never be the same. I'm trained in the clinical & spiritual aspect, and it is my pleasure to serve you. My experience includes using a collaborative and integrated approach to work with issues such as relational conflict, anger management, anxiety, stress management, and even strengthening professional & professional development.

When the pressures of daily life create distress, there is great satisfaction in finding a solution to lower your natural instinct of fear and anxiety. The main focus of my practice is to locate the limiting beliefs from your history, to free you from the contradictions that limit your growth and confuse you in relationships. The most important goal of therapy is to raise awareness regarding your natural inclination to react to negativity. When you are well anchored on the inside you will not emotionally react to an external challenge or threat.

You may find yourself here, feeling completely disconnected and distant from your partner. They're the person you used to tell everything to, who used to bring butterflies to your stomach; but you’re sitting back, looking at your relationship now, wondering how you two got here. Your once soul-mate has somehow become nothing more than your roommate - going through the motions to get through another day. You’re tired of the fighting, of the eye-rolls, but most of all, tired of the silence. You feel like you’ve tried everything.

I believe what contributes to my attunement with my clients is my genuine respect for who they are as individuals, my curiosity about and willingness to be affected by their life stories, and my focus on identifying their resiliencies. I strive to be a highly engaged therapist and maintain knowledge of current, evidence-based approaches. I have practiced across a spectrum of settings. This, along with my own life experiences that led to an appreciation for the complexity of being human, and my attunement with my clients are what I believe to be at the core of my effectiveness.

It takes courage to face life's challenges. Do you want to face what's challenging you but aren't sure what to do? Whether you are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, or coping with trauma, I welcome the opportunity to work with you to transform challenges into opportunities.

I believe that everyone deserves an environment where they feel comfortable enough to discuss their beliefs and feelings without judgment. I apply several theoretical orientations such as, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory in my practice to best meet my clients' individual needs. I work on building a strong therapeutic relationship using empathy and non-judgmental, goal-oriented approaches which assist client's treatment outcome.

Hello! I'm so glad you've landed on my page. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, I'm here for you. I aim to create a safe, authentic environment centered around your comfort, goals, and needs.

I work with individuals and couples seeking positive changes and healing in their life. This includes addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. I help clients who are overwhelmed by distressing emotions, feeling trapped, and experiencing conflicts internally and in relationships. I support, guide, and educate clients, and help them find relief, joy, and purpose in living. Together, we work to build awareness and emotional resilience. Clients develop tangible coping skills while assessing their values and learning to care for what is most important, with renewed interest and appreciation.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you often feel anxious, even when things are going smoothly? Do you have a lot to be grateful for, but find it hard to feel satisfied? Do you notice frustrating patterns in your life, or often wonder about your purpose? The world around us is fast and overwhelming. We might find ourselves feeling alone or unable to process experiences from our past, present, or thoughts about our future. As a therapist, I provide a place to slow down and explore; to better understand yourself, your choices, and what you want from your life.

As a clinical psychologist, people contact me for psychotherapy when experiencing emotional pain or distress, within themselves and sometimes their relationships. This pain can feel stuck and take on a life of its own, with ways of coping that no longer seem to be working. Yet the person feels ready for a change - ready to begin a process of growth and healing. Couples approach me for relationship therapy who struggle with disconnection, miscommunication, reactivity - couples stuck in negative patterns. These couples are ready for a change, ready for greater intimacy, security and connection in their most important relationship.

Do you regularly find that the demands in your life make you feel caught - or hooked - in imperfect situations? Do you want to improve the relationships in your life? Improve your physical and mental health and develop meaningful relationships with your family. Most of us do, but sometimes, our day-to-day actions don't align with these intentions and goals. Rather than remaining trapped by your circumstances, patterns and thoughts, isn't it time to move forward and take action?

My belief is that mental health is just as important as physical health, and that people can learn daily exercises to keep their mental health in check. I also believe the therapist/client relationship is one of trust and no judgment. I give each client my undivided attention and allow for open and honest communication.

Art therapy can access the mind, body, and emotions in ways that are distinct from verbal expression alone. At Indigo, we love empowering people to discover and harness their own creativity for healing. Common therapeutic goals at Indigo Art Therapy may include coping with anxiety and stress, managing strong feelings, healing from trauma, improving self-expression and communication, creating emotional awareness and adaptability, developing insight and self-compassion, and nurturing healthy relationships and boundaries. Art skills are not necessary to benefit from art therapy. Progress can happen through scribbles and stick figures.
