Spirituality Therapists in Lakeland, FL

Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

As a client of mine, you will reclaim your life by focusing on pulling your issues from the root so that they never occur again. I will walk you back to wholeness and health, leaving things such as the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, motivation, and family and relationship issues in the past. I also use the wonderful powers of your mind, body, and spirit to enhance your memory, sports performance, optimism, spirituality , ability to focus and more.

My clients usually want to feel better faster & learn mind-body-energy-spirit tools rather than rely on medication or even talk therapy long-term. Too often society gives us the message we are a victim of our genes or biochemistry. That makes us believe that healing our heart, brain and body is out of our control, and that our only options are drugs and surgeries. The latest science (neuroplasticity, epigenetics, quantum biology, consciousness studies+) suggests otherwise, showing that our brain, bodily mechanisms, even our genes, respond to our healthy changes in thinking and feeling. Shift our mind, our emotions and life follow.

I believe wholeness consists of 3 intertwined areas of health: spiritual, mental, and physical. My desire is to assist you in achieving and thriving at your greatest potential. What is keeping you from being who you were designed to be? Maybe you've hit a few bumps in the road and have lost your footing or your path. Maybe its a lot of bumps, or maybe they are hills or even mountains. It is in those seasons we need a fresh set of eyes, renewed inspiration, and motivational encouragement to help us get back on track.

My ideal client is an individual who needs support with self-awareness from past trauma, take psychoeducation of attachment, communication, boundaries, and family/culture dynamics, clx would participate in EMDR and gestalt empty chair, clx would do relaxation techniques inside and outside of therapy, and would read books based on current problems/issues recommended.

Each day can be a new beginning. Learning to live and manage your life effectively can be accomplished with the right kind of help. As an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor I have successfully worked with a wide range of individuals including adolescents, adults and couples who have found their new beginning. In my counseling practice I specialize in helping individuals who are experiencing issues related to low self-esteem, depression, anger, phobias, anxiety, worry, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship issues and much more.

**WAITLIST FOR NEW CLIENTS** Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

Contrary to popular belief, therapy isn’t just for those in trouble. It can actually be a “think tank” utilized by wholesome individuals to jumpstart their next massive maneuver. Having someone bound by confidentiality to help you process life, it's stressors, or barriers is invaluable.

Partnering with my clients in a therapeutic, non-judgmental, loving way is the foundation of my approach. Biofeedback or more specifically Neurofeedback is an evidenced based approach used to help people who have experienced trauma heal. I have and utilize an amazing system to improve the performance of brains in need of healing. I have experience addictions, trauma, the Florida child welfare system, adoptions, and grief.
