Therapists in Lakewood Ranch, FL
Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or stuck? Let me help you identify and make changes that will move you toward emotional health. As a licensed therapist and psychiatric physician assistant, I am uniquely qualified to provide psychotherapy and prescribe medications that help you restore mental wellness. Psychotherapy creates a confidential and safe space to reflect on our lives, learn more about ourselves, identify obstacles, adopt new strategies and make changes. For some, the addition of psychiatric medication further helps to rebalance and optimize brain functioning.

As a therapist I support people who feel stuck feeling chronically frustrated and misunderstood; move from feeling unmotivated or bored to overwhelmed in different areas of life.You may feel very alone and no one else has a clue. You may constantly feel worried, think of “what ifs”, or worst case scenarios, and that’s when the spiraling cycle begins. You never feel content, as if you took the wrong train in life. It is almost impossible to explain to people that you are in a constant state of despair so you keep it to yourself because it is safer but also very lonely. I help people to feel a little bit less crazy about their lives.

Life can be hard, and it’s easy to feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, or off-balance as we navigate the challenges of being human. During those times, we need a safe space where we feel seen and heard, where we are encouraged to experience our emotions, where we can be ourselves. Ted Lasso reminded us to “be curious, not judgmental”. For me, that is what therapy is all about. Being present and listening, without judgment. Therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing” something that’s “broken”. Sometimes, the work is more about awareness, insight, self-exploration, or acceptance. We get curious, we ask questions, we explore. Together.

I have a love of social justice advocacy and consider it an essential part of my role as a mental health therapist. I aim to empower clients to look to their personal experiences as a source of resilience through a humanistic, strength-based approach to counseling while encouraging clients to view mental wellness from a holistic perspective. I enjoy incorporating elements of mindfulness into my clinical work with all ages. My approach to counseling considers the intersectional nature of lived experience and the ways our diverse identities inform how we view ourselves.

One of the bravest things you can do is live life on your own terms. It can be challenging to make that first phone call, but I hope you can take a moment into the first step to experience yourself in new ways. I am here to support you through that process. Society fills our head with ideas on how you are “supposed” to be/act/feel/show up. I believe that each person has a unique story and journey they are on but the one thing that stays consistent is that we are most happy when we are in tune with our own inner world living from the core of who we are.

You recently discovered that the one person you trusted most in the world has been hiding a secret life. Now, you feel like your heart has been shattered into a million pieces and you don’t know how to put it back together again or even if it can be. You have never known this kind of devastating pain and panic. You haven’t slept in days. You can’t eat. You can’t stop the tears. You feel so alone but you can’t reach out to friends or family for fear they will judge, not understand, or worse hate your spouse when you so desperately hope your marriage can be saved. I get it. I can help you heal.
