Therapists in Land O Lakes, FL

Tired of not feeling like yourself? Tired of feeling stuck? I know exactly how you feel because I've been there. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and provide therapy to individuals looking to positively transform their lives. I will provide you with a warm, compassionate, and judgement-free space where you can heal from past hurts and discover a new version of yourself. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of counseling and am dedicated to help you achieve all of your therapy goals. I am not just about a quick fix but about helping you gain the insight you need to live a more empowered life.

During these times many of us are feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope with new stressors. Our relationships with the environment, each other, and ourselves have dramatically shifted. In reaching out we no longer have to struggle alone. Therapy can be a useful tool to help us find clarity, stability, and understanding. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and offer virtual counseling sessions. I utilize cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based strategies to help empower you to meet your goals.

As a dedicated mental health clinician, I specialize in providing compassionate support to individuals (adults and adolescents) who are battling anxiety, depression, and facing challenges in adapting to life changes. With a genuine passion for helping others, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where my clients can openly express their thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and mentally healthy life, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care to those in need. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards healing and personal growth.

I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have been working with individuals and families for over 32 years. Over the span of my career, I have worked as a Bi-vocational professional as a Pastor and as a Counselor in the community. I have worked with many populations: Severe and Persistent Mentally Ill, Homeless, At Risk Youth, Adolescents, Foster Care Families, Abused Children, School Age Children, Fatherhood, Parenting, Marriages in trouble, Divorce, and couples. I am a Certified Trauma Professional and specialize in working with survivors of traumatic experiences, PTSD, Bipolar / Mood Disorders, and RAD.

I take pride in creating a warm and empathetic environment for each client I see. I hold great value in the power of being heard, seen, and validated for your emotional experiences. I guide my clients to gain personal insight and clarity to better navigate life and relationships. I join my clients on their journey to work through the negative effects of depression, anxiety, stressful life events, and transitions. I guide couples to a place of better connection and communication to enhance the relationship's bond. To accomplish this, it is of the utmost importance to have trust and consistency between the therapist and client.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? The anxiety, the worry, the overthinking- it’s all so exhausting. The stress is keeping you up at night. Those “what if’s” just won’t go away. You don’t know what to do, it’s hard to focus, and the people around you are noticing something is wrong. You snap when you don’t mean to. It’s so hard to express yourself, and that just brings up more worry about how they’re going to react if you do. You don’t want to feel sick to your stomach anymore. You just want some peace- even though it’s hard to remember what that looks like. You want to be able to enjoy and live your life.

Too often we are expected to travel through life's journey without acknowledging the incredible demands of self-exploration, healing, and discovery. Our world has taught us to believe that if we cannot see hurt, aches, pain, or trauma, then it must not be there. I invite you to challenge this belief and acknowledge that mental health is health, too. Traumas are more often than not invisible, only to be seen when someone is struggling on the outside. It is imperative to pay attention to the obstacles we cannot see.

Are you looking for relief, hope, or to just be heard? I know what it can be like to search for help in moments of desperation. It can be hard to wait as you get connected with the right resources when things feel like they're falling apart. Whether you're a college student with career concerns and managing stress, a teenager full of social anxiety, or a wife with nowhere to bring your hurt, this is the place for you.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you feel hopeless or unworthy of love? Whether you are a teen or an adult, I am here to tell you that YOU deserve a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning! I work with adolescents and adults that are experiencing depression, anxiety, and/or trauma that is inhibiting their everyday lives.
