Therapists in Martin County, FL

No matter what you're experiencing, there is a way through. You are not alone. I'll listen (REALLY listen) and support you as you work toward whatever goal you choose for yourself or your child. My style is warm and caring, with unconditional positive regard for all clients. Although I've worked most of my career with youth (and still LOVE it), I've discovered that I also enjoy supporting parents and helping adult clients work though some of life's challenges so they can get back to living their best lives. Also, I have a passion for Christian counseling, which I offer upon request. I believe that nothing is impossible with God!

I specialize in working with women and girls (kids and teens) because there is nothing more fulfilling than seeing healing take place in a woman or girl’s heart. Whether I am working with a woman crushed by years of trauma, or a seemingly out-of-control teenage girl, or a child suffering from sadness or anxiety, I find such joy in creating sacred and safe space to do meaningful work.

My ideal client is one who struggles with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or relationships. Negative emotions are stifling and can cause our lives to spiral out of our control and allow internal pressures to build up. Life has ups and downs and when you experience depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, abandonment or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon to feel like your life is falling apart. I bring my passion for healing to my work. I am devoted to guiding you in healing change so you can restore meaning, purpose and connection back into your life. I care and treat you as a whole person. Hope is found here.

Do you need someone on "your side" in managing your interpersonal relationships? Do you have distress in dealing with a spouse, child or co-worker? If doing what you are doing now is not getting you the results you want, it may help to work with someone who can see your point of view and help you understand other people better. If you are "stuck" and troubled and need help in sorting out relationship issues, I can help as we insightfully explore how to make things better.

I feel and experience the best approach to healing is to heal mind and body as ONE. I am a somatic trained Trauma therapist. Trauma causes an overcharged nervous system, regulated by the mind and directed by the brain. When we work you will discharge traumatic experiences then the body can self-regulate to a reorganized state of aliveness. The brain rewires and the mind can let go of the attachment to pain and trauma. Focusing on goals and applying scientific approaches to mind/body trauma releases CORE traumatic injuries. IMAGINE change today.

We live in a world in which we must rely on relationships. The most common need I hear from clients is the desire to improve their personal and professional relationships. Improving these relationships goes a long way toward improving our own mental health. I have been helping individuals and families navigate important relationships and transitional times in their lives, by helping them find strengths within themselves to solve their problems. With a strong background in Organizational Development, I have worked with a variety of clients: from executives needing help organizationally to individuals finding their path in life.

Does your child get easily annoyed or nervous? Have difficulty handling frustration? Argue and throw tantrums? Maybe they often appear angry or you notice they are always putting the blame on others? Are these symptoms affecting not only your child but you and others in your household? Taking care of a child as he grows is certainly a formidable task. The various parent-child relationship problems one faces during this journey can be difficult. Realizing that children are trying their best to cope as well, is the key to being understanding, calm, and caring in helping take care of their problems.

Are you tired of being unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled? Is fear keeping you stuck? You know you were destined for more but something seems to be holding you back. Maybe you don't have the motivation anymore or you've forgotten who you really are. You know deep down that you can't go on like this. Imagine living your ideal life where you are truly happy and confident, feel fulfilled in your relationships, have your dream career, and are able to heal all of your past wounds. Imagine being the strong and powerful woman you were purposed to be. You are worthy of everything you desire.
