In Person Therapists in Minneola, FL

I have been working in this field for over twenty two years, and I truly enjoy helping people to improve their lives. I assess the needs of the individual, couple, and/or family, and work with them in a creative way to guide and support a person's committment for change. Everyone has different challenges in their life, and at times it is difficult to manage those transitions individually. I encourage clients to improve communication, rebuild healthy relationships, and increase a person's coping skills after they experienced a life changing event or transition.

I have a passion for watching people grow. I love to see people recognize patterns that are not serving them any longer, and learning new skills to meet life's challenges. My clients are seekers, and it is an honor to walk with them on their journey.

I am a Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) therapist. ART is an innovative and evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals rapidly resolve and overcome the effects of trauma and distressing experiences in as quick as one session. One of the key features of ART is its ability to provide a swift resolution to traumatic memories without the need for individuals to relive or retell their stories. It is particularly appealing to those who may find traditional talk therapies challenging or time-consuming. ART can be used for a variety of problems such as PTSD, OCD, addictions, anxiety, depression, and grief.

As a Self-Proclaimed Misfits’ Therapist and LGBTQIA+ Ally, I understand the struggles of high anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression/suicidal ideation that come with living a life incongruent to one's true self.
