Therapists in Orange County, FL

It's difficult enough to find a therapist! Questions such as "Will they understand?" "Will they care?" "How can they help me?" Are just a few that might've already crossed your mind. If you are searching for a judgment free space to process past problems, ways to decrease your anxious thoughts, healthier methods to learn how to decrease your feelings of sadness or depression, or a relationship therapist then I may be the therapist for you!

I specialize in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder. My model is extremely safe and non invasive. It is 98% successful for patients who remain in treatment for 6 months or more. It focuses on the trauma not being the fault of the patient, safety for the patient, and taking back control of one's life that the trauma has taken away. I also treat most other psychiatric and counseling problems. I see patients of all ages. In addition to solution focused trauma work, I am an accomplished family therapist and use mindfulness based cognitive therapy to promote progress.

I believe that a relationship of comfort, trust, and genuine interest between you and me is vital to working on any issue. I also believe that your behavior or way of thinking can be best understood in the context of your past and current circumstances. I try to thoroughly understand my patients and then help them to develop tools they can use to better manage life’s challenges. I believe that partners and family members can overcome most difficulties by taking the time to truly understand each other’s needs and wants.

My mission is to assist others with becoming their true selves by helping explore within to find their inner strengths. When we allow inner strengths to shine we can change ourselves for the better, overcome obstacles and be who we were meant to be. Whether it's facing your difficult past or planning your bright future, I'm here to help. I greatly value the therapeutic relationship. Once this relationship has been established, the individual can feel comfortable to address more personal issues in a confidential and respectful environment. I assist with teaching the tools needed to manage thoughts which will then manage behaviors.

I get it, asking for help can be one of the most scary things you do. It is normal to think: “Do I really need help? Will I just be misunderstood and be told what to do?” When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life.

My approach to counseling is based on the integration of my professional psychological training and personal experience. I personally have overcome abuse and addictions in my own life. I believe we were created to live in healthy relationships and I love working with people to help them live closer to who they were designed to be. I believe that if we are able to experience healing within ourselves, we can live in relationship with others more freely and authentically.

Lets face it, we all have a lot on our minds. Maybe you're finding the way to deal with increased stress, anxiety, sadness/depression, life changes, and more. I am dedicated to counseling women, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing some of these challenges and empowering them towards growth and healing. I work best with individuals who are looking to sort things out and are motivated towards becoming their best self.

My goal is to provide a safe space to openly explore barriers that can prevent my clients from maintaining lasting joy in their lives. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved. My mission is to help my clients find wholeness and know their inherent worth. I have worked with children, families, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, and hospice. As well as teenage girls, as they navigate healing concerns such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, learning disabilities, and self-esteem.

When working with clients, I aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can openly express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I know that seeking out counseling can be extremely daunting for some. Navigating areas of your life that may be creating strain is often uncomfortable and even unfamiliar. Working with me will feel very collaborative as I want to help uncover strengths, address challenges, and help guide you on a journey of self-exploration and personal growth.

Making the decision to see a therapist is hard and often confusing. Maybe you have started to question your own strength, wondering why you are finding it difficult to solve your problems now. Perhaps you are feeling more worried than usual or maybe sadness has become too familiar. You are not alone. I can help you rediscover your strengths to overcome your challenges.
