Adults Therapists in Audubon Park, Orlando, FL

Now Accepting Virtual Clients in 39 states! Check my website to see if I'm practicing near you. Congratulations! Your search landed you on the page of a trauma-informed, compassionate, and affirming psychologist. A proud Morehouse Man, my journey has taught me that life can hard and the road to success can be lonely-especially in settings that lack diversity. This is further complicated when asking for help is frowned upon because of cultural mistrust and expectations. Hesitation or unwarranted self-appraisal can result when, instead, you should be celebrating your many accomplishments, your strength and undying resiliency!

Hello! If you are reading this you have stepped out of your comfort zone and you are exploring who you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. I would be honored to work with you along your process. I can provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions so you can manifest a shift in your perspective and develop the clarity, growth, and peace you seek. I am passionate about this work. My own curative journey has led me to explore a whole-person approach: mind, body, soul. I find Mental Wellness Care to be such a vital component of our whole well-being and our overall human experience.

I work with both couples and individuals. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress/anxiety, self worth/love/acceptance, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting, vocational stress, among other daily life stressors. Most of my clients define their reason for coming to therapy as simply wanting something more from life and relationships. Often having trouble getting past thoughts and emotions that prevent them from moving forward. We will work together to get to the core of your troubling thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This allows you to move forward to a more fulfilling life of purpose and direction.

I provide individual, family and couples therapy in English and Russian languages. Are you struggling with uncertainty? Are your relationships at risk or in conflict? Could you use some support navigating unforeseen circumstances? These are just a few of the common issues I address in a non-judgmental, confidential space. The work we do together will be collaborative and targeted to meet the unique goals you identify. I am trained in Gottman model, use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family System and life coaching. I also integrate art therapy and equine assisted therapy in my work with individuals, couples and families.

Life can be incredibly challenging at times. It often leaves us asking questions like: "why me", or "am I good enough"? It is just as easy to make the assumptions that "I'm always going to be this way", or "maybe this is what I deserve". Those questions and assumptions become louder when we wrestle with them in isolation.

Becoming a mother is a huge and wonderful transformation. AND you may be feeling lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. It's common to struggle mentally and emotionally during pregnancy and postpartum. Almost every part of your life is changing and you are doing your best to cope. Know that your experience as a mother matters. You deserve to enjoy motherhood just like your baby deserves to enjoy childhood. I help new and expectant moms find their way through these life changes so that they feel heard, supported, and cared for.

Our purpose is to help you on this journey by helping you get scheduled with a therapist that connects with your story.

When we are no longer able to change a situation-we are forced to change ourselves,” noted psychiatrist and holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl stated. Life can present a myriad of situations where we experience growth, but at times not without pain. When those situations get unmanageable, sometimes an unbiased third party can be an excellent solution. Perhaps your relationship is on the rocks or maybe depression, PTSD, or anxiety have rooted in you. You don’t have to struggle with these symptoms forever, we can work together to better manage and overcome them.

There are times when living with anxiety or depression feels like trying to make it through your day with a heavy weight on your chest. No one else can see it, but it’s making it difficult to think clearly, rest, and find joy in life. Daily tasks, such as going to work, maintaining relationships, or caring for yourself or your kids become overwhelming. You may feel trapped and at a loss for where to go from here. You aren’t alone if you feel lost or struggle to get through the day. We all need help at different points in our lives, that’s part of being human.

Do you feel as if the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again and you have no ability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing your distressing emotions, or even in understanding why you feel the way you do? I'm a psychotherapist specialized in trauma-focused treatments for adults, children, and adolescents. Each individual has inherent dignity and value, thus making them entitled to and worthy of the emotional healing they desire.

Many of us have gone through experiences that leave us feeling stuck, unmotivated, or without hope for change. The promise of psychotherapy is that it offers a path that illuminates the conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs we unknowingly come to identify with. It allows us a framework where insight becomes possible and then choice! Once you can recognize your patterns, you can choose a new way of being. In this sense, I believe we are partners working to understand your motivations, fears, and deepest hopes so that you can feel a greater sense of freedom and empowerment in your life and in your future.

If you are having unwanted thoughts and/or behaviors, or you are trying to cope with anxiety or a traumatic experience that is preventing you from leading a happier life, I would like to help. My goal is to help you attain more balance in life, enjoy more emotional freedom and discover your true potential. My services also include psychological evaluations and court appearance for immigration procedures. Our office is equipped with a team that specialize in financial coaching, female wellness, relationship counseling, adolescence, and the elderly in transition.

As an existential therapist, I believe that every person is unique and requires a personalized approach to therapy that is tailored to their individual needs and goals. I have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and people of color, and I understand the unique struggles and experiences that come with these identities. My training and experience in a variety of therapeutic modalities has provided me with a flexible and adaptive approach to therapy, which allows me to draw upon different techniques and theories (i.e.- ACT, CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, etc) to best meet the needs of my clients.

Welcome. I work extensively with clients struggling with panic, anxiety, overwhelm, and past trauma. It is possible to work through patterns that hold us back. It is possible to heal. Whether you are here for yourself or your relationship, I'm glad you reached out for help.
