Therapists in College Park, Orlando, FL

My specialty is with the differential identification and evaluation of children, adolescents, college students, and adults for Specific Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, & Dyscalculia), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), and Giftedness/Very High Intelligence (IQ). I have experience and training in the evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and the educational/learning implications of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). My goal is to figure out the underlying problem and identify treatments to improve performance and overall functioning.

Seeking therapy does not mean that you must be in crisis. So many individuals feel that they are not “sick enough” or your problems aren’t “severe enough” to seek treatment. Treatment is about being able to work through areas of your life that you might be getting stuck in and learning different tactics to address not waiting for the other shoe to drop to wait to get the help you need. You take the skills you learn in the therapist-client relationship and apply them into your life and your experiences. What freedom could you accomplish if you did not allow other’s narrative to shape your way?

Both my personal and company mission is to empower people of all ages to bravely live, love, and overcome. My goal is to equip clients with the courage, strength, and resiliency needed to fully engage in the lives they lead. This is accomplished through therapy, coaching, and small group work using resources and interventions that are both insight-oriented and grounded in research. My work is largely influenced by Brene Brown's research on shame, vulnerability, and wholehearted living as well as John Gottman's research on marriage and couple relationships.

It can be challenging to want to make a change, invest in yourself, try to view your life without judgment, and having no idea where to start. Truth be told, you don't need to know where to start, just that you want something to be different. Your willingness to examine yourself is what you bring to sessions and my experience and skill is where I meet you in those sessions. My role is to challenge you when you’re stuck and keep you accountable, providing education and practical skills to use in daily life, and support you through the discomfort of change and vulnerability - and to celebrate the successes that follow.

VIRTUAL SERVICES AVAILABLE from the comfort of your own home! Are you feeling burned out, overwhelmed or misunderstood?

Life right now can feel a bit lonely, chaotic, and uncertain. Whether you are navigating important life changes or the daily struggles of your own life, you don't have to walk this walk alone.

Are you at a point where just making it through the day feels like you are swimming against an endless current? Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry or just plain sad and even starting to wonder how, or if, things can change? Well YOU deserve to live a life of meaning and joy—my passion is to help you find it. Therapy that provides true relief goes further than simply talking about feelings. I believe in walking along side you, at your pace, to learn the steps necessary to get you back to feeling “you” again—or even discover pieces of yourself you never knew existed.

Starting therapy takes guts—it is a scary and vulnerable process. But confronting these fears is the first step towards creating the life you deserve. You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process. I bring my true self to the therapy room: blunt, honest, slightly crude, and very funny (as I said…honest).

Talking with a professional in a relaxed therapeutic space can help you gain insight and perspective about issues in your life that may feel overwhelming, depressing or even hopeless. Sometimes these feelings occur when faced with unexpected situations like the loss of a loved one, financial stress, relationship conflict, or negativity at work or with friends. As an experienced psychotherapist in Florida, I have success in helping adults lead more enriched, satisfying emotional lives. My practice is located in College Park between Winter Park and downtown Orlando. Special Offer: Free 15min Initial Phone Session for New Clients.

A lot of things may be running through your mind right now, "How do I find the right therapist?" "Can she actually help me?" "How can she help me if I'm not sure what's going on?" along with past experiences in therapy or this may be your first time trying to find the right fit. I help by supporting you in identifying the "why" of how you think, feel, and act and we work collaboratively to move you forward in your goals. We'll discuss immediate coping skills to help you through the day-to-day and we'll do additional work to resolve larger themes that may be contributing to you feeling unhappy, anxious, or stuck.

Relationship stresses, life -changing events, loss, feelings that are difficult to manage or challenges becoming the person you would like to be are some of reasons people choose to enter into therapy. The keys to a successful outcome include a good fit with your therapist as well as the willingness to take risks. I believe that the therapy relationship is a powerful healing tool, empowering people to make the desired changes in their lives. You name the demographic or the problem, and I've probably helped someone through that challenge. Might we be a good fit for your journey?
