Family Therapy in Polk County, FL
In our therapeutic work I will support you to develop a strong positive relationship with yourself, which is your foundation for thriving in every other area of your life: partnership, friendship, family, work, creativity, spirituality.
Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

I am a clinical fellow of American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and some of my specialty areas include: Substance Addiction/Abuse - Certified DUI Treatment Provider in Polk County; Conduct Court-Ordered Drug Evaluations and Domestic Violence Evaluations; Marital Issues (Including communication and infidelity); Depression/Anxiety; and Spiritual Issues
Since I have been doing counseling/therapy for 40+ years, I am very familiar with many approaches and theories.

I believe that true healing happens when we look within ourselves and learn to accept who we are as a person. As we learn to minimize our weaknesses by recognizing our strengths, we grow in the process.
