Self Esteem Therapists in Polk County, FL

Working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is more than a profession or career choice for me. I recognize this as a true calling. I believe that most people want to live their "best possible life". They just need someone to join them on their life journey to help them become the best possible version of themselves. There is hope for every seemingly hopeless situation. Many times individuals just need a space to feel heard. I would love the opportunity to walk along with you as you discover there is hope and resources available to help you reach your personal goals.

Providing telehealth sessions for females only. Please EMAIL me for quickest response. Have you ever struggled with something in life that you never thought you would have to deal with?

It’s tough when you’re dealing with depression, self-doubt, anger, relationship struggles, grief, or trauma from your past. You might feel lost, stuck, or like you're carrying the weight of it all alone. You want things to feel different—better—but don’t know where to start. Therapy can help. Together, we’ll take the time to explore what’s behind those feelings, find ways to manage them, and work toward lasting change. Taking small steps toward change is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Life doesn’t have to feel this hard. If anxiety, depression, panic, or past trauma are weighing you down, it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed or just plain exhausted. You’re probably doing your best to manage, but maybe things still feel like they’re too much. I get it. This isn’t about needing to "fix" yourself; it’s about discovering ways to handle these challenges so you can grow into a version of yourself that feels stronger and more at peace.

Are you often on edge—angry, irritable, or withdrawn from the people you love most? Do you feel disconnected in your marriage, like roommates instead of partners, or carry the weight of being blamed for everything that’s wrong? Maybe you’ve cried out to God for help, but nothing seems to change—and now, even He feels distant. You’re exhausted, discouraged, and wondering if this is really all life has to offer
