Couples Counseling Therapists in Punta Gorda, FL

The great poet Rumi wrote "out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." This quote really encompasses a therapeutic setting for me. A place where there is no judgement and you are heard with warmth and high regard. In my sessions you can be expect to be treated with kindness, empathy and be received with no judgement. This is my private practice, which means, you will not have a therapist turnover in a few months. I’m very personable and real. I will care about you.

Are you overwhelmed with your life and feel like you have to be everything to everyone? Do you have trouble setting boundaries and communicating in your relationships? How different would your life be if you were no longer struggling with stress and anxiety and able to conquer life's challenges as they come? What would it feel like to freely speak your thoughts and gain a new perspective from an impartial person? How different would you feel if you acquired a new coping skill to manage emotions during stress, or learned to communicate more effectively in your relationships? I am here to help you make this a reality.

For many people, faith is an integral part of their sense of wholeness. For clients who feel that way, I integrate faith into the experience of psychotherapy. Frequent issues that clients bring into counseling include relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, illness, and grief. But regardless the struggle, the integration of scientifically evidence-based practices alongside faith belief systems offer a holistic approach to therapy that many clients appreciate. Clients always have the option to exclude faith from their counseling experience.

Hello and welcome! Thank you for starting your healing journey! I have clinical experience working with clients of all ages, but primarily I have had the most experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults.

I also have experience caring for people who live with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, loss/grief, LGBTQ+ issues, and dual diagnosis.

Are you dealing with issues of anxiety, sadness or traumas that are interfering with you being the best you would like to be? Are fears adding to the mix? Perhaps you would be more comfortable in a telehealth setting! Do you like the idea of being in control of your therapy by partnering up with a therapist who guides you on a path to healing? Many clients present with highly stressful recent and past experiences and seek relief from pain. We would work together though the client/psychologist relationship to address the pain by identifying roots and setting up a plan to heal. Perhaps school or career/life issues need help?
