Female Therapists in Punta Gorda, FL

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.

I have had the privilege of having a thriving private practice for the past 24 years supporting individuals and families as they navigate life's challenges. I foster authentic, trusting relationships with clients to develop a personalized treatment plan and therapeutic approach to achieve the goals of the individual. I commit to providing clients a confidential, supportive and non judgmental environment to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors, working in a solution focused manner towards attainable goals generated by you.

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?

No matter where you go, there you are! Change is often hard.

Some of those issues may be depression, relationships, marriage, divorce, anxiety, stress, trauma, or abuse. My passion is healing. My goal is to help you develop better coping skills for dealing with whatever circumstances have gotten you stuck and unable to move forward in your life and relationships.

Have you lost your umph? Have you begun to struggle managing that never ending list of to-do's and responsibilities? Uncertain of your life direction or simply feeling overwhelmed?

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.

If you have struggled with your weight and tried every diet that comes online, you are my client! My clients are usually borderline diabetic and struggle with weight loss and belly fat. I treat my clients from a nutritional and coaching mindset. Now with new scientific research, we know that it takes more than just "saying no" to extra portions. We know it takes getting your body chemistry back in line, by righting the ghrelin and leptin systems. What's that? Become a patient and you will find out. Oh, and did I tell you I have a 100% success rate? And mental health improves as well! Good Food equals a Good Mood!

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?

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.

Too often, we equate caring for our mental and emotional health with weakness and failure - especially when we're taught that our "strength" is based on our ability to handle the stresses of everyday life without "cracking".

Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing individual and couples therapy. Couples can run into some uncharted areas of their lives that can be a real hurdle to overcome.

Then you as a couple can work together towards achieving a more satisfying relationship for both of you.
