Infertility Therapists in Saint Augustine, FL

“You likely know what you would like to change or not change and have most of the tools to do it. Let’s work together to help you become unstuck.” This is the axiom that guides my work with you. You are the expert of your life and what matters to you. However, I also believe the more that we feel accepted for who we are now, the more likely we are to take those first steps toward change. This is why I strive to create a relational space in which you will feel safe, accepted and empowered. I have training in the following evidence based practices: Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Family Centered Treatment, CBT and TF-CBT.

I have worked with clients of all ages who have experienced an array of different difficulties that have affected their mental health, specifically specializing in grief and trauma.

Complicated relationships are my specialty. I work with partners, parents, adolescents, and families and am passionate about helping my clients create the lives and relationships they desire. Together, we define what success means to you and then formulate a plan that allows you to achieve that success. As a social worker in the public school system, I developed an affinity for working with adolescents. My practice has expanded to serve couples and families, helping to create stronger parents, partners, employees, and family systems.

Our sessions move quickly and dynamically, with an emphasis on insight and then transformational goals. To reach wholeness and happiness, we need to consider the mind, body and spirit. Health and wellness, as well as a client's belief system are especially intriguing to me: " If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them"

I'm a trauma trained therapist working in St. Augustine Florida. My goal is to help people heal from their past, improve their day to day lives, and create new goals for the future.

Connecting the mind and body is a huge part of my practice. I enjoy teaching others about mindfulness and meditation.

I have been blessed to work with children, adolescents and families for the past 20 years, in both clinical and faith-based settings. As a wife and mother of three wonderful children I understand the challenges that face both children and parents in this fast-paced world. By utilizing a multidimensional approach, the mind, body and spirit can be transformed to facilitate healing on all levels.

Connection is hard. It requires a level of vulnerability that opens us up to the very pain we’ve been trying to avoid. The thing about connection though, is that it is vital to every person’s emotional, sexual, and mental well-being. We can’t understand ourselves or feel close to others without it. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist, I offer a safe, honest, and affirming environment where you can feel comfortable exploring whatever holds you back from connecting with yourself and others. With you in the driver's seat, I can help you move towards a more fulfilling and integrated life.

I am passionate about relationships, sex & sexuality, chronic illness, disability, parenting, and anxiety. I enjoy discovering root causes and working towards a reconnection to the true self. Consciousness through contemplation can be accessed at any age and any stage. I accept each client as they are while challenging each person to face themselves and discover the power already inside of them. In my practice, I believe in the power of love, hospitality, honesty, and vulnerability.

With nearly 10 years of experience, I have learned severe emotional trauma occurs if trauma is long-standing, repeated, or targets an individual’s self-worth. Self-compassion is the ability to forgo self-blame in order to forgive oneself for imperfections, as well as natural and honest reactions to traumatic events. Self-compassion has been shown to decrease mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, shame) related to trauma, and increase positive psychological traits (happiness, joy). I utilize this approach alongside existential questions related to substance use, career choice, family issues, self-worth, and trauma.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults individually, in couples counseling, and in family therapy.

Are you having relationship difficulties? Caught in a negative perspective of your partner and your relationship? Having difficulty managing conflict? Caught in gridlocked, perpetual conflict? Feeling lonely and isolated? In a relationship where one or both of you are in recovery from addiction? Concerned about the effects of addiction on your children or family? Having difficulty with child behavior or parent-child conflict? If yes, I would like to help you and have the knowledge, the training, and the skills to do so.

Entering into therapy is a big step, and I feel that an important aspect of helping you to comfortably make this step is providing a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. People begin counseling because they want something to shift or change in their lives. I facilitate positive change by encouraging exploration, processing relevant issues with you, and helping you to identify healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms in your life with the purpose of changing those that are not adaptive.
