Therapists in Sarasota County, FL

I have worked for almost 15 years as a therapist and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. I am especially passionate about my extensive work with trans and gender-expansive clients and their family members. My empathic, non-judgemental style allows my clients safety in navigating coming out, transitioning and understanding themselves better through a lens of self-compassion. I am well versed in writing letters of support for trans-affirming medical care and have an established resource referral network. Let me help to guide you on the path to your authentic self.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than 30 years experience in the field of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a powerful cognitive behavioral technique and an Associate Fellow of the Albert Ellis Institute. I teach people to become their own happier healthy self. My practice is focused on active-directive strategies to help people gain stability and mental flexibility. In the last 18 years, I have found that the combination of cognitive behavioral talk therapy and/or a complimentary psycho-physiological therapy, EEG Biofeedback or Neurofeedback, has been the most robust evidenced-based interventions I have used in my years of practice.

Have you been struggling to fix things on your own or hoping they’ll just get better?

Do you struggle with low mood, anxious thoughts, or traumatic memories or are you the parent of a struggling teen? I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with their self-worth and emotional regulation. Therapeutic intervention with a trained professional can help you gain a sense of stability and confidence in your life. Together we can work on empowering you and improving your relationships by expanding on your own innate strength and resilience. In our work, we will use evidence-based interventions to address issues that are causing you the most difficulty and help you create a life full of your core values.

Approval seeking, bad relationships and addictions keep us from living out our true potential, but they're not the real problem. Many practitioners provide a long list of conditions, diagnoses and symptoms they treat. Frankly, I'm not all that interested in symptoms: I want to help you figure out why you've been using the same strategies for years and expecting different results. If you want to stop waking up every morning and hoping that somehow - today - your life is somehow going to be different, you've got to DO something different.

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. Best that we first meet individually to gain the unique perspective that each of you have in the relationship. You recognize that issues need to be addressed so take that time individually to speak your mind about what you feel is happening in the relationship. Then you as a couple can work together towards achieving a more satisfying relationship for both of you.

I help adults and teens who are really struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and difficult situations. I'll help you create the change you need to live a more fulfilling life. We'll work together to address and change the behaviors necessary to reduce or eliminate your symptoms. My areas of expertise include chronic depression and/or anxiety. My personal mission is to helping people find their inner strength and use it to live their best life.

Many of us struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Facing challenging decisions, navigating intimate relationships and family, and carrying too many responsibilities can be overwhelming and often too difficult to work though alone. Unresolved issues and traumas can lead to feeling "stuck" rather than taking steps towards finding solutions and healing. Many people resort to "quick fixes" when feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed, instead of addressing the root cause of the pain and discomfort. My experiences and training allow me to help you find tools within yourself to discover new perspectives and cultivate new skills.

Experiencing betrayal from a spouse's affair or pornography addiction, experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or other painful life circumstance can be devastating and traumatic.

You are not alone and there is hope for recovery and healing!

Has your world been blown apart by the discovery of an affair and/or pornography addiciton? You can feel lost, alone, hopeless, and confused. There is hope. You are not alone.

We have a comprehensive program designed to help both the wounded spouse and the offending spouse navigate through and heal from what has happened. Whether you are staying together, divorcing, or unsure of what you want for the future, there is hope and healing for you!

*NOT CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS* Welcome to my psychology practice. Intimate relationships are challenging for just about everyone. Keeping a passionate connection alive over time requires unique skills, persistence and determination. I work with individuals and couples who wish to deepen emotional or sexual intimacy, improve communication, strengthen their romantic bond, heal from affairs, and folks who feel addicted to pornography or other sexual outlets, as well as depression, irritability, anxiety, etc. Probably the best way to get a sense of me quickly is to read my Psychology Today blog, The Future of Intimacy.

Are fear, anxiety or traumatic experiences keeping you from achieving the happiness and success that you want?" Do you suffer from excessive worry, fear, anxiety or traumatic stress?" I have helped many people overcome these types of problems to live happier and more fulfilling lives and welcome the opportunity to help you identify and overcome your obstacles so that you can live the more fulfilling life that you deserve.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to build a happy and meaningful life. Many of us fall into patterns of behavior that create roadblocks to personal growth. These patterns are often related to communication, negative thoughts, and relationships. I love to see clients grow through self-awareness and begin to take charge of their future. I work with individuals, couples, and families to identify short- and long-term goals that set the stage for success. Setting goals sounds simple but in most cases people need a little help to identify what’s really important to them.

Are you looking for help managing your daily life, making decisions, regulating your emotions or behaviors, navigating social interactions or relationships, and achieving your goals? Do you have a vision for your life but there is something holding you back? I believe everyone has the ability to reach their goals on their own. However, it can be difficult to ignite our potential when we are faced with stress, anxiety, depression or life obstacles.

I came into the field of school psychology through my teaching career in New York City. I became fascinated with child development through my years of having conversations with children, and I wanted to learn more about how their minds worked so I could help them define their problems and begin to explore ways to help them to find solutions. I have worked with students of all ages for more than 35 years as a school psychologist, as well as a teacher of general and special education. My experience gives me a unique perspective to conduct psychological and diagnostic evaluations for students with academic and behavioral challenges.

For over a decade I have specialized in therapy with children age 0-17, families, and couples, while also providing qualified supervision of registered mental health counseling interns. I received my Master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University, and have provided therapy for families and couples in their homes, outpatient office settings, and in my private practice.

Are you or a loved one struggling with stress, anxiety or depression? Are your coping skills helping or hurting you? In life, we all experience times when we struggle whether it be with guilt, shame, grief/loss, relationship issues or adjustment to change. With a little help, we can move through this and get to a brighter life. In the 20 years I have been a therapist I have helped many people with these issues. One of my favorite quotes is “If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. If you want something different, do something different.” Counseling is the process that can help with this.
