Grief Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

The decision to start therapy takes courage. Often the idea of talking about personal thoughts and emotions can be anxiety-inducing for both children and adults. As an art therapist and licensed mental health counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and accepting outlet to explore emotions through the creative process. Combining artmaking with verbal processing can increase self-awareness, reduce stress, and encourage healthy expression. For adolescents, art therapy can provide a supportive way to navigate personal challenges, peer conflicts, and life transitions that may be difficult to process in traditional talk therapy settings.

What just happened to our world? Managing one's life and dealing with transitions takes on a whole new meaning but can still be effectively accomplished. My diverse practice (teens, adults, professionals, students) allows me to work with varied backgrounds, cultures & education levels. I have had success with treating with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship & family issues through behavioral changes, insight, re-gaining perspective (especially now) & goal adjustments. A strong and effective partnership between therapist and client is still important. I also believe that humor can be a handy secret weapon can be useful.

Some often say we should stay active to maintain our physical health. I believe therapy is a way of getting active in maintaining positive mental health. We all endure many struggles in our lives and seeking help is the first step to overcome those burdens. I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and believe in providing a warm, comfortable, and nonjudgmental space while developing a strong rapport with each client. In order to make the healing process most rewarding, I believe that displaying empathy and offering strategies are key along with understanding each client’s background, history, thoughts, and values.

Life is a journey filled with great joy and sorrow. There can be many challenges that are difficult to manage alone. As a counselor, it is a gift to accompany people along this journey! To help people transform experiences of trial into opportunities for greater transformation. I strive to collaborate with my clients in order to establish goals as well as honor their dignity and uniqueness as a human person. I recognize that each person is a part of a whole and it is important to understand one’s family context, education, friendships, spirituality, career, etc. My hope is to help clients not just survive, but learn to flourish.

I firmly believe that people are amazingly complex and that there is no cookie-cutter approach that will solve everyone's unique challenges. By working through situations with a focus on lifestyle, faith, values, and overall wellness, I have found that dramatic changes can occur in someone's life.

My idea clients range from early adulthood to age ninety (90). Most seek to work with me because they have relationship challenges, mood issues or anxiety. Most couples who attend will seek to improve their relational skills such s better communication, revitalized positive emotions toward each other, or to resolve conflicts. Individuals who attend tend to have depression, anxiety or general unhappiness and wish to discover a more peaceful and calm manner of living. Frequently, families going through divorce will also seek support to deal with the challenges from resolving parenting or co-parenting issues, or improve live changes.

The saying, "New year, new you" often falls flat without the support you need to make changes. If you've made it this far, to look for a therapist, I applaud you. Finding a therapist is like trying on new shoes, you have to find a good fit but when you find it, it's so worth it. I offer affordable services because you are worth my time and mental health is not a luxury but a necessity for growth. My self-pay fees $80/hour or $40/half an hour.

I believe in a strength based approach which means every client has a natural strength that can be used to improve upon any situation. My goal is to help clients identify and utilize the skills they already possess. Therapy approaches I often use to achieve this goal are EMDR, CBT, motivational interviewing, etc. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to process through trauma. We have all experienced it at least once in our lives, and I love working with clients seeking to process and overcome these experiences. I practice a judgement free environment and enjoy learning as much from my clients as they learn from me.

I am a certified Imago relationship therapist. I specialize in relationship work, and my style is collaborative. I believe that my clients are looking for three things when they come into my office: 1-Encouragement that their pain or negative situation will lessen or end, 2-An opportunity to be heard and validated for their feelings and experiences, 3-A plan of action to improve their lives. My clients often report that they feel empowered after working with me. I offer more than one solution to a problem so that my clients may choose the one that best suits them.

One of my favorite quotes is "sometimes, when you are in a dark place, you think you've been buried, but you've actually been planted". Emotional pain can be so overwhelming that we feel unable to get out of the dark places by ourselves. Trying to navigate trauma, anxiety, hopelessness and stressful relationships, can create fear, doubt and shame to take up too much space in our lives. The way to healing and restoring the body, mind and spirit can feel challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone.
