Grief Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

When depression or anxiety takes over and loneliness sets in, it is understandable to feel hopeless. Sometimes even relationships can lead to unhappiness. In therapy, we will work to address these issues. Therapy is a journey of learning about your past and present self. This self-exploration helps open the doors to a fulfilling and meaningful life. I work with clients to help them understand their strengths and struggles, which creates a platform to achieve their goals. In order to do that, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a partnership and it is central to achieving significant progress.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. I use an integrated approach with emphasis in Emotional Focused Therapy which is a proven and empirical based practice effective with all types of therapy especially relationship therapy. Relationship issues can and do effect our mental state such as depression and anxiety. I help clients to gain insight to improve themselves and their relationships. This helps clients not only to address their current issues but gain tools and information for further development to building a healthier self and healthier relationship.

My approach to therapy is supportive, interpersonally individualized, and collaborative. Everything might look OK on the outside. But inside, it feels like you may be falling apart. My work is grounded in the belief that I am not an expert on clients' lives - they are, and we can work together. I work with many people who feel overwhelmed by stress, have lost a sense of meaning in their lives, or feel out of control. I value transparency, compassionate honesty, and appreciation for imperfections. I believe that the fit between client and clinician is vital in creating a working space that is safe and therapeutic.

We've all experienced a lot of stress these past 4 years. We've all felt the anxiety and stress from COVID and from the stress and conflict resulting from it, including the strain it has put on our relationships. Sometimes we all just need a trustworthy and confidential person to talk with about our stress. For over 20 years, I've provided a safe space for people to talk about their anxiety and fears. I listen attentively and without judgement. I work with you to find a way forward for you. I welcome all people regardless of age, gender, race, sexual preference, gender identity, faith, or ability to pay.

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.

Welcome! I'm currently accepting new clients for individual, couple, and family therapy. If you choose to work with me, you'll find my approach to therapy is collaborative, non-blaming, and focuses on empowering you to create a path in life that more authentically reflects your goals and values. While I specialize in couples therapy and working with individuals who struggle with self-esteem and anxiety, I believe that therapy is a resource anyone can utilize and benefit from. Therapy is a journey that will look different for everyone; everyone's story is unique, and sharing your story is the first step in action towards change.

My goal as a psychologist is to provide a safe, supportive, welcoming, and honest environment for my clients, so we can collaboratively work through the challenges they are experiencing and begin the process of healing. My counseling approach is warm and genuine, and I truly value my client’s individuality and unique personal and cultural experiences.

There are times in all of our lives when we could benefit from having a safe, non-judgmental space in which to share, problem-solve, and learn about ourselves. No matter what brings you to counseling, I hope to provide the opportunity for self-exploration, collaboration, and personal growth. In my practice, I work primarily with adults and specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationships, and life transitions.

At times life can be exceptionally challenging and our resilience can be tested. We might have tried everything to feel better and yet find ourselves struggling. Whether the challenge is an unexpected life event, a transition, feeling stuck in our past, unsure about the future, our relationships, or our own personal internal struggle, these challenges can impact our lives and functioning in unexpected ways that even the most resilient person can have difficulties coping with or processing. Therapy can be helpful in addressing life's difficulties and making our emotional pain transformative, and we don’t have to do this alone.

We all experience difficulties and rough spots at various times. An unbiased, objective perspective can help us manage difficulties, emphasize our strengths, and improve our overall well-being. Connecting with a qualified mental health professional can help us re-center and work through current challenges. In a private and supportive environment, we work closely with clients to enhance functioning and well-being. Using a strengths-based approach, we work with you to identify ways in which you can be more effective and centered in work, school, relationships and at home.

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.

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.

My goal is to provide you with a relaxed, supportive, safe environment that allows us to evaluate and understand the core beliefs that may be blocking a healthy response to life. Combining cognitive behavioral therapy with spiritual guidance,I integrate a spiritual perspective using prayer and God's word to help you find solutions to your problems.

We practice in an integrated practice setting to provide targeted medication-assisted treatment (MAT) intended to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, reduce cravings, and effectively diminish the compulsion to use substances that individuals often face.

We provide a “whole-patient” approach to treating substance use disorders.

I remember being a kid and looking forward to growing up. No matter how much my parents told me to slow down, I refused to listen! Looking back now I can see what they meant. Being an adult is awesome, but it can also be challenging at times, especially if you have kiddos. Regardless of your age maybe you are feeling the same way? Maybe life took a wrong turn, it's not living up to your expectations, your not living up to your expectations. Whatever feelings and thoughts you may be struggling with is what I am here for.

You've occupied invalidating spaces for too long and you're tired! You've tried to express your feelings and emotions to others only to hear, “it’s not that serious,” “you’re overacting,” or “get over it.” As such, you’ve adjusted your emotional responses and behaviors to appease others but are still left feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, hurt, lonely, and unheard. Your unmet needs and emotions are buried in your work, accomplishments, or going above and beyond to meet the needs of everyone else but yourself. It's time to share your life's story and explore how you ascribed meaning to challenging experiences.
