Relational Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

I am currently accepting new clients for individual, couple, and family therapy. It is my goal to create an inclusive and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, worries, and fears regarding yourself and your relationship. If you choose to work with me, you will find my approach to therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental, and experiential.

There are times in life when it feels like things are simply falling apart. Trauma and life stressors can leave us feeling alone and shattered, but trying to pick up the pieces can be overwhelming. Do you have experiences that you've tried to talk through but nothing helps or maybe the past is too difficult to speak out loud. Have you lost touch with parts of yourself that are creative, joyful and confident? Whether you just experienced a traumatic event or are recovering from years of stress, there is hope and the possibility for change! Mosaic Creative Counseling helps create something beautiful out of these broken pieces.

Struggling with mental health issues is hard. Whether it's depression, anxiety, loneliness, a family issue, or spiritual concern, our issues leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. The last thing you want when you're experiencing hardship is another piece of advice telling you what to do. You already have the ability to make necessary change but may need a little extra support to get you there. I offer an inviting, warm, and encouraging therapy environment to come alongside and extend my partnership to assist you in meeting your therapy goals.

We all experience struggles from time to time that may leave us feeling overwhelmed, or numb and disconnected. Whether you are recovering from trauma, experiencing relationship difficulties, seeking insight, or needing a safe space to work through difficult emotions- therapy can help you forge a new way forward while collaborating with a caring clinician. Although starting therapy can feel a bit scary, it is a worthy process.

My specialties of couples therapy, aging clients, divorce adjustment and coparenting, and men's issues. . Most couples who attend will seek to improve their relational skills such as better communication, revitalized positive emotions toward each other, or to resolve conflicts. 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. For years I have worked with men's issues which range greatly from relational problems to attaining their goals of identity.

I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing these feelings and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

Growth is not linear and change can be difficult, especially if we are trying to do it on our own. Feeling disconnected from ourselves and others can be the first step of change to living a life that feels true to you. On the journey of self-discovery, we often need another perspective in order to change our reality; therapy can be a way to get there. Therapy is a tool that can be used to help you find your most authentic self and live life unapologetically. In finding what works for you we will develop new skills that will contribute to your ideal life. I would be happy to assist you in creating a life that is authentic to you.

My therapy style is collaborative and client centered. I believe each person is unique and has their own story, their own challenges and their own needs. I approach therapy from a humanistic perspective and use a variety of methods to help my clients. I have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I am open to working with my clients using the tools and methods they find most useful. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to help them find solutions to challenges, improve their well-being and support them in their journey.

An ideal client is someone who is dedicated to putting in the work necessary to facilitate lasting changes in their lives. Clients embark on a therapeutic journey that leads them to a deeper, richer, more secure and more grounded relationship with themselves. Once clients are able to attain feelings of authenticity and peacefulness within themselves, they are in a far better position to enrich and enhance the lives of people around them. I partner with my clients, no matter where they are when they start this journey, and I am at their side every step of the way.

I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental safe place to explore, process, and heal. You might not feel like it, but you are stronger than you know. I will be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, your support in times of stress. I will also challenge the old ways of thinking and doing things.
