If you are concerned that your or your child's difficulties might be the result of undiagnosed or improperly treated ADHD and you are not sure where to start, then Focus of Tampa Bay is the answer you've been looking for. Early identification and proper treatment of ADHD is essential for optimal health and wellbeing.

I guide clients to gain insight, clarity and practical solutions to better navigate life. Together, we will explore finding a balance between feeling peaceful, living passionately, and having a sense of purpose. My approach is based on the belief that the quality of your life can be improved by focusing not only on your mind, but your body and soul as well. Struggling with uncomfortable feelings that seem unmanageable is common when dealing with stress. Self-esteem, self-worth, and well-being are often compromised by everyday experiences and relationships. Change is possible. **PRACTICE IS TELEHEALTH ONLY BEGINNING 5/1/21**

**Please be aware that I will be moving to 730 S. Sterling Ave, Tampa, FL 33609. *** Feeling safe to express yourself in a nonjudgmental environment is an important piece to therapy. Finding your therapist is a difficult personal decision. Your therapist should encourage you to explore your honest thoughts and feelings, since the exploration can help lead to life changes. Your therapist should encourage self exploration and assist in identifying beneficial life changes, as well as ways to change negative outlooks on life. While academics and credentials are important, therapy revolves around an intimate relationship, and the relationship is the key to making changes.

*As of 2/26, no openings for new clients* Hello, I look forward to working with you! I imagine you're here because it's time to find more fulfillment, clarity, peace and joy in your life and maybe less anxiety, sadness, confusion. Or maybe you're already aware of what is working well for you and just need extra support to achieve greater understanding and mastery of self. From many years of working with diverse clients and populations, I've learned that one style does not fit all. While I customize various approaches for anxiety and depression, I also specialize in trauma, strategic solutions, and working with other "helpers".

Becoming a mother is an incredible transformation. Within minutes you take on a completely new identity and role. Sometimes it feels natural while other times you may find yourself grieving your old life. Freedom, time, and relationships - it can all feel so different. While motherhood is filled with incredible love and joy there is also space for fear and worry. This can feel confusing and scary. On a hard day, the stress, worry and guilt can leave you feeling drained and depleted. Perinatal depression and anxiety are all too common and you shouldn't have to walk this path alone.

There is so much pressure as a teen girl and young woman. Lots of change and transitions. I've spent my career as a therapist helping teen girls and young women navigate many difficult moments and accomplish amazing growth. I value a holistic approach and help teen girls and women assess 5 key areas - mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and social. Using a coaching approach to treatment we look at strengths and ways that lifestyle may be affecting your mental health. Becoming emotionally prepared for college or the transition into adulthood is critical to every aspect of your life. I can help you learn how to do this well.

You are not alone. I am here to help you build a happier and more fulfilling life. I know it takes courage to reach out to a complete stranger, but let me assure you that I won't seem like a stranger after the first few minutes. As a South Tampa Counselor and Therapist, I work with adults, teens, couples, and families,

You’re supposed to be an expert in your field, but you certainly don’t feel like it. You try your hardest, but you still feel like an imposter. The worst part? You just know others can see right through the pretending despite your efforts to maintain the appearance that everything is just fine. The voice in your head tells you how you’re not enough. You look through Instagram and wonder how everyone else has it together. You’re juggling too many projects because you can’t say “No.” You know you need help but aren’t sure where to begin. You wish you could find a way to just relax, let go of the worry, and embrace the present moment

My soul goal in the work I do is to develop, implement and guide a process to realign and reset my clients own innate inner healing processes via discovering and healing root cause experiences/memories and helping them learn a personalized healing process that fits their unique strengths and natural abilities to become their own greatest counsel and resource so they no longer feel such a need to look outside of themselves for the answers that anyone who is in this field, if they were truly being honest, would say only resides and always resided within!! Reach out today and let’s chat!!! Ttys...Brian

Work with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) to heal from sex and/or porn addiction. Sex/porn addiction is a clinical disorder which has ruined countless lives and families but responds to effective treatment. If you are struggling with sex/porn addiction, you know how debilitating it can be--shame, self-loathing, unable to stop your problematic behaviors and facing consequences like loss of relationship, job, health, and integrity. If you are the partner of a sex/porn addict, you may be wondering where to turn, bewildered and betrayed by the one you love. Good news: you do not have to continue suffering.

Ask yourself the last time you felt truly connected to the current moment. Most of us would admit that living in the present is a struggle. So often, we get caught up in trying to rewrite the already lived chapters in our life stories, or have a desire to over control and predict the outcome, that we lose sight of the chapter that we're currently writing. This tendency keeps us from being the best, most authentic versions of ourselves and limits our ability to consider what's truly important and meaningful. I enjoy working with clients who recognize this conflict and are willing to sit with and consider their current experience.

You're tired of fighting! You try to talk to your partner, but nothing ever seems to resolve your issues, and you find yourself arguing about the same things over and over again. No matter what you try, nothing seems to work. You're fed up and may even be contemplating a divorce or breakup. I am sure you have tried going to your friends and family for help, but even though they may have the best of intentions, you feel little relief.

Do you struggle with transportation, time constraints, or prior obligations? Do you have small children to take care of or feel more comfortable seeing a provider from home? Here at Brave Health, we bring the convenience of Telehealth to give our patients the best care for mental health illness and addiction. Through video sessions, you can access counseling and psychiatry services via smartphone, tablet, or computer from the convenience of your home. Be brave and take control of your mental health.

I believe that at the heart of every adult lies an inner child with needs. Sometimes we seek out those needs through unhealthy coping and destructive habits, causing us to feel isolated, dissatisfied, or unfulfilled. Using a holistic approach, we will address any needs of the mind, body, and soul to manifest harmony and balance.

I will partner with you to feel better about yourself by exploring those issues that are affecting you in a negative way. Together we will find solutions to your problems.

My main specialty area is Jungian therapy, as it intersects with spirituality and myth. Before conducting therapy, my first profession was teaching. I taught at the University of South Florida, and Jungian psychology was integrated in with my teaching of Comparative Religion. This was also a focal point for me in grad school. I have studied and researched it on a personal level since the 90's, so for 25-30 yrs. In life, we follow certain rituals and/or myths. Sometimes those prescriptions need to be revised to find wholeness; other times, we need to rewrite the script & create new ones. I'd be honored to support you on your journey.
