Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Tampa, FL

I am a licensed clinical social worker. Clients have described me as thoughtful, relatable, humorous, open-minded, a good listener, and a creative problem solver. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which is a form of therapy that can be used to treat people with a wide range of mental health struggles. CBT is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion), and how we act (behavior) all interact together.

You’ve heard it before, “Children don’t come with an instruction manual”... but you wish they did. You want to "do it right," but with so much conflicting advice, it’s hard to feel confident in your choices. You want your child to have friends, to develop a career they can be passionate about, and to be happy. And- you’re afraid of what the future may hold. We’re here to help.

You may have a sense that something needs to change because the way you have been doing things isn't working, despite perhaps years of great effort. You may be completely exhausted, physically, mentally, or emotionally. You might be achieving success, academically or professionally, yet struggling in your daily life. Mundane tasks such as shopping, doing the dishes or paying the bills may feel impossible. And navigating relationships at work or with friends and partners might be confusing or too complicated. You may act okay, saying, "I'm fine." But inside, you aren't.

Are those intrusive thoughts derailing your days? Feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner(s) can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable, and alone.

If uncertainty and anxiety has cast a shadow over your transition to adulthood, keep reading. Anxiety can make even the most straightforward decisions feel like life-altering crossroads. Decisions about careers, relationships, and self-discovery may feel like insurmountable hurdles. Your desire to consistently meet high standards often results in anxiety about making mistakes or not living up to expectations. Constant comparison has led you to feel inadequate and alone. You are high achieving and extremely successful, but your personal life is suffering and your anxiety has become a weight that you are no longer able to carry.

I enjoy working with individuals and their families through a strength-based perspective to not only address weaknesses, but foster strengths. I believe there is no "one size fits all" model, and by collaboratively working together, goals can be identified, evidenced-based practices can begin, and progress can be monitored. I work with clients to address an array of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, school difficulties, behavioral difficulties, social skills, organization and executive functioning difficulties, and other adjustment concerns. I also complete comprehensive assessments to address learning, attention and a mix of social, emotional and behavioral challenges.

The quality of counseling should not suffer because you cannot make it physically into an office for an hour a week.

Hello everyone! I am a licensed therapist who specializes in marriage and family therapy—that just means that on top of helping with clinical mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, adjustment, etc., I am specially trained in family and relationship needs as well. I picked a specialty in marriage and family therapy because I genuinely believe that societal, family, and cultural conditions deeply influence the way we think, feel, act, and react to day-to-day interactions—which is the foundation of MFT’s systemic perspective.

I offer individual therapy to adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, or difficulties that can come with significant life changes. I can also help address effects of trauma, identity issues, and impacts of neurocognitive issues. My approach is to honor the person not the problem as we cultivate strength and strategy to overcome challenges. You will walk away feeling heard and as though you have a safe, non-judgmental space to offload difficult thoughts and feelings. Eventually, you may develop new insights about how to manage difficulties we discussed.
