AvMed Therapists in Tampa, FL

Do you live with a secret belief that you are unlikeable or unlovable? Are you normally able to keep it out of your mind so you feel OK, but then something happens in a friendship or relationship that brings the painful feelings back into focus? Part of you thinks that maybe if you talked with someone you could feel differently, but part of you just hopes it will pass so you don't have to think about it again. I want you to know that you are not the only one who has these beliefs and that they can change. "The only way out is through" - Robert Frost

Transitioning from a traumatic event or other major life experience can be challenging and may create problems at work, school, or with family and friends. I specialize in treating individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as the disorders (depression, anxiety, substance abuse) that accompany trauma. I use evidence-based therapies, which are gold standard interventions, proven to decrease symptoms associated with mental health disorders. These therapies help develop skills that can greatly improve your quality of life.

It can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes dealing with life can be too painful and it is easy to feel that you are all on your own. This is especially true when it comes to relationship issues or with emotional pain. How many times do you keep trying the same things and end up with the same results? You don't need to go it alone. I am a therapist who loves working with individuals, couples, and families in helping them create lives they love and extraordinary relationships. Please call or email me and we can discuss your unique situation!

Life is hard enough all on its own. It's even harder when you're using all your energy to fight off things like anxiety or depression. The space it takes up in your head is unreal. You do a good job of appearing to have it together but inside your head it's LOUD. Whether the problem is excessive worry, or doubt, it's always there, lurking, waiting to sabotage a decent day. It makes you snap at people and you don't even know why. Maybe it shows up as anger, irritability, social isolation- however it happens it's not doing anything good for you. It interferes with life overall. Living like this is exhausting and unnecessary.

It’s the beginning of the week. You might be thinking “Why do I feel so sad? Why do I feel anxious? Why did I have difficulty sleeping?” Do you feel like you aren’t living your most authentic life.. This has been a challenging year. Maybe your job is not fulfilling or maybe you’ve experienced so many losses. When we scratch the surface of sadness and anxiety, we find unresolved grief. I have the tools to help you mourn your losses and feel a renewed zest for life.

Media & societal pressures have conditioned us to hate ourselves and our appearance. We speak to ourselves as if we are the bully and the victim. The only hope we have is to alter our appearance, until we realize that doesn’t help how we view ourselves. My experience is with people who struggle from eating disorders, OCD, body image, gender dysphoria, trauma, and co-occurring diagnoses. My heart goes out to those who are disillusioned about their lack of worth. In struggling with my own body image, learning to love myself was a huge transition. This journey prepared me to help others along with their own self-worth challenges.

I believe we all have the answers on how we can live our best life and therapy is a way for us to tap into those answers.
