Therapists in Valrico, FL

Hi, I’m Deva. Welcome and thank you for taking the time to take care of yourself. All change begins with awareness; awareness of self, a problem or even awareness of that bothersome feeling that you can’t put a finger on. I believe that we are all doing the best we can at any given time but when we have that awareness and insight, we can begin to do better for ourselves and make the changes to improve our quality of life. I work with Adults who are motivated to improve their lives and empower themselves to live life to the fullest.

I believe we all can overcome challenges and rise above them but sometimes we just need some guidance to get there. Allow me to help you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I’ve worked with folks from the many stops on the spectrum of grief, from acute stress, complex trauma, to existential concerns.

Trauma can influence us is so many ways: our emotional functioning, in our relationships, in our body, even the thoughts we have about ourselves. If you have been struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just dealing with life events that left an imprint, I'd love to help you move past these and define yourself on your own terms. Healing from a traumatic experience is an unlearning process. We are born equipped to deal with life's injuries and the resulting emotional wounds. As we grow, the world teaches us all kinds of lessons that are counter-intuitive to our adaptive nature. You can shed what no longer serves you.

I believe mental wellness is the cornerstone to living a fulfilling life and maximizing your potential. Together, we will create a non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Then we'll collaboratively identify patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from reaching your potential.

The excitement and hope you felt when you first found out you were going to have a baby have transformed into anxiety and doubt. You love this child more than you ever thought possible, but you question if that’s enough. You’ve been thinking more about how you were parented and understand it didn’t give you the best model to work from. Because of this, you often question if you really know how to raise a child, to be the parent your child needs. Whenever your child is fussy or hard to soothe, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. You’ve typically been pretty confident in yourself, but being a parent has shaken that. I can help.
