About

'The first duty of love is to listen.' When someone truly listens the problems come to light and can be healed, resolved. Your unique capabilities and telling of your story in the ways you choose to resolve what brings you here are highly valued in the counseling process. I may use assessments and diagnoses but may also help with adjustment or not need to label. I assess the problem and offer researched solutions proven to work. I use a variety of therapies, including a person centered approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also offer Equine and Canine Assisted therapy. I offer tele-therapy and remote video counseling.
CBT is proven to work as effectively as Rx drugs for some diagnoses. Sometimes prescription medication is necessary and I consult with medical doctors and other professionals I refer to. I do Play Therapy and Couples Counseling. I was also a Professor of Psychology, Career Development, and College Success. I work with military and international clients.
I've worked at a Baker Act Unit (crisis); domestic violence shelter; prison; base; residential drug treatment center; court programs; in home treatment; schools; on immigration, bariatric, and child dependency assessments; under a Psychiatrist, Behavior Analyst, & Physical Therapist; and as a Personal Trainer.

Loving Therapy. Gainesville, FL and Online's Groups

PAST: Mental Health Grace Alliance Support Group

Family members and those living with a mental illness that want to find Christian support. Mental illness can be isolating. "Seductively complicated, a distillation both of what is finest in our natures, of what is most dangerous. In order to contend with it, I first had to know it in all of its moods and infinite disguises, understand its real and imagined powers. Because my illness seemed at first simply to be an extension of myself- that is to say, of my ordinarily changeable moods, energies, and enthusiasms- I perhaps gave it at times too much quarter." Kay Redfield Jameson

More about this group

PAST: Women's Therapy Group

Therapy group for women dealing with issues such as shame, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues, and a variety of different life challenges and changes, habits, hurts, and hang ups. To be a part of the group each woman first must meet for an assessment and individual session to identify if they are a good fit for the group and what their goals are for therapy to give them some direction in their journey. Vulnerability is important but each woman chooses what she is comfortable to share in a process of building trust and self-discovery. 1/wk afternoontime
