Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

"Marriage with NO problems?" I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR..."What idiot said that?" YOU would be right. "NO PROBLEMS" means NO: Prior separate upbringing experiences, Prior different religious experiences, Prior different sexual experiences, Prior different values in many different topics, Prior different problem resolution skills, Prior unequal education or occupation ideals, Prior Emotional skills in conflict resolution by one or both. SO, DON'T TELL ME TWO PEOPLE WITH ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT IDEAS, IDEALS, VALUES, AND EXPERIENCES in a broad range of traits CAN WALTZ INTO MARRIAGE WITH "NO PROBLEMS".

It can be hard to be a human. There are so many things that are out of our control. It's easy to feel alone and wonder if there's anyone that can help. I believe that clients already have all the resources they need to cope and thrive as humans, but sometimes they just need help accessing those resources. Underneath the unique stressors and experiences that an individual faces, there are core values that are waiting to be tapped into. There are strengths and resiliencies in each of us. My role is to help bring those to light!

The truth is that you haven't felt connected in year, maybe you igored it because you were working on the latest job promotion or getting your children through covid without being held back.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida.

Starting counseling with a new therapist can be intimidating so I want to take the time to tell you about myself and my approach to counseling. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I take a collaborative role to counseling and individualize treatment to fit your unique needs. I understand your mental health journey is unique to you and treatment should be tailored to meet those unique needs. I specialize in childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, personality disorders, marital issues, couples counseling, and pre-marital counseling.

One of my favorite quotes is "sometimes, when you are in a dark place, you think you've been buried, but you've actually been planted". Emotional pain can be so overwhelming that we feel unable to get out of the dark places by ourselves. Trying to navigate trauma, anxiety, hopelessness and stressful relationships, can create fear, doubt and shame to take up too much space in our lives. The way to healing and restoring the body, mind and spirit can feel challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone.

I am committed to Educating, Inspiring, and Empowering individuals to overcome adversity and personal challenges so that they can become the best version of themselves.

I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

Talking about hard things is hard! I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, and I commend you for taking it! In my 10+ years of experience, I have worked with couples, women and young adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, boundary-setting, relationship issues and life transitions. My role as a therapist is to create an environment that is comfortable and safe for clients to process their emotions and talk about baffling and difficult experiences.

I work with children, teens, and families to support them as a family and strengthen their connections with each other. I see children and teens for individual counseling, group counseling, and also provide family counseling. Growing up is hard and so is parenting! We all have times when we could use extra support. I specialize in blended families and co-parenting support for all types of families.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.
