Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Englewood, FL

Transitions in life can be challenging for children, adolescents, and adults. My goal is to assist each client to achieve their highest potential. My role may change from being a catalyst for change, to conducting a thorough assessment. Evaluations may assist clients to identify problems that may be interfering with their everyday lives and personal relationships. I utilize my knowledge and education along with many years of experience in counseling in diverse settings and with all age groups. My focus of counseling is to build a safe, trusting relationship with each client with acceptance and without judgment to promote positive change.

For more than 20 years in Maine and Florida I’ve helped teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief and trauma in healthy healing and productive ways. I bring an understanding of trauma, grief, depression and anxiety and how they can play out in negative ways in everyday life. I bring 25+ years of working with the LGBTQIA+ community helping folks celebrate who they are while at the same time acknowledging the stress and unique family factors this amazing community deals with on a daily basis. Having run a grief group for over 10 years, I have a deep understanding of loss and the individuality of each person's journey.

If you or your child are experiencing feelings of sadness, excessive worry, major life transition or struggle to manage emotions then please know there is help. Within the therapeutic relationship lies a safe place for you to freely express, heal and gain the insight and tools for a deeper contentment. I can help to guide you or your child through issues and get to the root of longstanding negative beliefs, replacing and reframing them with compassionate perspectives, insights and tools.

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field in a variety of settings (private practice, community mental health, university counseling center, state hospital, and in-home services). My services include individual, family, and couples/marital therapy. I primarily work with adults and couples. I believe that disturbances of thought, feeling, and behavior are caused by ‘obstacles’ to healthy brain functioning. My role as a therapist is to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of you having 100% of your intellect, wisdom, passion, humor, curiosity, energy, logic, creativity, and joyfulness available to you!

Don't trust your relationship to anyone who isn't specifically trained to treat couples! I have 4 years of specialty training in specific couples models and I have over 30 years of experience. I help struggling couples reconnect and heal from wounding that took place in the relationship and in childhood.

I offer supportive, client centered and strength based psychotherapy, and invite you to engage in authentic and intuitive exchange in our work together.
