Therapists in Saint Petersburg, FL

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey that is rooted in a foundation of trust and connection between client and therapist. My practice is grounded in providing a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship with you. Operating from a strength based perspective, I hold the deeply held belief that you have the innate wisdom to heal yourself. We all do. My role is to assist you in identifying your unique strengths and provide support and guidance on your path. In collaboration, we will uncover the unconscious and conscious thoughts and beliefs you hold that may be contributing to dis-ease.

It is my experience that an empathic approach that is strength-based and grounded in science provides the most optimal therapeutic outcomes. While the foundations of my therapeutic approach are behavioral and cognitive- behavioral, I view compassion as an integral component to the way in which I practice. I believe that growth and change are fostered in environments in which individuals are seen and heard and differences are honored. It is therefore my primary mission to provide a safe and supportive environment for each individual and family member that I work with.

I provide video telehealth and telephone appointments for residents throughout the state of Florida. Are you having problems controlling anxiety and depression or experiencing other uncomfortable emotional issues? Have you been feeling overwhelmed by difficult circumstances? I would love to speak with you to decide how best I can help! I provide support, encouragement and guidance and have over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and down to earth.

I help teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, body image, self-esteem, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and ADHD as well as individuals exploring themselves in their sexuality, sexual orientation, relationship structure, and gender identity to live at ease with authenticity, peace, and liberation. Clients find the most powerful and congruent changes by pulling from their own values, beliefs, and strengths. I believe that we each have the right to explore and become our truest selves, and I hope to join you in creating and aligning with the changes and goals that you want.

I believe that we constantly transition from one stage in life to another, often needing assistance: child to teenager; single to married; individual to parent. I love to work with highly motivated clients who long to achieve their goals. Whether you were referred, followed the suggestion of friends, or simply wanted to explore options around therapy, I am glad you're giving me the opportunity to simplify this process for you. In a world of high professional and personal demands at times we need support to properly thrive. In Law Enforcement or Active Military? I have worked extensively w/ both.

I have a love of social justice advocacy and consider it an essential part of my role as a mental health therapist. I aim to empower clients to look to their personal experiences as a source of resilience through a humanistic, strength-based approach to counseling while encouraging clients to view mental wellness from a holistic perspective. I enjoy incorporating elements of mindfulness into my clinical work with all ages. My approach to counseling considers the intersectional nature of lived experience and the ways our diverse identities inform how we view ourselves.

When life gives you challenges the process of managing those challenges can be real difficult. Having someone to process and find solutions to real life issues can be helpful and supportive. I have a very well rounded background in both adult and child therapy. I have worked with Oncology clients, clients in crisis, couples, families and children with different emotional needs. When I meet a client it is important to meet them where they are and develop a strong therapeutic relationship.

I specialize in topics related to relationships, sexuality, emotions, communication, and changing behaviors. I support clients who want to understand themselves and why they do the things they do, strengthen their relationships, communicate better, manage their emotions, create or break habits, and/or have more pleasure in their sex life.

I am uniquely skilled in helping clients to become confident and assertive versions of themselves. My therapeutic style is laid back, collaborative, warm and down to earth. I use humor to build connection and ease anxiety so that therapy does't feel so intimidating and heavy. There is no denying that sharing our emotions can be downright terrifying. I truly believe the more comfortable we can be in therapy, the easier it is to benefit and grow from the process.

I am passionate about helping people improve their well-being and regain a sense of hope. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), I help clients improve sleep by exploring beliefs and circadian rhythm dysfunctions that hinder sleep. CBT-I is a powerful protocol that the American College of Physicians recognizes as the first-line treatment for adults with chronic insomnia. In addition to sleep therapy, I utilize biofeedback to train heart rate variability (HRV), which aids in regulating nervous system functioning, decreasing anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and improving stress management.

I specialize in treating individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress, chronic pain, or past trauma. My treatment and interventions work to integrate the mind and body into therapy, using somatic techniques. I have advanced training in Somatic Trauma Therapy and Sex Therapy/ Sexual Health.
