I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as play therapy techniques.
I am a clinical social worker. I have been providing therapy to individuals of all ages for 16 years. I have worked with a wide variety of issues from trauma related disorders to adjustments issues, addiction, memory issues, as well as mood disorders. Through my work I have learned that life has many challenges. These challenges can be overwhelming and lead to difficulties that present themselves as mental health issues. I view my role as being a healing agent by helping client's gain insight, learn new coping skills, and gain motivation to change.

My therapeutic approach will consist of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person center Therapy, Thought Field Therapy/Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral therapy.
There are times that we experience situations in life that may leave us in a state of shock, anger, shame, disbelief. At times, you may find yourself wishing to go back in time to reset the clock and rewrite the narratives that continue to feed the pain, sadness and anxiety. The fact that you made it this far is one step closer to your healing process and together we will break through any barriers that you may be facing. My goal is to help you discover your inner self and any conflict that you may battle. I will teach you necessary coping skills, so that you can practice successful, healthy habits and create a life of fulfillment.

When I was little, I had big dreams but life circumstances took me on a different much harder path. My primary purpose through the 60's70's&80's was my addiction. I was widowed by 27, left with 3 children and still using. I became sober in 1987, went back to school & started in the addiction field. I discovered most chronic relapsers struggled with emotional traumas and PTSD. I founded The Refuge & 10 years later, sold it and focused on Spirit2Spirit teaching professionals how to help trauma survivors. Today, I am the Executive Director and co-Founder of the Guest House Ocala where we treat trauma and the self defeating behaviors.

Therapy should encompass the whole person: body, mind, spirit and emotions. Our human complexities make us vulnerable to imbalances, which may arise when one of our interconnected parts is affected. In other words, when one area of our lives is not working properly, our overall health may suffer. The agreed-on interventions will enhance your capacities, bring you increased quality of life and resolution to problems, and facilitate transitions to a place of emotional healing.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
