Adults Therapists in Brandon, FL

Trauma can leave us feeling like we have no control over the details of our lives and can make us feel unsafe, anxious, and many other emotions that make daily functioning harder. An essential part of trying to heal is learning the tools that can help us develop coping skills and techniques to navigate through life. I truly believe everyone deserves to control their own narrative, so as a counselor my goal is to help clients tell their own story and to have a safe space to speak freely without judgment.

Do you have anxiety due to separation or loss, a lot of change or uncertainty, work or school pressures or money or housing problems? Are you anxious when entering social situations? Do you worry about situations over which you have no control? Have you experienced sadness or depression due to chronic stress, unresolved grief or loss, history of trauma or poor health habits? Are you having crying spells? In relationships, do you experience poor communication, infidelity, parenting disagreements and/or substance abuse? Is your marriage affected by financial issues, lack of intimacy or disagreements about dividing household chores?

The excitement and hope you felt when you first found out you were going to have a baby have transformed into anxiety and doubt. You love this child more than you ever thought possible, but you question if that’s enough. You’ve been thinking more about how you were parented and understand it didn’t give you the best model to work from. Because of this, you often question if you really know how to raise a child, to be the parent your child needs. Whenever your child is fussy or hard to soothe, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. You’ve typically been pretty confident in yourself, but being a parent has shaken that. I can help.

Can you remember a time when anxiety, stress and low self-esteem weren’t your “norm," but now it is? If you can't remember that person, I'm here to help you get her back. I work with women, just like you, ages 18 and up, that has been be your true self, because of whatever has been holding you back. Maybe it's fear, maybe it's needing to learn better boundaries, maybe you just want a new life for yourself. I get it. Let's break down the barriers, share a few laughs, and work together to create a therapeutic journey that's uniquely yours.

People often describe me as down to earth and easy to talk to which helps clients open up and work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways. From my experience, I've realized that people can get stuck in negative patterns due to childhood experiences and mindset. In a holistic way, I tailor therapy for the inner work needed to shift beliefs and mindset to become aligned with your goals while considering various facets that contribute.

Self-Permission Therapy does things differently! What is on offer is counseling of a person-centered nature. This means that therapy could be simpler, warmer, and more optimistic if you were encouraged to focus on your current understanding of things rather than on some unconscious motive or someone else's interpretation of the situation. This places emphasis on your current perception and how you live in the here-and-now, and that's where the work begins!
