In Person Therapists in Cocoa Beach, FL

Therapy should be a positive experience. Having experience with a wide variety of people and their unique cultures, family structures, occupations, faith traditions and other critical aspects of diversity adds to my practice capability. I enjoy assisting individuals, couples and families with their decision to engage life and love, more effectively. My goal is to provide therapy in a positive, non-judgmental, yet effective way. When people feel stuck or no viable options to change their lives, I assist them by using a consultative approach.

Perhaps you're tired of the same old thing: You walk into a therapist's office, sit down and wonder, "Can this person really help?"

Food and weight have taken over your life. You're not even sure how it got this bad. Constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling like you are NOT ENOUGH makes it even worse. The battle in your head is relentless, from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed the inner voices are raging. Fighting against them is exhausting. It’s so hard holding it together when all you want is to be free of this burden. You don’t want to be a burden on others, so you smile and hold it in, all the while feeling shitty and overwhelmed. I get it I have been there, Eating disorders suck but recovery is possible! I am living proof.

For more than twenty years, I have worked with individuals and couples. I have helped clients navigate through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight, find hope and make lasting change. I believe that help in sorting out life's endless challenges can be beneficial, allowing for increased self-awareness, the ability to change the way we handle certain areas of our lives and to feel better. Finding the right therapist for you is essential. I offer a safe and trusting environment where we can work together to explore what changes you would like to work towards and understand how your patterns developed over time. Together our focus is to help you find peace, satisfaction and contentment in your life.

When someone is faced with emotional pain, knowing what to do is difficult and counseling can be freightening. As a marriage & family therapist and social worker, it is my practice to provide a safe environment for clients to resolve their issues of concern. Using the client's expertise of self as a vital part of my team is solicited and used along with my life experience and educational knowledge to make positive changes. Validation and client strengths are part of the therapeutic process. Feeling in control of one's situation and finding hope for a healthy future can be expected.

I believe everyone needs to be respected and honored in this world. The growing up process has caused people to have and develop coping behaviors and strategies that are harmful to self and others. I view psychotherapy or counseling as a professional relationship between the therapist and client. As a client begins talking about their life, I, the therapist walks with you through your world. I will ask questions to further understand your world. Then ideas will be explored for life enhancement and positive change.

Do your racing thoughts rarely give you a moment of peace? Do you feel judged when you try to explain to others how your past has impacted you? Someone brings up an innocuous topic and suddenly you’re panicking, heart pounding, looking for an exit. You may not even know what exactly is triggering you, but you’re searching for somewhere you can feel safe. As my client, you're safe with me. There's no judgement or unrealistic expectations when you step into my office. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside you through the struggles you're facing in order to accomplish the goals which are most important to you.

Feeling stuck? Are you in the grips of anxiety, trapped in the depths of depression, or oscillating between both? Trouble with making decisions, relationships, focusing, functioning in daily life, giving or receiving love, or engaging in activities that were once part of your everyday routine? Are you self-medicating through substances or behaviors that are leading you down a harmful path? The truth is, when we experience trauma, especially if it occurs early in life, our nervous system can become stuck in survival states—whether it's heightened in hyperarousal or diminished in hypoarousal. I would love to help you finally heal.
