Therapists in Gainesville, FL
As a psychotherapist, I believe it is important for clients to feel safe, heard, and understood by their therapist. When this process occurs, positive changes can occur for my clients. I work together with my clients to assist them in achieving their personal and professional goals. I believe we are all on a journey to become our most authentic selves. Every person has a story to tell, and in the process of sharing your story, healing, hope, and transformation can take place.

Is your child struggling with a trauma, life event, grief, or navigating this neurotypical world that we live in? Does your child need some extra support in processing difficult experiences? I'm here to walk alongside them in their journey. I have specific training and experience in working from a trauma-informed lens with children who have been through trauma/abuse, struggle with suicidal ideation, have experienced grief/loss, and neurodivergent children that may need help figuring out how to move through the world around them. I tailor my therapy to the individual child and their experience, developmental level, and personality.

You've always been the strong and supportive friend. You always show up when others are in need, and you always offer your support. But after years of giving and giving, you're feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and disconnected. Now, you are certain that you cannot keep this up forever. You’ve thought about starting therapy, but it is so hard to find a therapist who understands the things that you have been through. Trauma's impact can be deep, especially when compounded by racial and cultural experiences. You need a therapist who understands you as a trauma survivor, can help you heal, and live the life you deserve.

I believe it is my responsibility as a clinician to help you take ownership of your own life, embrace who you truly are, and discover your meaning in life. In order to do this, I believe in trusting your inner guidance on what it is that you need from therapy, even if you do not yet trust yourself. Whether you are seeking to understand or change your own thoughts and behaviors, your grief, or how you are coping with life in general, I believe that by committing yourself towards progress, you have already taken a step towards owning your own life. Let's run with it.

I felt called into the counseling field while working for a nonprofit as an advocate for human trafficking survivors. I have experience working with complex trauma survivors (sexual assault, domestic abuse, human trafficking, etc) helping them to become "unstuck" in their bodies and brains in order to heal naturally and resolve traumatic memories. I am passionate about helping trauma survivors heal through psychotherapy, and helping to educate the community about trauma informed care.

I work from a relational and insight oriented approach. I believe that we were all created for connection and that our woundedness often gets in the way of this connectedness, whether it be to God or to others. Deep, intensive, soul counseling can help heal this woundedness so that connections are more honest, genuine, and whole. It should also leave you with a deeper sense of self and identity, so that you can interact in healthy ways with the world around you.

Life can feel so overwhelming, with endless things to do, deadlines and decisions to make. It's hard to know what to do with all the emotions swirling around in our brains. With everything going on in our lives, and the world right now, it's even more important to develop coping skills and have an appropriate outlet to process experiences and "empty out" our heads, sort through the jumble of thoughts, and make sense of it all. We tend to view our troubling thoughts as embarrassing and scary, and talking through them makes them much more manageable.

The thoughts of harming yourself are a hard thing for a lot of people to comprehend, which can make even asking for help seem impossible. It’s often hard to reach out to close friends or family…nevermind some stranger that says that they can help. I strive to offer every client a supportive, non-judgmental approach to help explore where you are at, how you’ve been coping with it, and what a tomorrow that is worth living for would truly look like. No one starts cutting or thinking about suicide without a good reason. No matter what your reason is, it matters, even if others have told you otherwise.
