Christian Counseling Therapists in Gainesville, FL
Deciding to go to therapy isn't an easy decision, but it certainly is a courageous move. Our world often beats us down and tells us that we should be able to deal with struggles on our own. Fortunately, we are made to walk through life's struggles together. I consider it an honor to walk with you and to help you work through challenges that are keeping you from experiencing life the way you deserve. In therapy, I use a positive, strengths based approach to help you reach your goals.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world! Yet, we are often required to learn on the job. I lead an organization that provides therapeutic parenting using several evidenced-based, trauma informed interventions. Together, I believe that we can discover the needs hidden beneath behaviors, both yours and your child’s. My approach is derived from an attachment lens, and I strive to share how to be with our children and families vs what to do with our children and families. Is your hard place is anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem or managing big behaviors, good things can come from hard places.

Before becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I worked as a Correctional Officer and got to witness first hand how untreated mental health and substance abuse challenges bled over into so many different areas of life. I believe that people have an inherent desire to change their lives but some are unsure of where to start. Sometimes being empowered to change is a matter of learning what you don't know.

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.

Perhaps you are here to explore how therapy can help you through trauma, relational stuck points, and cultivating a better relationship with yourself. I would love to be part of your journey as I know that the paths in life can be rocky and sometimes treacherous.
