Gottman Method Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

The journey to effective change begins where you are; and realizing this is only one chapter of your life; you have the choice how your future chapters are written. I truly believe real change is achieved when you recognize and accept your current situation, "It Is What It Is" (often a mixture of comfort/discontent). Our journey begins by identifying and utilizing your strengths as building blocks for change. My goal is to help you embrace and work through your struggle, be it mood/emotion, anxiety, relationship issues, grief/loss, or simply identifying and cultivating a deeper happiness in life.

My ideal client would be someone who struggles with outer challenges in life. I am looking for someone who is actively pursuing personal growth but needs a small push toward the finish line. An ideal client is prepared to better their life for their own and their loved ones' sake.

There is progress in the process of therapy. The first step begins with acknowledging the way you feel and becoming aware that your voice is the most important part of this process to heal, grow and change. My practice helps individuals (children, adults, seniors), couples & families handle unhealthy family dynamics, communication issues, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, stages of life development struggles. Let us work together to help you make healthy adjustments to your mental, social and emotional well-being by providing you a space to talk and explore thoughts and feelings.

Visit GreenhouseTherapyServices.com for scheduling. I’m here to support your desire for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. I'm interested in working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. I also have a special passion for working with folks “outside the norm”. I’m LGBTQI+ friendly, neurodivergent affirming, and supportive of non-traditional family structures (ethical non-monogamy, queer, platonic life partnerships, etc.). You will find me to be warm, non-judgmental, and realistic. I am a Qualified Supervisor offering clinical supervision for clinical social worker interns.

Not everyone needs a therapist, but everyone needs someone they can speak to openly and honestly without judgment. Unfortunately, not everyone has someone like this in their life that they can trust completely. Problems are only as big as our ability or inability to deal with them. By instilling confidence in one's self, learning to draw boundaries with others, and creating goals, I believe that each person can develop the skills they need to help themselves. My goal is to simply help each individual develop and cultivate these skills in order to make the changes they desire to see in their own lives.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and very difficult. Relationships can be the source of much joy, but also much pain. Combine that with depression, loss, or grief and you have one toxic mix which contributes to issues of one's health and wellness.Talking about your problems with a non-judgmental, understanding, and caring professional can help with life's questions, pain, and problems. One's identity is the most important thing to carry through life; and when it is buried underneath mounds of culture, gender, sexuality, family, job, religion, expectations, and responsibilities; you don't know where your identity begins

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new -Socrates.
