EMDR Therapists in Lake Buena Vista, FL

I typically work with adult clients who are navigating trauma / PTSD, anxiety, depression, or other critical incidents.

For over 25 years, I have worked as a counselor in the Central Florida area, being a licensed mental health counselor.

Life's challenges can become increasingly overwhelming, and positive outlooks are gradually limited. At some point in life, everyone could benefit from the therapeutic process. I'm here to provide the support and skills to help you overcome and prevail. There is strength in vulnerability!

I believe in supporting the whole person and implementing interventions based on unique and individual needs.

Are you struggling with body image and feel like you have an internal battle that no one can see? Do you sometimes feel like you are "stuck" emotionally and need help to keep moving forward. It is difficult to feel seen and understood when struggling with an eating disorder and when struggling with the pain of past traumas. My work with eating disorders and body image is conducted through a Health at Every Size (HAES) lens that provides a safe growing environment to heal.

Infidelity? Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Trauma? These issues can be tough to deal with, but I can help. I have specialized training so that you're not wasting your time and money. Not just talk, talk, talk that gets you nowhere. I used evidence-based treatments so that you're feeling better soon. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions and compulsive behavior, as well as substance addictions. Most therapists aren't trained in all these issues. I offer EMDR trauma therapy, as well. There is hope.
