Family Therapy in Lake Mary, FL
I specialize in relationship and marital issues, family issues, women's issues, GLBTQ identity and acceptance issues, trauma/abuse/self-injury recovery, eating and self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and am EMDR certified.
Beginning therapy can be an anxiety provoking decision due to the vulnerable place you find yourself when seeking counseling. I create a safe and trusting space, so my clients feel free to discuss any type of concern. I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership, where great transformation can take place when one is ready. It takes courage to make that first step, but once you do, you will begin to create positive change in your life, feel better about yourself and the one's you love. I have been helping people improve their lives and their relationships for over 25 years. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.

My ideal client is hopeful that they can achieve, overcome, or get through their concern. I know that each client is unique in their issues, needs, and goals, and I don't judge those areas. Instead, I respect the client's focus and seek to understand what those are. Ideally, the client has goals that are both in the here and now and can be sustaining and realistic. In addition, the client's needs are reasonable and obtainable needs such as improving one's mood because they're sad, alleviating symptoms of anxiety that have been ongoing for weeks, or having a better relationship with a family member.

I counsel children, teens, and adults, with struggles including depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment disorders, family dynamic issues, blended family difficulties, relationship issues, self esteem, abuse, and grief / loss.
Sometimes, in order to reach God's full potential for us, we need a little help along the way. To be encouraged, motivated, empowered, and reminded of how strong and courageous we are. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11. I truly believe this! I am beyond blessed and grateful to be able to counsel anyone who is struggling, lost, broken, or just a little bit off-balance. I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, validation, and on improving self awareness, insight, self esteem, and assertiveness.

I am a bilingual EMDR & IFS therapist who helps others heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult family relationships, dissociation, and other distressing things.
Have you lost sight of who you are after having a hard childhood, toxic relationship, or just a hard life? Do you wonder "what would I be like if I didn't go through that?" Maybe there is a part of you that's not sure if you're too far gone, too messed up, too broken, to find healing and feel better. Imagine if you could start understanding the "why" behind what you think, feel, and do and learn the "how" you can get to a place of clarity, confidence, and feeling in control. I believe that you don't have to be defined by what happened to you. We can find the real you beneath the survival mode version you had to be to get this far.

I have a wide range of specialities from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexuality, health concerns, family or relationship issues, career coaching, self esteem, addiction and adjustment issues.
My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a " family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.
