Adults Therapists in Lakewood Ranch, FL
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, depression, and anxiety as well as issues with relationships, self-esteem, spirituality, and individuals looking for personal growth.
On the path of life, we encounter unexpected twists, bumps, and turns, and sometimes, we need a safe place to process all of these events and the emotions and thoughts they evoke. I believe we all need a safe healing environment at different points in our lives, and I can be that for you. I believe all people truly have the answers within themselves, but sometimes, we just need a little space to be able to find those answers.

Many clients are ADULTS and KUPUNAS (SENIORS).
I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit the person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of the person. Developing the therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, Perceptiveness and Energy Fields guide me as well. My strong interest with Trauma Work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways. Being in the womb, leaving the womb and the birthing process are the beginnings of trauma.

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.

Unfortunately, counseling/therapy is still often viewed as reserved mostly for individuals with severe mental disorders.The truth is that all healthy individuals, of all ages, cultures, social and economic backgrounds, experience difficulties in life and there is nothing wrong or shameful in asking for a helping hand. As a experienced therapist I offer counseling sessions for children, adults, seniors and couples.

I work with teens and adults who want to: decrease feelings of anxiety/depression, improve coping skills, process loss, enhance self-esteem, feel empowered, work towards self-acceptance, feel more connected, navigate life transitions with more peace, or increase mindfulness.
Life can be hard, and it’s easy to feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, or off-balance as we navigate the challenges of being human. During those times, we need a safe space where we feel seen and heard, where we are encouraged to experience our emotions, where we can be ourselves. Ted Lasso reminded us to “be curious, not judgmental”. For me, that is what therapy is all about. Being present and listening, without judgment. Therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing” something that’s “broken”. Sometimes, the work is more about awareness, insight, self-exploration, or acceptance. We get curious, we ask questions, we explore. Together.

I enjoy working with teens and adults and because of my faith in a loving and present God, I offer therapy that is rooted in love, acceptance, compassion and respect for each person as individuals with unique needs and perspectives.
More and more people in today's world and changing culture are feeling lost, isolated, hopeless and overwhelmed with emotions that seem to come from nowhere. My work focuses on helping people understand themselves, get unstuck, find hope and move forward with new found skills and perspectives. I combine the practicality of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with the depth of psychodynamic therapy to provide individuals and couples a safe, supportive space in which to understand the unhealthy patterns in their lives and explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.
