Christian Counseling Therapists in Manatee County, FL
I am a social worker licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience working as a faith-based counselor. I want to help cultivate a purpose-driven life that expresses a positive, life-affirming view of your identity. Understanding and walking out the root causes in the areas where you feel inadequate, anxious, and depressed will bring freedom into your life and relationships. Christian counseling is unique as it allows me to combine faith and principles of the Bible with other counseling methods such as motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I provide Christian counseling as a Licensed Therapist as I feel God has the best path for us all.
My ideal client is one who is desiring more for themselves and is seeking to engage in that process and is open to exploring how their relationship with God can support this journey. Freedom and healing is a journey not a destination and I love to walk alongside people on this path. I work with women's issues of all sorts, people who are finding themselves stuck, people who are facing anxiety, depression, life changes and/or relational difficulties. I work with people who are 18 years or older.

I work in a professional Christian counseling setting.
As a committed Christian, I can tell you that we are not exempt from trouble. Sometimes the troubles and losses we experience can cause anxiety, stress, depression, hopelessness and despair. If you experience these things, the wise and courageous thing to do is to ask for help. My counseling style is supportive and compassionate, yet challenging when necessary. If you choose to work with me, I will integrate our Christian faith and value system along with evidence-based treatment strategies to help you move from hopelessness toward freedom and healing.

Are you experiencing trauma symptoms and triggers throughout the day? Do you feel overwhelmed and jumpy at times? Are you experiencing emotions that you have difficulty controlling? Do you feel disorganized and stressed on most days? Are you a sensitive and empathic person who has difficulty setting boundaries in relationships and managing the stressors in the world? Or are you a therapist, nurse, doctor or other helper who is overwhelmed and stressed at work? I focused my dissertation on understanding compassion fatigue in private practice.

Life is to short to settle for bad relationships, suffer from low self esteem, anxiety, addictions or depression. But often, finding the "right" therapist" to help you resolve these issues, can leave you feeling like you are looking for a needle in a haystack. I have been told that I have a gift of helping others. It is my sincere desire to help you get the results you desire. By helping you clarify your goals, and then by keeping each session focused on steps toward that goal, you can achieve the change you are looking for. My style and approach to therapy is never a "one size fits all" but will be customized to fit your needs.

You want to feel happy again. But before you step out of bed in the morning, you already feel anxious and overwhelmed. You work hard to be a good mom, wife, employee, and friend. But lately you are realizing that you are stuck in a cycle of worry and stress. And you don't know how to break out of it. You are starting to wonder... Is this as good as my life is going to get? You wish you could figure out what has changed and how to get some relief.

As most of us know, sometimes life presents challenges. These challenges could cause one to feel overwhelmed, anxious, confused, depressed or discouraged. This is when seeking help through therapy is beneficial. Have you reached a point in life where you know something needs to change, but you are uncertain of what to change or even how? So many of us face these moments where we feel like our life compass is just spinning and we have no clear direction. It feels like you are in the midst of a storm, and missing the proper equipment. Going through life's challenges with no therapy is like standing in the rain with no umbrella.

You look at your adolescent and wonder what happened to your sweet, happy kid? Your parent intuition tells you something is not right. There are so many changes, too fast. Adolescence is a stage of life that brings with it a lot of change, physically, socially, and emotionally. Whether your child is entering adolescence, in the middle of adolescence or at the end of adolescence, each stage brings its challenges. Not addressing issues presented with your teen can lead to risky behaviors. Most parents brace themselves and suffer through it, as does their teen but it doesn't have to be this way!

Are you in a relationship that's manipulative? Or are you unsure and need some clarity? If you've recently left a challenging relationship, I'm here for you and can be a guiding and healing hand. Relationships are an intricate dance, and we all have moments of imperfection; however, those missteps leave us feeling drained, hurt and afraid. You may feel like you're sacrificing your own needs in order to please your partner. You don’t want them to feel any discomfort even if it' costs of your own well-being. But, amidst all your selfless efforts, you don't feel loved in return. You hope that it will change, but it never does.
