Psychodynamic Therapists in Melbourne, FL

"For your best mental health thru the lifespan." Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, or other challenges of modern living, I would like to help you find relief. Taking an integrative and holistic approach that incorporates traditional psychological methods with new innovations in EMDR, energy psychology (EFT), neuroscience, and mindfulness, we will work together to facilitate quick and lasting change. If you have long-standing trauma, depression, or anxiety that has been resistant to other types of treatment, you will receive rapid results using an integrative approach. I also work with couples experiencing problems in their relationship using the Gottman method.

I have collaborated to assist many individuals to meet their personal goals and address their concerns that are hindering them from living their most healthy and optimum lives. I am trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and am passionate about assisting individuals to reprocess their traumatic and distressing memories and experiences so they can recover and take control of their lives once again. I am also passionate about supporting individuals to explore healthier ways to cope with depression, stress, anxiety, phobias, and PTSD.

My ideal client would be someone who has experienced trauma and wants to heal from this as best they can. I work with many veterans as well as many people who have experienced complex trauma and abuse. I enjoy working with geeks and gamers since I am one myself and appreciate the benefits of using technology in and out of session.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

A practicing licensed counselor within the Melbourne Florida (Fl) area, I and several interns offer counseling to those individuals and couples experiencing difficulties and struggles personally and in their relationships. As my client you will experience an atmosphere of genuine acceptance and safety needed for healing and growth, to discover balance in your life, and to realize your true potential. Much of my experience includes working with mood disorders, anxiety and panic attacks, women's issues, the cycles of addiction and co-dependency. My desire is to assist you in moving forward in your life towards wholeness and freedom.

I believe in working with the total person: mind, body, and spirit. I assist clients in finding their own personal strength, wisdom, and enlightenment. I have experience working with neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals, couples, and families struggling with a myriad of issues, including substance use, relationships, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I work with the client’s strengths while helping each to examine themself, their environment, and the relationship between the two. The change is in you. I am here to help.

I hold compassion for those who struggle with OCD: the persistent, unwanted, intrusive thoughts, the sometimes paralyzing anxiety, the compulsive actions, rituals, ruminations, avoidances meant to neutralize bad thoughts. I also have an understanding of how often OCD can be misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and the shame and stigma sufferers sometimes feel. Most of my work involves helping people gain control over their OCD and process associated traumas. I also work with related issues, such as BDD, Emetophobia, social anxiety, unwanted habits. I combine a sensitive, client-centered approach with science-backed therapeutic techniques.

You do not need to white knuckle your way through life anymore; sometimes the strongest thing you can do is allow yourself to receive help from others. I invite you to welcome the three C’s into your life through counseling: compassion, challenge, and change. I primarily work with individuals and couples who are ready to take their next steps in healing from the past and working towards a restored future.

Everyone has a story. What’s yours? Are you a modern-day Cinderella juggling a family, friendships and career while waiting for your Prince Charming? Or are you more like Harry Potter - part of a family where you don’t quite fit in, but you know that you’re destined for more. Maybe your life feels more like the plot of the latest Terry McMillan novel, full of generational trauma and pain. Whatever your journey has been, I want to help you rewrite the way you see your past and work toward a happy, healthy future.

My focus is on Depression, Substance Abuse/Recovery, Anxiety, Personality Disorders, Trauma, Experiential Therapy, Relationships, LGBTQ, Co-Dependency, Anger, and PTSD. I enjoy working with people who are ready for a change, and I will provide a compassionate & safe platform for you to unfold your given potential while implementing a distinct and personalized plan for your recovery.

Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by your thoughts and feelings… If your hand is up, I see you and I want to help you because I'm not like a regular therapist; I'm a cool therapist. Life can be hard sometimes but that does not mean we can’t laugh about it. In my office, you can expect to cry AND laugh. I intend to make therapy more accessible, approachable, and relatable by meeting you where you are. Whatever you are experiencing, I want to listen and walk by your side. Together, we can untangle the mess of thoughts going on in your head and find a way to manage expectations and set healthy boundaries.

Life can certainly be tough at times, but you don’t have to do it alone! I have worked with many patients from a variety of backgrounds and concerns. One of my more unique focuses is on Video Game/Internet Addiction. I offer advice/education with time management skills, setting priorities, overall life skills and more! I have interned and worked at Circles of Care and I currently practice at Adult & Child Counseling & Psychiatric Center. I am on your side and I will be here to help you through some of the most difficult and stressful times you have to handle. You have to keep moving forward and I can be the one to help!

On the outside, you've got it all together, but inside there's this whole world no one sees, mixed with fear, sadness, disappointments, old memories that won't go away. Maybe you can't sleep or you feel like no one understands the truth of the difficulties within. Possibly, you've tried therapy many times before but it just hasn't helped or been what you needed. If you're ready to share your story with someone, and receive nonjudgmental support, we may need to be working together.
