Infidelity Therapists in Miramar Beach, FL

Many times in life we find ourselves in painful places we never dreamed we'd be. As an adult woman with three children, ages 1, 7 and 9, I found myself in one of those places. With good counsel, I was able to not only survive, but thrive and, over time was able to heal and see beyond the pain of the past to enjoy the beauty of the present and look forward to the wonder of the future. It's been over 20 years, but I still remember what it felt like to walk into the counselor's office on that first day.

Are your emotions or relationships feeling out of control? Are you tired of not knowing how to improve your stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult relationships? Is your past hanging up your present life? I will help you move from stressful worrying to feeling a sense of control over your thoughts, from depressed isolation to recovering a sense of purpose in life activities and relationships, from negative past messages in your head to a healthy view of yourself, from poor boundaries to saying no without guilt, from arguing and fighting to reconnected closeness, from chaotic overwhelm to a specific plan for peace.

In my practice I seek to provide a relaxed, supportive environment that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. I believe an important aspect of happiness in life is strong, healthy relationships - with others as well as yourself. I guide adult individuals and couples toward this goal by helping them gain self-awareness, emotional self-regulation, and improved communication and relationship skills.

Every day we all make choices about what we do or don't do. Each of these choices, no matter how big or small will affect the results that we get in life which therefore influences how fulfilled or unfulfilled we go on to feel. Life coaching helps to identify your core values (what's really important to you) which in turn enables you to make wiser choices and ultimately create a more effective, balanced and fulfilling life. The Life Coaching process examines what is going on in your life right now by unpacking your obstacles and/or challenges and formulating a strategic plan of action to help YOU achieve the things that you want!

I approach mental health and personality from a holistic perspective. I consider multiple variables when working with clients including mental health, medical history, nutrition, exercise and environment. I would describe my theoretical orientation as eclectic. Eclecticism incorporates therapies from a number of different sources ranging from cognitive-behavioral approaches to alternative treatments such as mindfulness training and meditation. The therapeutic techniques that I use vary from client to client because what works for one person may not work for another. Moreover, I often use more than one therapeutic method depending on my clients' needs.

The ideal client is an individual who desires help. I am not going to work harder than anyone to better themselves. You have to be willing to do the work with me. This work is hard. It is not fun to talk about things that you have struggled with and I deeply understand this. The reason I got into counseling is that I was forced to go to counseling as a child and refused to engage. It was not until I was a teenager and made the decision to ask for help, that it made a difference. Your desire and passion to want to make a difference in your life matters. I can help you on your path.

It is understandable when life becomes difficult. It takes courage to step out and look for a new set of answers. Sometimes it's a stressor from our family, a trauma from just living life, or serving our country in the military. The challenge to cope can be extremely painful, as it commonly is, with Depression, Anxiety, loss, or events like abandonment or grief. Understanding means listening, grasping a problem, formulating a trust in judgment, and assisting a person or family in forming a plan that can keep you moving forward with your life.

Some seasons in life feel exceptionally heavy and overwhelming. Times of relational and/or internal stress leave us yearning for everyday life to just pause so we can deal with or escape the heavy emotions experienced. Are you burdened, confused, and feeling stuck like things will never get better?

Congratulations on your courageous decision to seek help! The process of healing begins with taking responsibility, realizing that it is you – and no one else – that creates your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Self-awareness is the first step to change. Only you are aware of your unique circumstances and needs from therapy. I go above and beyond to help those like you who choose to actively help themselves. Understand that the path to self-discovery and growth is not easy. It involves commitment, personal investment, and a desire to delve into the process of growth, healing, and self-love.
