In Person Therapists in Okaloosa County, FL
I enjoy helping others rediscover their authentic self through peeling back the layers of problems and gaining insight and peace of mind. I have found that so many people live with pain due to past trauma, relationship problems, addiction, and everyday life issues resulting in feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, sleep problems, hopelessness and isolation.

My focus is to cultivate a safe mutual understanding between the client and myself. I aim to create a trusting relationship that honors respect and strives to build a genuine connection. When you have a sense of community within someone else that you feel you can trust, you will have the vulnerability of opening up and addressing life stressors that created the reason for treatment. From there with that relationship we can work together and be in partnership to address the needs that you have.

If you are in a place of transition, feeling frustrated or wanting to address unresolved issues, therapy can be the first step in the right direction. I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to improve areas of their life including self-image, behavioral issues, relationships, and career related concerns. The journey to self-discovery is a collaborative relationship that I approach with genuine interest, acceptance and compassion. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole including aspects of mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Making the decision and moving forward with seeking therapy is a huge step and usually, it’s the biggest challenge in therapy. From the moment you step through my door, you’ve already got someone in your corner. I take pride in offering a supportive, calm, accepting, and safe environment for my clients. Today’s environment makes it more difficult for us to find ways to create healthy coping skills. We will work together to identify thought patterns and behaviors, process your emotions, and explore your values and beliefs. We’ll build those healthy coping skills together. It may not always be easy, but it will certainly be worth it.

Life can be very challenging and we all have ways of coping with these challenges. Some ways of coping are healthy; others, not so much. When life overwhelms us, whether in marriage, family, job, or military career, our coping skills may no longer help us manage and we may look for quick fixes like alcohol or substances. If alcohol or substance use has taken over your life, or if anger and out-of-control emotions are ruling you, you have come to the right place.
