Couples Counseling Therapists in Pensacola, FL
Additionally, I am a Certified Emotionally-Focused Couples and Individual therapist, Story-Informed Trauma Therapist, and a Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist.
Being a counselor is a great privilege! I enjoy walking with people through some of the darkest times of their lives as they move forward to reaching their goals. The environment of the client-therapist relationship is unique and powerful. Within this context, growth is contagious. It's amazing to watch people say things like "I finally know and like myself" and feel that they no longer feel "stuck" or full of confusion or regrets. In order to be engaged in this process, I believe in being genuine, caring, and straight-forward.

Therapy can offer a great way to improve our relationship with self, as well as with others.
Relationships are perhaps one of the most important parts of life. They can be rewarding and fulfilling, draining and stressful, maybe even both. Struggles in relationships with others can have a negative impact on our health both physically and mentally. It is the struggle within ourselves, however, that can be the make or break for us in setting the tone for the other relationships in our lives. These challenges can lead to or be caused by anxiety, depression, and other debilitating mental health symptoms.

I enjoy working with children (7+ years old), teens, adults, couples, and families.
Welcome! I’m so happy that you are making the steps forward. This first step is quite difficult. Since you're here, you should know you are not alone! I find myself drawn toward conversational-based therapy, where we are able to develop a relationship based on foundations of trust and honesty. When I say conversational-based therapy, I mean that I utilize a client-centered approach, while also using cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to help challenge spots where you might be stuck and help you see a different perspective. At the same time, I am in no way the expert of your life and am here to help you navigate this world.

Most people don't see a great relationship when they grow up.
Is your relationship in big trouble? Then you want RESULTS. Practical, no-nonsense changes get you over the stuck part. Results don't come from analyzing the past, labeling you with some disorder, or dredging up every last hurt feeling and resentment you ever had. Real results come from being trained how to make changes that create happiness and connection. What I do is relationship TRAINING. There may be some things you need to learn or forgiveness or maturity that needs to improve. I am direct and straight-forward. Start getting the success you want with the specific skills, support and suggestions you need to make changes.

With couples and families, I provide skills and scientifically proven strategies for making relationships stronger, more effective, and hopefully happier for a better tomorrow.
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.

Is that you? Be proactive about your relationship and see how the changes will affect other aspects of your life.
The majority of my experience over the last 13 years has been with couples and individuals, and this is where I find myself to be most successful and happen to find the most enjoyment. I find great satisfaction in seeing couples discover the ability to reconnect, communicate, and discover new ways to live in harmony again, whether this is in an actual couple session or individually.

This sparked my interest in helping individuals with relationship issues, family of origin discord, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I specialize in relationships of all types (parental, sibling, romantic relationship, collegial, etc.). If you find yourself struggling with unhealthy relationship patterns, isolation, social withdrawal, or low self-esteem, you may benefit from participating in therapy. Quite often, symptoms of depression and anxiety can be traced to interpersonal conflict or difficulty connecting with others. I enjoy leading people through the process of self-discovery to assist them in making sense of their life experiences. This often leads people to gain a greater understanding of themselves and the ways in which they relate to others.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
