Emotionally Focused Therapists in Pensacola, FL

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I provide individuals, couples, and families a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients are able to freely express themselves while gaining insight into their lives. I specialize in relationship issues, PTSD, people-pleasing, developmental and sexual trauma, self-esteem issues, parenting, anxiety, and depression. I use EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) when working with couples. I am Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and also certified in EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol, Anxiety, and DBT.

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.

Sunday availability just opened! I help adult high-achievers and people-pleasers reframe negating thinking patterns, overcome fears, control anxiety, remove barriers to growth, and improve relationships. I will assist you in discovering your POWER and FREEDOM to build the life you DREAM of.

My passion lies in working with women during the 'middle years', as this period brings significant physical, social, and emotional changes that are often overlooked or disregarded (typically between 35-65 years old). I love empowering women to live fully and not settle for the status quo, especially from their healthcare providers during the years on the Menopause rollercoaster! I am honoured to help clients learn how to move through life with healthy boundaries, relationships, and habits that increase longevity & wellbeing at ALL ages!
