Experiential Therapy in Satellite Beach, FL

Hi! My name is Drew and I am honored by the potential to walk by your side while navigating any mental health challenges or life issues that may arise. My own personal experiences with mental and behavioral health in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, in addition to being a local and seeing how unaddressed mental health challenges and addiction have impacted many of my friends and the community as a whole, is what acted as a catalyst for my entrance into and my passion for the field of mental health.

Sometimes we need support from a non-biased professional in a safe, calm environment. If you'd like to develop healthy ways to cope with stress, interact with others, or re-train your thought processes to have more self-control, I am happy to help!

I’m a nontraditional therapist who works with people who don’t connect with typical shrinks. Most of my sessions take place outdoors. A large portion of my approach involves Behavioral Activation which starts by getting moving again, and provides a “reset” in reconnecting with physical wellness- working toward mental toughness and resiliency. I utilize physical activity interventions, starting at whatever level you feel comfortable and building from there. Simply walking & talking has worked for millennia to help people overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. We may do office therapy, but doing it this way usually works better!

In my practice, I prioritize understanding the unique needs of each client, tailoring my approach to address specific challenges. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can openly explore thoughts and emotions. What sets me apart is my holistic approach, integrating evidence-based therapies with a genuine, compassionate connection. I believe in empowering individuals to harness their inner strengths and resilience. I am here to guide you through your journey of self-discovery, offering tools and strategies to enhance your mental well-being.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with a doctorates in philosophy, who specializes in treating individuals experiencing a wide-range of difficulties. My passionate, friendly and patient approach is aimed at developing a individualized therapeutic relationship, with my clients that will inspire courage to navigate life's challenges. With an understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness of each individual, I recognize that no single approach is right for everyone and strive to integrate various therapeutic orientations and interventions.
