EMDR Therapists in Seminole, FL

I work with people who are dealing with anxiety, past trauma, and life transitions. You might notice you can’t stop worrying, going through the “what ifs”, and avoid as a result. Dealing with emotional struggles on your own can be tiring and isolating. Imagine how your life could be without your suffering weighing you down. There is hope and you can thrive!

Have you been feeling angry and irritable? Having problems sleeping at night, or having nightmares? Do you startle easily? Do you lose track of time and have memory loss? You are not alone. You may have post traumatic stress, dissociative disorder, or a combination, and I can help you process the trauma with EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I will help you to acquire coping skills and learn relaxation techniques. I work with your other providers as a team, and will find you the necessary ongoing support after you leave treatment.

Life sometimes has unexpected challenges: loss of someone we love, traumatic or frightening events, separation or divorce. Therapy is a way of being heard without interruptions, learning new strategies to reduce the emotional pain and tapping into the strengths that you are already using to heal. Where is it written that you cannot find happiness again?

While trained in a variety of treatment modality, I tailor my counseling style to meet each individual client's preference and goals, and use evidence-based interventions to address the specific concerns that brings a client into counseling.

I'm passionate about working with trauma survivors, anxiety prone individuals and those seeking to lead a more fulfilling life. If you've been feeling stuck, struggling with low self-esteem or repeating patterns that get you nowhere; then I know how to help you break free! My compassionate and collaborative approach helps empower clients to live the lives they've always wanted.

There are times in our lives when we find ourselves "stuck" and/or feeling like we are wading through quicksand to move forward. Our situations appear hopeless and sometimes overwhelming. They can be due to difficulties beyond our control, unresolved issues from our past that have resurfaced, or the consequence of wrong choices. We seek alternative methods for looking at ourselves, managing our situations, as well as the outside influences in our lives, but we don't know how to access them. We need someone to help us discover who we have become and how to move forward in a healthy manner mentally, spiritually, and physically.

As a therapist in my fifties, with a 27 year marriage and 2 college kids, I not only have my education & clinical experience to offer you, but life experience as well. My goal is to help you (& your partner or family if you wish) improve your overall happiness and life satisfaction. I use the newest, most effective therapy techniques to assist you in healing your mind, your heart, & your relationships. For 7 years in a row I've been named the best therapist in Toledo, Ohio, and in 2023 I started seeing clients in Seminole as well. I look forward to talking with you about how I can help you change your life for the BETTER!

Talking to a therapist can be a hard decision to make for a lot of people. Some days you might not feel like "getting into it" again but you want to feel connected and supported. I understand all of that and have been there myself. I'm not the typical therapist as my clients can attest. I'm more of a supportive friend and do my best to meet you where you are and with what you need.
