In Person Therapists in South Pasadena, FL

As a Mental Health Therapist, I have a laid back approach to therapy and will meet you wherever you’re at in life. I want you to see me as your equal and know that we all have our struggles. I’m not the expert on your life…you are. Whether it’s infertility, maternal mental health, ADHD, anxiety, or something else you’re struggling with, I’m here to empower and support you.

Painful experiences sometimes color how we live our lives and experience the world around us. Even when we want to change habits, without positive support the journey toward healing, rewriting the stories we tell our selves and how we interact in the world can be overwhelming. I strive to empower clients by helping them to develope their own “toolkit of self-care”. Whether it is developing healthy coping skills, manage difficult emotions or unpacking painful experiences of the past .

I provide counseling that is goal-focused, relationship-oriented, and with an introspective edge. I try to create a warm and comfortable environment both inside my office and while addressing personal issues with clients. My approach usually brings a sense of hope and encourages learning of problem-management skills. Anyone can experience hard times, but how we manage these transitions in life is of value. My initial visit typically includes a brief assessment of the presenting concern to better understand the client's stressors, problems, strengths and resources. I try to establish an action plan to guide our future sessions.

I strongly believe that high quality therapy with a professional therapist is something that should be affordable and available to all people. I am a licensed clinical social worker with many years of training and experience. I have advanced training in EMDR which has proven to be the “gold standard” of treatment for trauma issues and post traumatic stress disorder. I am also certified in clinical telehealth (CTMH) and anxiety treatment (CCATP). If you are struggling to find your way or are looking to lead a happier, authentic life, I encourage you to take the first steps on your journey of moving in a positive direction.

While it is very difficult to ask for help, we all have times in our lives when we need to talk to someone. What I offer is a non-judgmental environment for all to work through their problems using talk therapy. Through self reflection and behavior modification I feel that we all can overcome our troubles.

I believe therapy is for everyone and can be helpful in many situations including a life transition; exploration of self, relationships, and behavioral patterns; or figuring out how to make desired changes in your life. I provide a warm, person-centered, and strengths-based approach tailored to your individual needs. My aim as a therapist is to provide you a safe, nonjudgmental space to develop personal insight, understand how your experiences have shaped you, and increase your coping skills while empowering you to live a healthier, happier life.

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.
