Teletherapy for Venice, FL

People often turn to a professional counselor when they are having trouble with relationships--either with self or others. Sometimes we feel stuck in life situations and are unable to move forward. We all need balance in life and sometimes it helps to have some guidance reaching that goal--whether in our personal or professional arena. We can work together to find the most beneficial approach for you to get your life on track.

I have been treating clients of all ages for 28 years. I specialize in treating individuals who have suffered from traumatic experiences both past and present.

"Stop worrying." they say. "Just cheer up!" they say. If you could, you would but just don't know how. For many, feelings of anxiety, sadness, and grief can be difficult to manage, and at times these feelings can be debilitating. Difficulty managing symptoms can often result in missed days at school or work, avoiding others, low self-esteem, and managing life. Many individuals feel they are alone and no one understands how they feel. Other may feel scared or worried something is wrong with them. Trust me, you are not alone in the way you feel.

You’re facing difficulty and looking for a meaningful and compassionate solution. Change is hard and you don’t have to go it alone. You may be coping with a major loss, adjusting to a medical diagnosis, embarking on a new opportunity, or entering a new phase of life. You may be struggling with lifestyle changes due to worsening health conditions, relocation to a new city, retiring from a successful career, starting a new job, or struggling to maintain relationships.

For more than 20 years in Maine and Florida I’ve helped teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief and trauma in healthy healing and productive ways. I bring an understanding of trauma, grief, depression and anxiety and how they can play out in negative ways in everyday life. I bring 25+ years of working with the LGBTQIA+ community helping folks celebrate who they are while at the same time acknowledging the stress and unique family factors this amazing community deals with on a daily basis. Having run a grief group for over 10 years, I have a deep understanding of loss and the individuality of each person's journey.

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field in a variety of settings (private practice, community mental health, university counseling center, state hospital, and in-home services). My services include individual, family, and couples/marital therapy. I primarily work with adults and couples. I believe that disturbances of thought, feeling, and behavior are caused by ‘obstacles’ to healthy brain functioning. My role as a therapist is to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of you having 100% of your intellect, wisdom, passion, humor, curiosity, energy, logic, creativity, and joyfulness available to you!
