Grief Therapists in Florida

I have been guiding clients with their personal and relationship struggles for over 20 years. It is an honor and a privilege for me to help people thru their challenges. I help couples to RECONNECT by bringing the SPARK back into the relationship and teaching them a new communication technique. I guide people to achieve their HIGHEST POTENTIAL in all areas of life, so that they may lead a fulfilling and impactful life in true connection with others. Working in a collaborative, empathic and nonjudgmental manner, I help my clients identify and work on the source of their sadness, anxiety, conflict, and dissatisfaction.

As a school counselor and therapist for the past 20 years, I have worked with people struggling in one or many areas of their lives. This includes people going through loss, divorce, grief, anxiety, depression, attentional or organizational difficulties, lack of motivation, childhood trauma, and lack of confidence. I value and support every person I work with and find that people who experience the most success in therapy put in the work and effort in and outside of therapy sessions. That being said, healing happens at a different pace for everyone, and I'm here to meet each person where they're on the journey.

Stepping into the journey of healing takes a lot of courage and I would be honored to have the opportunity to support you on this path. Together, we can explore your experiences and work towards understanding your unique goals, while developing tools that will help you achieve wholeness and restoration. With my experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I have helped people navigate through various issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, marital conflict, infidelity, separation and divorce, family strain, parenting, and significant life changes.

Accepting new clients as of 7/20/2024. As a therapist for over 25 years, I have helped people from diverse populations from teenagers to geriatric individuals feel and live better.

Greetings! I have worked in this field in various capacities: currently I am working with individuals, couples and families who experienced and are experiencing the following issues such as depression, anxiety, fear/phobia including social, family and other relational issues, low self esteem, grief, stress management, conflict management or poor communication, and some others in varying degrees for over 12 years.

My speciality is working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who may need assistance with life challenges such as grief, loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, co-occurring disorders, relationship issues and various life transitions.

Are you feeling lost, isolated, overwhelmed, or sad in a world where everyone else seems to be moving on? Are you ready to get unstuck and move past this stage of life? Are you looking for a down to earth, realistically positive, supportive, non-bias specialist to help you navigate life’s challenges?

I offer a collaborative and integrative approach for clients seeking insight to their challenges. My attitude towards therapy is that there is not one universal method that works best for anyone, therefore, I use an appropriate blend of modalities to help you overcome whatever you are currently experiencing. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and I am here to help you navigate the difficulties you are currently facing. I concentrate on developing a partnership with clients to identify strengths and areas of potential growth to make meaning and implement positive change.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and bereavement/ grief and loss. My approach is person centered, eclectic and holistic. Some of the modalities include solution focused, CBT and psychodynamic therapies. I have the ability to diversify my approach based on the personal and cultural needs of the client.

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?

I provide counseling for people who are struggling with anxiety and depression. My areas of focus include, but are not limited to: grief, cancer, family planning, life transitions, living with a chronic illness, and interpersonal conflict. I also work with people who feel disconnected from their meaning and purpose in life. Additionally, I am trained to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for those who would like to address their insomnia using non pharmacological interventions. Currently licensed in FL, VA, OH, and KY.

There is no greater loss than a life unlived. We have one opportunity to make use of the life we have been given–to discover, to experience, and to know what it means to be fully alive, unencumbered by doubt, fear, and shame. Time is precious, and the future is never a guarantee. Who is the person you strive to become but feel ashamed to discover? What is the life you want but feel afraid to have? What untapped potential stirs inside that is overtaken by doubt? Such questions of what it means to be fully alive are central to my thinking of human suffering and what I will help you to answer.

We all face times of challenge and transition. This is to be expected. It could be loss or illness, general life stressors, excessive worry, loneliness or hurtful relationships, or past trauma. Are you open to change? Are you ready to explore what transformation entails? Take a step. Let's start with a simple conversation. Building resilience and skill, in order to find peace and workable solutions is a process. Let's begin by exploring your needs and goals, moving toward restoration, healing and hope.

You are suffering from the pain of grief. Intrusive thoughts about the loss you’ve endured come and go like waves. No one has been through the same thing you have, so no one can relate, and it’s made you feel isolated. It's scary and feels hopeless. Normally, you’re a very driven person, but since your loss, you feel paralyzed. Sometimes, you think of calling or texting them, but then remember you can't. The cycle of wanting to see or talk to them again, knowing you can’t, and having no one to relate to has also brought depression and anger.

It is not easy to find someone we can connect with and trust with what we are going through. Understanding that, I create a safe and empathetic space for healing and helping you uncover your potential for change and growth. Whatever challenges you are facing, I partner with you to meet your needs and address issues affecting your life. In a respectful, caring and non-judgmental way, I empower you to make lasting changes in your life and move beyond self-limiting beliefs that limit your ability to heal. I am an EMDR Certified Clinician, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Flash Technique.

I encourage all individuals experiencing grief or loss, healing from an abusive relationship, in the midst of transition, or overwhelmed with the challenges of life to take a bold and courageous step and seek therapy. Persevere until you find a therapist you connect with and trust. My desire is to provide a collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for my clients that fosters emotional healing, growth, and positive change. I use an integrative approach that is person-centered, solution-focused and designed to meet the client's individualized needs and goals.
