Find a Therapist in Gibsonton, Florida.

For clients who prefer psychotherapy, I practice from a psychodynamic perspective. There are many situations throughout the life span that create mental and emotional blocks, and pitfalls, later on. When those blocks and pitfalls surface, the situation may have long been forgotten creating a sense of confusion or dis-remembering for what is happening in the present. By creating an atmosphere and environment of acceptance and safety, clients are encouraged to explore their memories, thoughts, and feelings to restore their mental integrity and congruency.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

There are different forms of psychotherapy. I use an eclectic approach utilizing several forms of therapy based on the needs of the client. I offer both talk therapy and therapy that does not require talking. Talk therapies involve identification of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors sustaining difficulties. I believe therapist and client form a team with the client leading the pace of the session.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

My passion is helping women who do too much and love too much. If you're a woman who is feeling tired, overwhelmed, underappreciated or even worthless, I want to work with you. Together we'll help you first get some sleep, clear your head of negative self-talk, and figure out who told you you don't measure up; in other words, learn where this huge need to be everything to everyone came from so we can pull it out by its roots. And then the fun part begins-learning to do nice things for yourself, finding your joy, shaking resentments, enjoying saying "no," and living the life you want for yourself. It's time to give yourself permission to focus on yourself and let someone listen to you.

A tremendous value-add to having me as your psychotherapist is based on what I term my contextual approach. In short, I see every client as unique. Hence, my therapeutic modalities are tailored specifically to individual client needs. I used all five broad-based categories in my psychotherapy namely: psychodynamic therapies, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, humanistic therapy and integrative or holistic therapy. We believe rigidity in therapy significantly limits client results and often misses the whole picture. Other benefits include the incorporation of interpersonal and systematic approaches which combat self-defeating patterns and make allowances to firmly establish sound frameworks

Psychotherapy is not one-size-fits all since we all need different types of support, at different times, depending on many internal and external variables. I enjoy collaboratively creating an approach using trauma-informed, holistic, and science-based techniques to discover the barriers keeping you feeling stuck. Helping you find relief and joy by exploring your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, body sensations, and past experiences to make meaningful shifts toward the life you desire is what you can expect from psychotherapy with me.

Psychotherapy literally means "healing of the mind or spirit." As a licensed psychotherapist, my job and purpose is to facilitate this, according to the client's presenting needs and stated concerns. By being interested in the client and providing a distinct context for communicating within a safe friendly environment, the client can more ably express and address what is on his or her mind or troubling him or her. This venting and processing of difficulties and challenges, and picking up of key psych tools and concepts, can help one manage and overcome things that previously seemed daunting and perplexing.

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

There are many different approaches to psychotherapy. I combine several different theories when working with clients to find the one that works best for their symptoms and maximizes treatment outcomes. Many patients I have worked with in the past have tried therapy and have not been successful. Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify baseline functioning. We then work together to develop a treatment plan and continue to monitor for progress using assessments. Modality can be modified depending on client preferences and receptiveness of treatment.

Psychotherapy means different things to each therapist and to each person seeking therapy. What are YOU looking for? I’d love to talk with you about how we can make our relationship work for you.

We are committed to providing what you need to grow and heal. Don’t be afraid to ask. That’s the first step toward growing into the person you were meant to be!
