Find a Therapist in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

Psychotherapy is a focused, Interactive process, and which we work together to find solutions to your specific needs and problems. Sometimes we focus on dysfunctional thoughts ("Stinkin' Thinkin'), sometimes on destructive emotions, sometimes in the past, but most often in the present. I tend to be very active in the therapy process, and often give "homework" assignments. It is important that we establish clearly defined goals for therapy at the outset, so that we realize when those goals have been reached.

Are you uncertain as to what kind of therapy you want? Not sure as to what sort of therapist will help you the most? I can help you answer these questions. As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I am here to help you find the help you need. And whether our work is short or long term, together we can bring you that much closer to the support you deserve.

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.

While there are over 250 different theories of Psychotherapy, there are hopeful and grace-filled practical answers given in God's Word. We have often found that all too many have failed to realize that, in his Grace, God has provided hope and help. We use as our motto a passage Jesus used when beginning his ministry: "to bind up the broken hearted and set captives free" (Is. 61; Luke 4). We are so thankful for the opportunity to give people hope and be part of God's restoration!

What is psychotherapy and how does it help? Good questions! Decades of research has shown that talk therapy is an effective way to change thought and behavioral patterns to create positive change. Together we can tackle relationship issues, work stress, phobias, addiction, infidelity, anxiety, depression, self-image or eating disorders and more. Talking is just the first simple step towards reinventing yourself so take the leap! It's worth it!

My approach to psychotherapy comes from a deep responsibility in helping people grow. I specialize in brining adults to consciousness, healing trauma, and self actualization. With 23 years of practicing and teaching the science of yoga and spirituality I consider this work sacred. I have a limited amount of session per week to give my clients the attention they need. I work regularly on my own self care which allows me to capture my passion and avoid burn out. For over 25 years I have been intentional about my own personal growth and healing. Many of my clients are with me for years and I often hear from past clients years later. Building relationships is the core of therapeutic success.

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.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.
