Find a Therapist in Pensacola, Florida.

Psychotherapy is a combination of two words: "psycho" referring to mind and "therapy" involving a process of treatment intended to relieve or heal a problematic issue. Mind is interconnected with emotions, spirit, body, relationships, or performances. Debilitating issues of the mind can result in mood disturbances, behavioral, social, educational, somatic and relational problems. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying underlining issues of mind, then assist with deconstructing the problem or exploring meanings to achieve desired goals for relief, resolution, or healing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
