What's My Approach to Therapy?

If you're in a problem relationship, experiencing infidelity, possible divorce, life transitions, difficulty in the workplace, too little time, worried about money, or your family's making you crazy - I can help. Moving from problem talk to solution talk is my focus. I enjoy working together discussing your concerns as you move toward fulfilling relationships, an overall better existence, and peace with yourself. We all want to feel happy and hopeful. However, sometimes life gets in the way and we're unsure of our next step. It's important to know that it's OK to ask for help. Believing that realities are suspended in evolving circumstances, the impact of what takes place now-between us-may be infinite. We will co-collaborate and shift from what's wrong with you to what's right with you . . . Call me and lets' make that happen!

My Practice & Services

Florida Supreme Court Family Mediator: 31709 F Fees: 220.00 per 1 hour session. Accept all major credit cards. Out-of-network insurance provider.

My Therapy Focus

My approach to counseling works well in your business and personal life to improve better relationship skills for more successful goal-oriented outcomes. I work with marriage, non-married partners, parentchild, childschool, gays and lesbians in order to promote healthier interactive functioning. Sometimes couples decide divorce may be the only option. Therefore therapy may take on different forms of divorce and recovery. This transition impacts all family members because of the grieving process that may be attached to children, couples, in-laws, friends, life stylemoney, and the "idea" of an end of the marriage and family. Trauma and post trauma (PTSD) is another nasty issue that lingers and keeps us stuck in anxiety, fear, and depression. Therapy will help you move forward in a healthier direction to a fresh outlook and new beginnings.
