Are you looking for counseling that makes a difference?
Individual Counseling
The decision to seek help through therapy is one which many people struggle with for some time before they make the first appointment. Everyone experiences stress factors in their lives. Individual counseling can start the healing process needed to become healthy and productive.
Ongoing support is vital for adults, adolescents, children, youth, parents, and families coping with the emotional, medical, or relationship issues of everyday life.
Counseling helps you understand yourself and your difficulties better, and ultimately helps you make healthy choices in your life. I provide tailored services and take into account your individual needs. No two problems are the same and should not be treated the same.
This is your opportunity to make the change you want and deserve. You may call 813-391-3495 or contact me for a free 15-minute consultation or choose to schedule your first appointment.
Couples Counseling
Relationships are hard.
Reclaim the joy in yours.
Is your relationship struggling after what seemed like years of a healthy relationship? My work with marriages and couples is driven by experience and involves interventions that help couples increase respect, affection, and closeness.
My techniques also help break through and resolve conflict when the couple feels stuck and to create a greater understanding between partners. I meet you where you are, whether that is enjoying the excitement of a new marriage or savoring the best years of a seasoned one.
When working with marriages and couples, I am often competing with years of distress or conflict, and it takes time, experience, and patience to make a relationship work again.
During a couples or marriage counseling session, there are three clients in the room: two people and a relationship. I respect and admire the people, but the relationship is my passion.
This is your opportunity to make the change you want and deserve. You may call 813-391-3495 or contact me for a free 15-minute consultation or choose to schedule your first couples or marraige counseling appointment.
Faith Based Counseling
Faith Based Counseling for Individuals and Couples
Your faith is a strength and if it is important to you, it is also important for it to be part of your healing process. Sometimes our spiritual life can suffer, especially when things start to feel tough in our life. My goal is to care for both your spiritual health and mental health. We will incorporate your personal worldview with a faith based context and integrate that into our therapy approach. We will explore your beliefs and values and help you understand how they influence our choices and help you navigate them from a faith based perspective.
Sometimes beliefs and actions don’t match and there is a discrepancy between what we believe and our actions. With a nonjudgemental approach, we work together to find out the cause for the discrepancy and address it through a therapeutic approach, such as discovering coping skills, managing emotions, patterns of thinking or managing relationship distress.
Many professional counselors identify as Christian and choose to bring their faith into their work. As a counselor that identifies as a Christian, my faith based counseling combines the effective counseling methods of evidence-based psychological practices with Christian values.
How you incorporate beliefs and value systems into your counseling experience will vary. You determine how much and in what way we incorporate beliefs into therapy.
When we struggle with something, often it means there is an opportunity waiting to be realized. My goal is to help you discover that opportunity and close the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be in the future as an individual, couple or in your marriage.
