I help women and men with Counseling services in the Viera/Suntree area of Melbourne Florida. If you have found yourself seeking "enough-ness" through perfectionism and busyness, working together could help you to create a more authentic life. I truly believe in the healing power of having a witness to your life experiences, and having a trusted companion to provide feedback and support.
I have also learned that people do not care about what you know, until they know that you care. So in working with you, I will listen first, then ask how I can help.

Psychotherapy is different from other medical or health procedures, in that therapy is not "done" to you.
Instead, the outcomes depends largely on one's willingness to engage in the process and practice learned skills outside of session.
It is also important to note that reflecting on unpleasant events and becoming aware of feelings attached to those events can bring on strong feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, grief and shame.
However, before we can heal a hurt, we must be willing and capable of feeling it.

Courage is not about the absence of fear, but the continual forward movement even in the face of obstacles and barriers.
Making the decision to initiate counseling takes both courage and humility.
Courage to face your brokenness and burdens, and humility to ask for and accept help when needed.
In choosing a therapist, it is important to select an individual with whom you can be vulnerable without fear of judgment, while trusting the process when you are ushered into unfamiliar territory.
Whether you are seeking support as you embark on a new season of life or are struggling with recurring emotional or relational distress, I desire to meet you where you are.
