How am I supposed to watch college football and not drink beer? "It just feels like nothing is going to be ok and I don't know why." These are examples of things that I not only hear from patients and clients but that I have experienced myself. I know the feeling of dreading lying down to try to go to sleep. Feeling disconnected from, and scared of your world but trying to do your best to get things done is no way to go through life. The only way out is through, but how does one "go through"? That is where good counseling becomes invaluable. I used to believe that knowledge would solve my own mental health issues but I now know that knowing is only a small part of healing. The art of learning how to change requires much more than just knowledge or a degree. Knowing what questions to ask, what someone can handle, and giving an actionable item every session are ways that I can help you. I know it's tough, but the best way to get better is to meet issues head-on with the help of someone who not only knows therapy techniques but has been where you are. When someone shares about their anxiety or struggles with drinking, I can feel their angst and I know what works and what doesn't. I've experienced career anxiety and existential crisis that led me to become a therapist in my 40's after a successful career in music. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with both inpatient and outpatient clinical experience with couples individuals and couples with issues ranging from anxiety and depression to substance use, to grieving the loss of a pet. If you feel like you just "can't get right", please reach out.
