Cape Coral, FL, sits on a peninsula in southwestern Florida. It offers direct access to the Caloosahatchee River, various kayak routes, beaches, piers, and more than 400 miles of canals. Thanks to its tropical climate and abundant water, you can see things in Cape Coral that you can’t see in many other areas of the country, like mangroves and manatees. If you’re having difficulty enjoying the water and feel like you might get swept away, talking to a therapist in Cape Coral, FL, can help. 

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. In-person counseling sessions are likely available from many therapy practices in and around Cape Coral, but finding one with an available appointment that fits your schedule can be challenging. Online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp lets you attend therapy sessions from the comfort of your home, so you don’t have to spend your valuable time driving to Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, or Lehigh Acres to find an appointment.

All BetterHelp therapists are appropriately trained in counseling psychology and skilled at using an eclectic approach to help you manage the current challenges in your life. Whether you need help with issues that affect women, difficult life experiences, family conflict, or mental health conditions, a therapist can develop a plan to help. Contact a Cape Coral-based therapist to make a positive change in your life.

If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you are looking for change or you want something more. Maybe you feel like you’re stuck in an unfulfilling pattern, one that leaves you feeling disappointed in yourself or angry at those around you. Or perhaps you think you are doing well on paper—good job, stable home life, supportive friends—but can’t seem to derive the sense of accomplishment that “should” accompany “success.” Either way, you are here because you think you might be ready to get more out of life and are prepared to examine things closely, maybe even ask yourself some tough questions. I am here to help formulate those questions with you and, if you’re willing to do the work, help you answer them. Why am I uniquely positioned to help you? My educational background and work experience certainly help, but more important than those qualifications is the fact that I have done the work in my own life. We have all at some point met the cardiologist that smokes or the car mechanic that drives a clunker—many of us find it difficult to practice what we preach. But I have lived through transformation and can attest to, firsthand, how difficult, powerful, and rewarding it can be. For those of you who are ready, I await you.

Cancer is a frightening diagnosis. It can conjure up thoughts of spending long periods of time in difficult treatment, feeling ill, suffering and possibly even dying. If you or a loved one has cancer or any other life threatening illness, it is important to learn the physical, emotional and spiritual tools to help you through this challenging time. Everyone’s experience is different which is why I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. With over 35 years experience as a licensed counselor, I have worked with addictions, mental illness, couples & family therapy, chronic illness, coping with life changes, grief and loss. My specialty lies with chronic illnesses, especially cancer, since it was so pronounced in my family while growing up. I am certified as an Interactive Guided Imagery ℠ Practitioner helping clients draw on their own inner resources to find creative ways to problem solve and to support healing. The greatest challenge to a life threatening diagnosis is often your own inexperience facing what seems so insurmountable. There is no good reason you should take this journey alone. That is where the support of counseling steps in providing a listening ear, help with the anxiety and stress that often accompanies this type of diagnosis and providing helpful referral information. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
