Find a Therapist in Port Salerno, Florida.

My education and training in many therapeutic modalities, as well as teaching and training other therapists, allows me to individualize your psychotherapy. Together we address the presenting problems and challenges with the goal of understanding how things got to be as they are, capitalizing on your strengths and learning how to cope with your vulnerabilities for the maximum capacity for healthy and happy love, work and play.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like you are not living the life you always wanted? Is fear controlling your choices? Are you burdened by past experiences? In sessions we will identify what is holding you back and limiting your freedom; Worried about disappointing important others? Concerned about failing? Believing you are not good enough? Once we recognize the obstacles preventing you from living life according to your goals and values, we can start working on each of them, exploring its function in your life and the reasons it has such a strong hold of you for so long. We can then come up with ways for you to keep what you need and let go of the burdens, so you can move forward in your life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Freud is the father of psychotherapy. However, many things have changed since his day and many of his theories are no longer practiced in therapy. One thing we believe at Gateway that is still true is that the past does often affect the present of people. The past need not define us in the present or determine our future. But it can give us awareness as to why we both do and react to some things now. We work on what we call here the back end and the front end issues to change the things in the present the client wants to change. This tends to result in more permanent behavior change.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

With a Master’s degree in counseling, I’m trained to treat a wide variety of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, and relationship issues. However, my passion is helping stressed out men to overcome their barriers, bad-habits, and insecurities to experience healing and breakthrough. I do so using my training in counseling, my experience in ministry, and my expertise as a trained addiction coach. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations. I am also proud to partner with underserved populations such as those in law enforcement, the military, faith based and LGBTQIA+ communities. I respect and honor you as the expert in your own life and will create a space that is safe, affirming, and authentic.

Psychotherapy, better known as "Talk Therapy" is therapeutic in and of itself because of the avenue it provides to clients to be heard and understood. This is most important to me when treating my clients. I can assure you that my uncanny ability to put others at ease by providing a caring, healing and safe environment will benefit you beyond what all the medications and psychological tools and techniques can offer.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

You know things seem off track yet can't seem to identify why. Things feel OFF! When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life history, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace and cherish all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Distress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you thrive.
