Find a Therapist in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach to counseling is rooted in creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. We will identify the underlying issues contributing to your challenges and develop tailored strategies to address them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change for a more fulfilling life.

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.

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 work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

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.

Unlike traditional therapists, clients of Delray Holistic Therapy need just 2 to 4 sessions, on average, and never more than seven. Ther reason? Using cutting-edge solution focused brief therapy, we spend nearly all our time creating solutions, rather than analyzing problems. One hour of solution-talk is easily worth 20 hours of problem talk. Not only does this save a great deal of time and money, but also it empowers people to leave after a session feeling hopeful and optimistic.
