Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Tarpon Springs, FL

I am a seasoned therapist, and have been in practice for many years. I see persons in all stages of life. Thus, I can help you face important issues, such as marital concerns, separation or divorce, challenges of raising your children, work conflicts, relationship issues, and major illness and death of loved-ones. I can assist you with problems related to the use of alcohol and other drugs. Specifically, I see many persons who are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety and other symptoms.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addiction Professional with offices in Sarasota and New Port Richey. My experience involves substance abuse, mood disorders, co-occurring disorders and anxiety disorders as well as guiding people to reduce stress and living a more fulfilling way of life. I attended school in Sarasota in the 1950's and early 1960's, enlisting in the United States Marine Corps from 1966 to 1970. I was in business in Sarasota until entering the mental health field in 1999 enrolling in Argosy/Sarasota In 2001 receiving a Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2005.

I believe effective therapy starts with developing strong empathy as the foundation for establishing our therapeutic agenda and working with you to determine the tools you find most helpful in resolving problems. I provide a brief, well researched mood survey at the beginning and end of initial sessions & you evaluate me & our therapy session so I can learn how to work better with you. Getting feedback after a session helps me to understand you better and that expedites treatment. I will teach you very powerful tools to use in changing how you feel in a very short period. Therapy can be effective in weeks instead of months

Do you know that you want therapy, but you're not sure whom to call? I have more than 30 years experience as a therapist helping hundreds of people resolve their problems, improve their relationships and heal. I would like to help you! It is important to me that you have the opportunity to work towards health and well-being. Life can be so much more fulfilling than most people realize. Sometimes we only need some insights into what's really going on in our relationships. I can give you the necessary insights you need to make important life changes.

Problems, stressors, and unmet needs in one’s life can lead to a multitude of emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties. For some, these difficulties seem to have slipped up on them out of the blue. For others they seem to have always been present at some level. These difficulties, no matter their source or duration, have serious implications for personal happiness and meaningful connection with others. You are here because at some level you recognize a need for help and have accessed your inner strength to seek that help.

I’m passionate about helping individuals live their fullest life and uncovering any barriers that are hindering them from this pursuit. I believe in tailoring treatment to the individual and balancing the art of therapy with neuroscience. I specialize in therapy with individuals with a wide variety of mental health issues and diagnoses including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, self-worth, and more. My goal is to help clients work toward the life they want, cope with uncertainty, handle difficult emotions, develop skills to manage day-to-day life effectively, and most importantly: find happiness.

My practice is dedicated to providing the highest quality,professionally competent psychotherapy to adults, couples & adolescents with compassion and respect for each client's humanity and individuality.

This allows you to actively participate in an informed manner in choosing an approach that we determine is likely to be the most beneficial.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? I believe mental health is about living in the present, healing the past and identifying and moving forward. I’m deeply committed to supporting the well-being of all my clients. Together, we will explore ways to improve relationships and to achieve your full life’s potential.
