Therapists in Sarasota, FL

Do you struggle with anxiety? Maybe your heart races, you're experiencing intrusive thoughts, or struggling with low self-esteem? Do you ever find yourself depressed or feeling inadequate? Maybe you're feeling defeated & can't vocalize the discomfort you have, but you know you feel stuck. It can be exhausting trying to navigate such powerful emotions on your own! In therapy, I use a collaborative approach as I believe you already have the internal resources needed for healing, though it may be hidden under layers of doubt or self-protection. It's transformative to explore these layers and rewrite the narrative you have of yourself!

Do you find yourself feeling like you are never enough and unworthy no matter what you do? Are you having difficulty saying “no” to others and pretending to be okay when you're not? Or perhaps you feel guilty or shameful when there is no reason to be? Past trauma can leave us feeling shameful, broken, unloved, and disconnected from our authentic selves. You feel you have to be perfect all the time with your relationships, work, and appearance. You want to appear like your life is great, but deep down, you are struggling to make it through the day most of the time, lacking motivation, confidence, and trust in yourself.
