  • Excellence: We are committed to the continuous pursuit of excellence in all aspects of our services.

  • Inclusivity: We celebrate diversity and strive to create an environment where all feel welcome and valued.

If you are looking for integrative individual psychotherapy, family systems, or Gottman/ EFT marriage counseling, you have found a great place to start implementing positive changes to SHOW-UP in your life in a more genuine and powerful way! When we show up authentically, we intentionally choose to create our lives based on self-awareness and with responses vs reactions. Even when dealt a difficult hand, we can still choose how to respond in a way that serves our needs. We are here to help guide you in waking up to yourself, tuning into YOU, and loving yourself and loved ones in the way you and they need to feel loved. When we are living on “auto-pilot”, learned behaviors can become good (adaptive) habits or bad (maladaptive) habits. Let’s create some awareness around what habits or patterns are actually being created so that we can work together to powerfully and purposely create the culture in your life that you are intentionally trying to create!

Congratulations on taking the first step....

We are So glad you are here!

And Looking Forward To Working With You.

We realize that the decision to seek counseling is not a decision that is made lightly. Often times, it is easier to ignore emotional and psychological difficulties in hopes that they will improve on their own. Unfortunately, in many cases, brushing these challenges under the rug doesn't resolve the real issues.

Discussing your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and conflicts with another person can be of great help.  If that person is unbiased, caring, professionally trained, and compassionate, then talking with that person and exploring your difficulties and concerns can be illuminating, and of tremendous assistance.

We are passionate about collaborating with you to discover what is working and what is not working in your life. We subscribe to the belief of creating a partnership with our clients and we strive to share life-changing tools for healthy relationships.

Lastly, finding a therapist that is a good fit for you can be difficult. Our goal at South Tampa Therapy is to provide you with a comfortable, respectful and supportive environment where you feel open to explore any issues that come up during treatment. If, for whatever reason, we are not the right fit for you, we will provide you with resources and encourage you to find the place where you can begin your journey towards a more fulfilling life.

I’ve created a transformational, Integrative, solution-focused approach that:

Integrates: The Gottman Approach, Compassionate Communication Techniques (NVC), Sue Johnson’s Attachment Theory and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Holistic Psychology, Trauma Informed Care, Psychodynamic, and several Integrative therapeutic applications and modalities based on client needs.

Helps hold you accountable for being AWARE of the changes you want to make.

Facilitates COLLABORATION regarding the AWARENESSES of things that could be better.

Creates AGREEMENTS from the AWARENESSES.

Follows-up to REFLECT and determine if the AGREEMENTS are creating ACCOUNTABILITY.

If not, what are the obstacles? What is standing in the way of you being able to create the life you want to live? Let’s troubleshoot and CONTINUALLY FINE TUNE YOUR AGREEMENTS WITH YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
