Start Your Journey to Find Peace Within
Find Your Inner Peace
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected from others and from yourself and want to find your spark again? Has the anxiety become to much to handle? Do you keep your true feelings and identity hidden because you feel no one will understand or accept the real you? Are you exhausted from your perfectionism and constant need to overachieve and want to let that go? Maybe you’re a caregiver who gives so much of yourself to others, but your cup is empty. I want you to find relief and it’s not necessary for you to suffer alone anymore. Holistic practices can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms.

Therapy for Burnout, Perfectionism and Trauma
You may look successful from the outside while running on exhaustion inside. I work with high-achievers who carry burnout, perfectionism, anxiety and old trauma, and who want the change to last instead of managing symptoms week to week.
Burnout
Look at what drives the overfunctioning, not just the exhaustion, so rest actually restores you.
Perfectionism and Overachieving
Loosen the constant need to prove yourself and find worth that does not depend on performance.
Trauma and Childhood Wounds
Trauma therapy with EMDR for experiences that sit deeper than words can reach.
Anxiety
Understand what the anxiety has been protecting you from, so it can finally ease.
Caregiver Exhaustion
Give yourself the care you give everyone else, without guilt for needing it.
Relationships
Couples and family therapy for the patterns that keep repeating between the people you love.
Explore trauma therapy, EMDR therapy and couples therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered. Find clarity and confidence as you consider starting your therapy journey.
I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
Absolutely not. Seeking therapy is an act of strength and self-awareness. Many of the individuals I work with have spent their lives being high achievers while silently carrying the burden of unresolved emotional pain, often due to early life experiences with perfectionistic, narcissistic, or emotionally unavailable caregivers. Therapy is a courageous step toward healing. It’s not about weakness, it’s about recognizing that you deserve support, and that you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
What’s the difference between talking to you, my best friend, or family?
While friends and family can be supportive, therapy offers something deeper and more transformative. As a trained psychotherapist, I bring clinical expertise and trauma-informed approaches that go beyond everyday conversation. Our work together focuses on uncovering the root causes of emotional pain, often tied to developmental or attachment trauma, and helping you shift the patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck. Therapy also provides a confidential space free from judgment or expectations, where your healing is the only priority.
Why shouldn’t I just take medication?
Medication can help manage symptoms, but it doesn’t address the root of emotional distress. At Safe Space Psychotherapy, our work goes deeper, exploring unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and negative beliefs that often fuel anxiety, depression, or burnout. Through evidence-based approaches like EMDR and compassionate, depth-oriented therapy, we support long-term healing, not just symptom relief. Medication and therapy can complement each other, but therapy offers insight and transformation that medication alone cannot.
How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?
Therapy at Safe Space is personalized to you. We begin by understanding your story, identifying patterns, and exploring the emotional experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others. I use a blend of modalities such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and parts work to help process past wounds and build healthier emotional patterns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your comfort. You’ll gain tools, insights, and a greater sense of inner clarity as we work together.
How long will it take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the depth of what you want to explore. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term work to heal from deep-rooted trauma, grief, or long-standing beliefs. EMDR and other methods can offer significant shifts within a few sessions, but we move at the pace that feels safe and meaningful for you. Therapy is your space, and there’s no timeline for healing.
How much does therapy cost?
Each session is 50 minutes and is priced at $200. We offer sliding scale options based on financial need. If affordability is a concern, we’re happy to discuss options to make therapy more accessible.
What insurances do you take?
Safe Space Psychotherapy is in-network with: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, Oscar. We’ll help you understand your insurance benefits, including co-pays, deductibles, and coverage options for in-person or virtual sessions.
I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?
Your engagement is key. The time we spend together is just one part of the process—real growth happens in the space between sessions. Bringing openness, curiosity, and a willingness to reflect on what we explore will deepen your healing. Whether that means practicing new tools, journaling, or simply noticing patterns in daily life, your commitment to the work will help you experience lasting change.
My partner and I are having problems. Should we be in individual counselling or come together?
If your relationship is the focus, it’s best to begin therapy together. Couples therapy provides a shared space to explore communication challenges, emotional dynamics, and unresolved wounds that may be affecting your connection. If one of you wishes to pursue individual therapy later, we can explore that separately. Maintaining clear boundaries between individual and couples work helps preserve trust and therapeutic integrity.
