Grief counselors and therapists in Deland, FL

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.

When life feels like one long cycle of stress, anxiety, burnout, or big change, it can be hard to slow down enough to catch your breath, let alone feel clear about what you want next. In our work together, we’ll make space for you to feel truly heard while also getting practical about what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll look at the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and turn that insight into step-by-step tools you can actually use in your daily life.

Outside of my clinical work, I am an author, speaker, trainer, and course creator. My upcoming book, Renew Your Mind: What Your Past Taught Your Brain and How God Can Change It, along with the companion online course, Renew Your Mind: 7 Sessions with Dr. G, will be released on August 9, 2026.

With over 30 years of experience, I am not a "typical" therapist; I prioritize an active partnership focused on achieving your optimal performance. If you are ready to do the work and gain lasting control over your mental and physical health, call today to schedule an appointment.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, manage life transitions, and find balance between professional and personal well-being. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, CPT, and PE for trauma.

As a Certified Perinatal Coach and Childbirth Educator, I also support individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional changes that come with these seasons of life. I especially enjoy working with Latinx professionals and others navigating identity, leadership, and growth.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone—together, we can find your next step toward healing and fulfillment.
