Therapists in 04074

Welcome! Thank you for viewing my profile. I am available to guide you through situations including relationship problems, grief, personal or professional transitions including major life challenges, such as divorce, blending families and managing anxiety or depression. I have spent years assisting people develop healthier lives. I offer a therapeutic environment of professionalism, warmth, truth, consistency and I give homework! You and I will collaborate and develop a therapeutic plan designed just for you. I also offer Christian counseling for those that wish to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

Currently accepting new clients. If you are here, you are likely feeling frustrated, fearful or challenged right now. It takes strength and courage to ask for help; I know this isn't easy. I believe every person has the potential to grow and change and I am here to support you, not to judge you. If you are ready, I am here to help. Sometimes taking that first step can seem lonely, overwhelming or intimidating. I can help to make your journey for change less overwhelming. I will be here as a source of truth, hope, and support, while witnessing the full spectrum of your journey.

You have taken the first brave steps to a healthier, better you. I am here to guide you through the next step on your journey towards mental wellbeing. I will help you work through any issues to become the person you really want and need to be. My practice is a safe and warm therapeutic space where we can build a collaborative, strength based relationship.

I utilize a holistic approach to wellbeing for people seeking quality of life. I use both traditional & contemporary/alternative approaches to therapy & I meet clients where they are & together we create a plan of care. I offer a sacred space (virtually) where people come to experience support & healing of mind, body & soul. I accept some insurances. My self pay rate is 125.00 (I do have a sliding fee depending on need). I also offer Life Coaching, when a person does not have a mental health diagnosis & is seeking support for various reasons such as life transitions, career changes... Life Coaching is not covered by insurance.

My approach is rooted in the belief that all individuals have the ability to overcome adversity and develop greater resiliency. I will meet you where you are and support you in getting where you want to be. We will work together as a team but you are always in control of your experience. My role is to safely guide you in addressing and resolving issues to be able to move forward in your life and achieve self-healing.

Everyone is subject to facing challenges in life, some more difficult than others. It's common to need extra support during these times, it can often bring us comfort, reassurance and clarity. Remembering that we are strong, resilient and that we hold our own solutions can be empowering and provide confidence. When faced with mental health related symptoms, addictions issues or family addiction issues, it's easy to become overwhelmed and forget what we need to do to take care of ourselves. Seeking therapy is a brave and decisive way to provide self care. Very limited availability. Not accepting insurance at this time, self pay only

Providing pastoral counseling to individuals and couples for over 20 years within a religious context has provided a wealth of knowledge and experience since transitioning to the clinical side of counseling. This transition comes at mid-life with comprehensive experience in organizational leadership as well as spiritual formation and direction. Having been married for 25 years and having adopted 2 children, I have a passion for strengthening marriages, families and relationships.

After 35 years practicing as a clinical psychologist I have come to understand that effective treatment must be determined specifically for each client and applied in a respectful and cooperative manner. Treatment choices are made based on the uniqueness of the individual, his or her goals, and current life circumstances. They may include behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, in-depth therapy, or couples and family therapy. One treatment modality is not appropriate for all.

I believe that every person has the potential to grow and make positive changes in life and I enjoy being present during this process for each and every person that I sit with. My specialties include the treatment of depression and anxiety, relationship issues, substance use and co-occurring disorders.

You may be experiencing stressors related to relational conflicts, family of origin challenges, parenting children (especially if they have special needs), life transitions or grief and loss. You may be coping with a disability or trauma. I am passionate about collaborating with you to identify your strengths and discover how you can leverage those strengths in building solutions that are congruent with your values and goals, as well as identifying ways to increase your resilience. If you would like to explore your relationship with substances or how your family system impacts you, I would be honored to be a witness to your process.

My clients are welcomed into a safe and positive environment designed to foster personal change. This process is a journey of partnership. I believe that my part in counseling is that of a guide and support for individuals seeking new ways to meet their life challenges. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with achieving personal goals. Breathing techniques are basic to reducing anxiety and stress. Along with individual and couples counseling, I offer group counseling as an effective tool in the process of change. Stress reduction, improved communication skills and enhanced self awareness are the goal.
