"My approach is best described as "skills, not pills." I will help you think about your problems differently and develop strategies to handle them more effectively. I provide psychotherapy to treat a variety of life issues and concerns, including: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting issues, and stress. I'm a very experienced and sex-positive sex therapist. My orientation is as an integration of cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and insight-oriented with a strong mindfulness component. My style is warm and active. I strive to be both compassionate, and honest."

"I offer psychotherapy, consultation, supervision and coaching to individuals, couples, families and other therapists. I obtained my AM from the University of Chicago in 1995 after having a successful business career as a CPA. My extensive professional experience coupled with life experience as a wife, mother, community member, athlete and spiritual student offer my clients a rich, broad-reaching range of services to help them become their best selves."

"Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well. "

"Are you experiencing depression and anxiety? Do you feel that the quality of your family and interpersonal relationships aren't what they're supposed to be? Are you unsatisfied with your career? Do you wonder who you are and what gives you meaning past your daily obligations? As a therapist with lived experience, I have a special awareness of how difficult these and other questions are to answer, which is the reason that our work together is tailored to your individual needs within a framework of CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Our work will consist of an affirming and safe space. I'm available evenings and weekends. "

"As a therapist, I want to support you to identify and address the specific challenges you face. Therapy can be a tool and experience that offers a way to heal from suffering that may be due to life stressors, relationships, traumatic experiences, complex systems, and internalized feelings about ourselves. I create a space for healthy emotional experiences to partner with you, your child, or your family in identifying what you most need and the role that therapy can take to get you there."

"Are you feeling stuck in a complicated family or work situation? If you've tried various ways to leave or change the relationships in these settings, it may help to learn more about the way a system influences the behavior, feelings, and well-being of everyone involved. My specialty is dealing with complexity as it affects individuals in larger social systems. In complex systems every individual plays a role in the family drama. The roles can't be easily changed without outside coaching because everyone tries to keep the status quo by doing more of what they usually do."

"Treating families and individuals with trauma, grief, codependency, and substance abuse."

"At the root of your suffering and joy are your answers to these kinds of questions: How is your relationship with yourself? How are your relationships with others? Are you aware of what truly nourishes and sustains you? Do you actively cultivate these? Over 25 years of providing psychotherapy in a clinic setting then private practice, life coaching, training and consultation of helping professionals, extensive postgraduate training and rich life experience have well prepared me to ask and help you answer potentially life-changing questions, within a safe supportive environment."

"I am a skilled and experienced psychotherapist and certified yoga teacher offering an eclectic, individualized and holistic approach to clients. I provide ongoing or short term support, guidance and skills to those having difficulty coping with life transitions, dysfunctional patterns of thinking or behaviors and traumatic events. I treat adults, children and families who are open and willing to participate in self-discovery and find deeper connection to their truest self. I believe the frenzied pace of our frenetic lifestyle often prevents us from connecting with our own wisdom. I take great joy in helping others envision and manifest their potential."

"As someone who has been on both sides of the proverbial therapy couch, I truly appreciate the hard work that is put into coming to therapy. I take pride in helping you to feel at ease, understood, and validated while providing a setting that is empathetic, safe, and nonjudgmental. My ability to help individuals and their families gain strength, support, and motivation is what I enjoy most about being a part of your journey. I acknowledge the powerful connection between physical and emotional health and I honor this connection through each step we take together."

"I am passionate about helping others achieve goals, work through and problem solve as well as address significant mental health issues and obstacles that intrude, create havoc and prevent individuals from living happy and healthy. As well as a licensed clinical social worker, I also have a masters degree in communication disorders....I'll help you find how and what to say when words and the ability to express feelings are at a loss. Life is not a dress rehearsal....we only go around once!!"

"I am a nurse practitioner holding dual board certifications in psychiatry and family medicine. I specialize in the medical management of mental disorders of children, adults and the elderly. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, attention deficit disorder, dementia, substance abuse, among other conditions. In addition I am registered to certify patients for Medical Marijuana. For those that prefer to address their issues from home, telehealth is available."

"I believe that ultimate wellness encompasses 8 different aspects of life. Wellness is more than just health. The model I use in therapy includes physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and intellectual wellness. This brings a holistic approach to evidence-based theories which helps create a supportive environment conducive to growth. It is often difficult to identify where we struggle and how to blend these 8 branches to find homeostasis and balance. My goal as a therapist is to help bridge the gap and provide a safe environment for individuals to explore this therapeutic journey. "

"In my fifteen years of working in the behavioral health field, I have witnessed the damage that unmanageable behavior can have on individuals and those they love. This behavior is usually manifested in the misuse of drugs, and often an untreated (or undiagnosed) mental health condition such as PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, or Bipolar Disorder. By the time individuals seek help for these conditions, most often there has been a tremendous amount of hurt, shame, and guilt. I have a strong commitment to providing treatment in a safe, respectful, and confidential setting where individuals and families can begin to heal from these painful wounds."

"When we are faced with life's challenges we are often left feeling overwhelmed and alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space, and a trusted partner, who you can work with to create a more peaceful and meaningful life. Let's work together to navigate the difficult process of changing unhealthy responses to life's challenges. I focus treatment on restoring hope by using a strengths-based approach to building self-esteem and instituting concrete coping skills to rewire neural pathways that have been hardwired to perpetuate depression, anxiety and unhealthy behaviors."

"Are you ready to zero in on your goals at last? Or do you need to stop and take stock of what the heck is happening, inside and out, right now? We all need sometimes to go full speed ahead and sometimes to become still and listen. My intent is to help you live fully and joyfully, fast and slow, by blending skills I've picked up over years of training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, life coaching, and insight meditation."

"My hope is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to offer you the opportunity for self-growth, self-reflection, and develop ultimate balance within yourself. My practice is psychodynamically informed and inspired by a belief that properly guided therapeutic work can provide a sense of freedom when we are motivated and willing to make brave changes. My priority is to build a strong therapeutic connection in order to inspire and support your growth. I specialize in adolescents and adults struggling with mood disorders, substance abuse/misuse disorders, eating disorders, gender identity and sexuality issues, and survivors of trauma."

"I believe it is a privilege to enter your world and share your experience. In therapy, I believe in asking good questions and standing beside you as you choose healing, wellness, and meaningfulness. I use an eclectic mix of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and Integrative Medicine, based specifically on your needs and goals. "
