"Does anxiety feel like it is hard to manage? Whether it's anxiety about your relationship, your sex life, your job, your social life, or your life in general, the symptoms are all too regular and familiar: racing heart, stomach churning, and feeling like you can't breathe just to name a few. If only you could just wish the anxiety away with logic. Your friends or partner tell you to just relax and stop overthinking, but you can't! Your mind won't listen. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get your mind to stop."

"Healing from trauma is always a courageous act and I consider it a privilege to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that honors your unique journey. My approach to therapy is gentle, perceptive, and honest. Utilizing mindfulness as well as principles of contemporary neuroscience, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that evokes the possibility for deep transformation. As a Gestalt trained therapist, I focus on the present and how the issues are presenting in the body and your current life. I approach clients in a deeply respectful manner, acknowledging that we all create adjustments as a way to cope with adversity."

"This is your first step in making the choice to feel better. By opening yourself up to counseling you will develop skills that help you manage and cope with life's daily stressors. This will aid you towards increased self-awareness and improved sense of control in your life. I am a solution-focused therapist who feels it is important to cultivate a positive view of yourself and identify your strengths to achieve these changes."

"Personal development ideally occurs throughout life. Depression, anxiety, and relational problems can be indicators that development has stalled. Learning to observe one's emotional life and behavior within a compassionate, therapeutic relationship can facilitate the insight necessary for change. As a therapist, I have worked with adults, adolescents and children, couples and families from a wide range of socio-economic, ethnic and racial backgrounds to help them accomplish their individual goals."

"If you ventured onto this site, I imagine you may be dealing with a stressor that is overwhelming. You took the first important step towards getting help, and that is great. I am a licensed clinical therapist with 13 years of experience working with individuals that are dealing with a variety of circumstances, including mental health issues, life transitions, and difficulty managing stress. The most important thing to me is understanding your particular situation, how you are experiencing life, and working together to teach you tools and techniques you can use to instill hope, peace of mind, and life satisfaction."

"I work with children, adolescents, and adults, utilizing a psychodynamic and behavioral approach and offering support for a variety of challenges and mental health disorders.

"A supportive, respectful, and trusting relationship between you and your therapist is paramount to the effectiveness of the therapy. My practice offers an alternative to large, impersonal mental health settings, and a personalized approach that encompasses current evidence-based and traditional treatment. I work primarily with individuals and couples who are struggling with life's difficulties. My personal specialties include relationship issues, anxiety, depression and grieving. My book, Loving Someone with Asperger's Syndrome: Understanding and Connecting with Your Partner, was released in 2012."

I combine traditional talk therapy, expressive art therapies, and experiential therapies in my work. You can begin to feel - and live - differently starting with your first session. I focus directly on what your needs, and together we can create significant change. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families faced with emotional upheaval of separation/divorce parenting/co-parenting, blending families. Addressing behavioral issues, anger, anxiety, depression, and withdrawal. When working with couples and indivduals I encourage healing and recovery within an integrative style of systemic therapy."

"You're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed, and you can't seem to move forward. You've been overly emotional, stressed out and can't seem to figure out why you are lashing out at loved ones. Maybe you're struggling with abusing substances and can't seem to stop. You've been crying more than you're used to and feel like you've lost control. These changes you see in yourself are starting to affect your personal relationships, your focus at work, and your ability to function on a daily basis. You feel like you're drowning and can't get out of the water. "

"I have a distinctive voice as a psychologist and father of an adult son with autism, speaking at conferences nationally and internationally on family issues.

"I believe that going to therapy is one of the greatest acts of courage and hopefulness one can engage in. It is identifying a problem in one's life, and committing to changing it. For the past 17 years, I have valued work with clients from diverse backgrounds who have allowed me into their lives in order to explore and partner with them in addressing problems. The issues we have worked on together have included anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting issues, life/work balance, trauma, and Attention Deficit Disorder."

"Does any of this sound like you? You're exhausted, anxious and stuck. Life feels overwhelming and no matter what you do, you don't feel good enough. Maybe you are in college or been out a few years and you feel like everyone except you has it "together". They are getting married, in great careers, and you are just... stuck. Maybe you have these things, but you still don't feel fulfilled. You beat yourself up, drink too much or are stuck in the cycle of trying the newest diet or wellness craze, hoping this will make you feel better. It's not working and you wonder if you will ever feel happy and content. It's time for a change. "

"I work individually with adolescents and adults seeking to explore, understand, and decrease a variety of symptoms and sense of personal struggle. I specialize in treating PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. Clients are deeply respected, along with the implications of trauma and the therapeutic process. I understand talking about painful past events is incredibly difficult, and it is always the person's choice to talk about it directly. Throughout the process, I work with the client to co-create and tailor the treatment to each person's unique needs, goals, and personal values."
