"Life can be exciting, scary, beautiful, painful, and most often is a combination of all of these. It may feel that the ground beneath us constantly shifts as we work to keep our balance. Some days it is a challenge just to get out of bed and face the day. Other days seem easy, we have energy and we wonder how to make it last. At times we may find ourselves engaging in unhealthy behaviors trying to quiet the anxiety that never completely resolves no matter how hard we try. Self-doubt creeps in, we question not only our choices but our very selves. Traumatic events, recent or remote, may shake our foundation and make us wonder if we will ever feel safe again. Life is hard and messy and beautiful, all at the same time. Therapy can help you discover your personal strengths and resources, allowing you to confidently face the hard and messy parts. Therapy can also help you connect with your courage to pursue and embrace all that makes life beautiful for you. In addition to acceptance, empathy and guidance, I offer my belief in your ability to grow and flourish when you can’t find it in yourself. "

"Seeking help when in emotional distress can be challenging and isolating, and I hope to bring comfort and relief to that process. It can feel like no one understands what you might be experiencing, or may even be difficult to understand your own emotions. In processing those emotions, thoughts, or experiences, you can work towards achieving clarity, insight, and move forward towards acceptance and change. My initial goal in therapy is to make you feel comfortable and to build a therapeutic and healing relationship. "

"I believe that the relationship between the patient and therapist is sacred. Many people come to therapy having been betrayed by important people in their lives, and having a trustworthy and consistent therapist can help patients repair these wounds. I consider it my life’s work to help patients work through their past hurts so that they can live healthier and happier lives. “Sometimes we have to go backward in order to go forward.” My sentiments are also backed by research, as the therapeutic alliance is the single most important factor for therapeutic success. I am committed to building this foundation with all of my patients."

"As an Licensed professional counselor, I believe the relationship between the therapist and client is an integral aspect of the counseling experience, working closely with my clients to ensure they meet their specific goals. I work with a client centered approach, helping you identify the areas you want to work on, while also helping you come to an awareness and understanding about who you are and the direction you want to take. Creating an environment that allows you to feel comfortable, supported and not judged allows for a productive use of the time we will spend together."

"Entering therapy is an act of self care that takes courage. It is an opportunity to take pause and honor who we are and how we got here. My approach is to encourage clients to dig deep into what it means to be happy, content, and fulfilled. This process is as much about the questions as it is the answers. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves and their relationships, build insight and distress tolerance, and to develop a "toolbox" to better communicate and relate with their loved ones. Combined, this results in a refined awareness of self and a deeper permission to feel, change, and grow. "

"I have been in practice for 30+ years. I graduated from Temple University in 1988 with a Master's Degree in Social Work. During my College studies I studied the theories of Salvador Minuchin, Jay Haley, and Carl Whitaker. I utilize that training in order to make my work with Individuals, Children, Families and Couples the best it can be. I am a recognized authority on the diagnosis and treatment for ADHD and OCD. I am known for my expertise in helping Adults deal with depression, anxiety,diabetes & pain management. I consider all options in treatment planning."

"My practice is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families. Entering therapy is a significant decision and making this decision comes from a place of strength. I have an appreciation for this strength, and consider it an important part of the therapy process. Making personal changes can be challenging. The aim of therapy is to help people make changes within their thoughts, feelings, and relationships that lead to being their most authentic self. I consider myself as an invited guest into the client's life and it is an honor to be a part of the process."

"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that follows a strength-based, client-centered approach.

"Just by clicking on this profile, you have taken the first step in helping yourself. I work with people who are struggling with such issues as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, sexuality, and alternative relationship structures. My personal belief that a therapist must start from a place of honesty and work with, not against clients. No matter what brings a client in to seek therapy, they are unhappy and need a judgement free space to unpack their burdens and to have someone who is there for them. I place a high value on client's personal history and the strengths that they bring to the table. "

"Most people in your life would be surprised to know that you have internal struggles because you hide it well, but deep down inside you feel unfulfilled and unhappy. While some areas of your life are good, other areas never seem to improve no matter how hard you work on them. There seems to be this pattern of behavior that constantly gets in your way. It appears as if something is always holding you back, you feel stuck and unsure of how to move forward. You want to learn how to love and accept yourself and improve the quality of your relationships, starting with the relationship with yourself."

"I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who takes a holistic strength based approach on clients needs by working on identifying and dialing in on their inherent skills and talents to tackle hardship and stress.
