As a marriage and family therapist, I consider people’s contexts, or systems, from a smaller scale, such as family, friends, and intimate relationships, to a larger scale (sociocultural aspects) and how these factors intersect and influence your life. Even though I am specially trained in relational work (couple and family therapy), I also see clients individually.

This is for you! In life we have various roles and responsibilities that stretch us thin. Therapy is the one safe space that is catered to you. I focus on the natural unique strengths and capabilities we all have to help you on your journey to healing. In your personalized sessions I aim to be genuine while fostering a space of comfort, humor, empathy, and growth. While we embark on your journey we will prioritize progress, not perfection. As a therapist working for Move Forward Counseling Services, I have been trained in Strengths Perspective, Cognitive- Behavioral therapy, Multicultural counseling, and Trauma Informed Therapy.

Congratulations for taking the first step in trying to find a therapist. This is not an easy step. Now to finding the right fit. If you want concrete strategies and to learn ways to move forward my clinic is a way to go. We specialize in outcomes based (researched) treatment. I have been a DBT therapist for over 10 years and ERP for over 5 years. That means that if you have a hard time with information you don't like (distress tolerance), managing your emotions (emotional regulation), high intensity relationships (interpersonal effectiveness) and/or obsessive thoughts - we have several kinds of treatments that work.

You are unique, and so are your needs and goals. You're ready to move beyond talking about the issues. Together we can explore the obstacles that block you from living your life as your authentic self.

I am trained as both a counselor and an art therapist. I like to work with clients who have difficulty identifying or expressing their emotions. Art therapy is a way of working that helps you to express and experience thoughts and feelings when words fail. You do not need any artistic skill to do art therapy - just a willingness to explore with a sense of curiosity. I am certified in Internal Family Systems and integrate this approach into art and sandtray therapy.

Hello! I'm Dr. V., affectionately known as The Transformation Activator and The Mental Detox Therapist. I specialize in solution focused and all natural, integrative approaches that gets to the root of your concerns, including limiting beliefs, mental blocks, depression, anxiety, difficulties with attention/learning and sleep. First, I help you understand your symptoms and why they may exist. Then, I assist you with designing a step by step success plan to detox your mind and body and restore you back to optimal health and peak performance for next level success in your life, relationships, career and/ or educational journey.

Between the microaggressions that can come from working in the corporate setting, stress that comes from school assignments while navigating social groups, or dating and marriage highs and lows, life comes with so many obstacles and no manual on how to manage them. You have the capability and the strength to push through, and I believe that working together can help you to achieve the outcome you wish to obtain. Anxiety, sadness, tension in relationships, and isolation can all result from underlying issues, and I believe that every one of us can work towards our desired experiences in life.

ONLY TELETHERAPY SESSIONS AT THIS TIME. We all need someone to assist us as we navigate through life. Sometimes our family and friends are not enough when we are stuck or faced with a challenge or crisis. I offer you a neutral, objective and empathetic space. I believe in asking the right questions and guiding you into rediscovering your "inner expert" and becoming the best you, in your own way, style and time.

Generally, I use a combination of traditional cognitive behavioral techniques with strategies to improve motivation. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy are used for an integrated reinforcement of behavioral change. These blended techniques work on the goals through both a conscious behavioral and a subconscious level so that each aspect of the mind and being are congruent and working together. These techniques are indicated for addictions, mood disorders, stress relief, and wellness goals such as smoking cessation and weight reduction, or other compulsive behaviors.

Life can be challenging and down right unpredictable; there are situations or feelings that can be difficult to manage independently. At times, it can be beneficial to get assistance with maintaining your path to growth and success. My goal is to assist average people with making a positive transition through developing a therapeutic non-judgmental relationship.

We are all going through stressful times in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I will be available in the office or phone zoom for new and existing clients. I take all insurances and eaps . I help people of all ages (individuals & couples) with anxiety and depression. My clients have told me that I provide a relaxed and caring atmosphere. I understand that it can be a difficult step to come to therapy; I will help you feel comfortable. I provide a free consultation (no co-pay for your first meeting with me). I will work closely with you to set goals so you can start feeling better quickly. I also work with children and teens.

I am a psychotherapist and family life specialist. I'm passionate about facilitating individual growth and the healing of family relationships.

In addition, I provide family life education services for parenting, separated/divorced families, elderly care of parents, issues related to adult children returning home, biracial couples, and trans-racial adoptive/foster care families.

Do you struggle with negative feelings about yourself? Do you frequently compare yourself to others? Are you experiencing feelings of hopelessness and helplessness? Do you find yourself in chronic cycles of addictive behavior (overeating, binging & purging, alcohol or drug abuse, overspending. etc.) ? Are these addictive behaviors followed by feelings of guilt and depression? Are you easily overwhelmed? Are you feeling tired and discouraged? Are you suffering in silence with anxiety or visions of abuse? You no longer have to suffer. Emotional pain is an invitation to change!

There are many reasons why you may decide to begin therapy. The important thing is taking the first step toward an opportunity for you to discover ways of building new skills and gaining new knowledge to help you experience life in a more fulfilling way. My goal is to help you build skills to increase self awareness and self acceptance resulting in feeling empowered to reach your goals and improving your sense of well-being. I have worked with clients from children to adults in school and private settings. I believe in providing support in a peaceful and accepting atmosphere.

If you have experienced trauma or emotional pain in a current or past relationship, I am able to offer a safe,non-judgemental, empowering atmosphere as you gain insight and knowledge to move toward personal growth. It is my privilege to work with individuals of all ages with diverse spiritual and cultural backgrounds. I am invested in creating a nurturing and trusting environment in treatment in order for healing to take place, and I believe that an empathic and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the foundation for therapeutic growth.
