"Are your relationships lacking happiness and intimacy? Do you feel stuck? With over 25 years in the mental health field, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Most people can benefit from learning how to cultivate and sustain harmonious relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you personal empowerment and compassion tools to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul."

"Feeling stuck? Ready for something new? Consider EMDR, a modality that uses your brain's natural processing to move through upsetting issues and memories getting in the way of your flow, happiness, and progress. EMDR is a useful treatment for a variety of issues to help you find resolution and regain your joyful engagement in life. Francine Shapiro, founder of EMDR has said if she could do it all over again she would rename it Reprocessing Therapy, as it allows stored memories to be reprocessed more effectively. Could EMDR be right for you?"

"We are all content, fulfilled and happy at our core; however, years of conditioning and habitual behaviors can obscure this fact. Areas where we experience significant distress may offer the greatest opportunities for growth. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in my belief that the key to improving our mental health lies in better integrating the mind and the body or the cognitive with our emotional / intuitive self. By creating a safe, compassionate and productive setting and drawing on your inherent strengths and motivation, I can guide you through this process."

"My primary focus in therapy - be it with individuals, couples or families - is to support and facilitate my clients in their journey to a deeper understanding and awareness of themselves. This goal is best achieved, I believe, by encouraging self-acceptance, compassion and insight, and by forming with each client a safe and nonjudgmental relationship. It is within this alliance that, together, we can explore, understand, and begin to gently dismantle the obstacles and unproductive patterns of coping that, although once useful - indeed often vital - in dealing with painful life events or childhood relationships, may now be keeping them from enjoying a more fulfilling life."

"The most powerful tool available to you is not the realization of who you are...it is the option to create who you want to be. My privilege is to work with clients who are deciding to give themselves choice in how they think, respond, and, therefore, feel. Unique as your story is, you are not alone in your needs - relief from anxiety, resolution of conflict, or ability to trust. Whether you feel you are stuck completely or have just been circling the same chapter forever...good news. You have permission to turn the page."

"My goal as a therapist is to help participants uncover their inner strength and ability to adapt to challenging life experiences. I enjoy creating new relationships based on the common goal of growth and I always attempt to make therapy an enjoyable experience, whether working with an 8 year old or a 49 year old! I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as well as the opportunities for nature and therapeutic activities to increase personal growth. Most importantly, I believe in the ability for positive change to occur with an individual who is dedicated to this pursuit."

"I am a pragmatic, down-to-earth therapist. Sometimes I will simply give you straightforward suggestions and support for handling problematic relationships or making difficult, life-changing choices. Or, I may suggest a deeper exploration of your history--both to provide insight and to allow a safe resolution of unfinished emotions. With couples, my primary focus is on cleaning up your communication skills. I am a certified Imago therapist, which means I also may work with your family histories to discover more about where your "hot buttons" come from, and help both of you to be less reactive."

"Entering into counseling takes both courage and vulnerability. I treat individuals with trauma/anxiety and or substance use disorders. The approach that I use is one of trust and mutual respect, believing that every person has within them everything they need to grow and learn in life. Identifying and drawing forth those skills and strengths as well as an action plan for change is crucial for problem resolution. My approach in counseling is holistic as is my approach to self-healing, working with body, mind, and Spirit. They are truly connected. Working with any one area will impact the others."

"It can be difficult to find a pathway towards relief and change. However, the experience of compassion and joy is something that exists in each of us and is our birthright. All parts of ourselves- our biology, our longings, and our mental experience- engage in an effort to protect or recover this essential experience. Through post-graduate studies and many years in practice, I have gained an immense respect both for my clients and the sensitivity, worth, and depth of our inner lives."

"Do you feel like you are fraying at the seams and barely keeping it together? Tired of well-meaning family and friends saying things that make you feel worse? When life throws curve balls--unexpected change, disappointment, death, divorce--we experience a range of complex feelings. Socially we have learned to avoid, cover up, manage, and minimize instead of acquiring the tools for effectively moving through the hard stuff of life--grieving well and healing. It's a heavy, lonely burden to carry and can impact your health, relationships, mood, energy, and passion. Reclaiming life is possible!"

"I specialize in Transpersonal Psychology and use The Inner Counselor(tm) Process or EMDR, while blending indigenous teachings to allow the freedom of natural healing-both in the office and in nature. I enjoy working with all genders, with a special focus on women over forty who are curious about their inner wisdom and spirit that is ready for the next step of exploration and growth."

"I am passionate about helping children, teens, women and parents find their way in relationship with each other and the complex world in which we live. I bring an eclectic approach to counseling, valuing above all the relationship that forms between therapist and client. I am honored to bear witness to an individual's story and journey back to balance. In addition to supportive counseling, I have been trained in play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and parent education. I offer individual counseling as well as small group therapy for children and teens of all ages."

"You are here because of conflict, infidelity, lack of intimacy and you feel disconnected in your relationship. You've been trying to reconnect but when your relationship is crisis, it can be hard to bridge the gap yourselves. When you can't trust your partner, where do you start? You're hurt, scared and lost but It's possible to let go of the pain and face your fears. Whether you're ready to come in as an individual or as a couple, we can work together to find solutions. No judgement here. It's time to get to work."

"I work from the idea that all of our life experiences are opportunities to discover ourselves. The road to peace, health, healing, purpose, meaning, and happiness is learning how to allow and be more of YOU, and less of who you think you should/ need to be. You and I will process your story, get to know your patterns, see what is getting in the way, and ultimately help you feel empowered and inspired."

"**Please note: I am not accepting new clients at this time. Let's be honest: life is really tough sometimes. I work with people who are experiencing major life changes: having a baby, relationship and marriage difficulties, coping with a difficult birth experience, mood and anxiety issues in pregnancy and the postpartum period, shifts in sexuality, and changes in identity. I also work with clients who are in a funk and don't know why. You may have tried a lot of strategies to feel better, and they're not working--you feel stuck."

"Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years' experience, offering you a safe, accepting environment as I listen, interact, and help guide you in resolving issues of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, abuse and trauma, relationship conflicts, feeling stuck in repetitive patterns, etc. Or perhaps you are suffering a major life transition such as divorce, loss of a loved one, change in career or home, and life feels upside down and sideways? I want to help, because I have lived through many of these transitions, understanding how painful they are, and how you can survive the changes, create joy, and thrive."

"Adults with ADHD tend to have challenges that keep them from attaining their personal life dreams and career success goals. Some of these challenges are distractibility, impulsivity, poor time management, procrastination, overwhelm, disorganization and clutter. Adults with ADHD also have a tendency to struggle more than others in their careers, in their love and family relationships and with friends and financially. The good news is there is hope and resources available to create a more successful, happy and prosperous life."

"Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed."

"I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the past 23 years serving diverse/multicultural populations that include adults, teens, couples, and families. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting environment where you feel comfortable to explore. discover and remove the blocks that have kept you trapped/struck from moving in the direction you desire. In my "toolbox," I employ various tech/strategies some of which you will learn to use on your own. I have been trained in a variety of modalities CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness - based cognitive therapy, play-therapy, music, art therapies, and family systems therapy."

"Whether you are in a crisis in your family or you are single and just want to improve your relationships, counseling can greatly impact the outcome. Having a supportive professional listen to your specific situation and help you with the tools to change or improve it is one of the most effective things that you can do, especially around areas of sexuality or trauma."
