"I believe we each have an innate resilience and I believe that as we discover this resilience we are able to more easily reconnect with ourselves, and then more easily reconnect with each other and our surroundings."

"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."

"I work with people who feel overwhelmed--by work, big transitions, relationships, family, life. My approach is gentle, non-judgmental, and deep. I enjoy helping clients become more fully aware of themselves and of the patterns that hold them back in life, and working with them to feel more grounded and connected with themselves and with others. Many of my clients are people who are in helping professions or caretaking roles. Many are women or non-binary, and are longing to feel more at home in their own skin and more confident in their own strength, beauty, and wisdom. "

"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'm a psychotherapist experienced in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD and more. I help people better cope with distressing symptoms and stressful situations/events, such as trauma, grief & loss, life transitions. I work with clients to find strength, meaning, joy and relief while adjusting to challenges-- whether marriage, divorce, relocation, career change, any new role or phase in life. I work with individuals, couples & families to achieve greater peace, understanding & satisfaction in relationships, enhance parenting skills, stress & anger management skills, along with skills and strategies to improve self-esteem, self-care, emotional regulation, personal boundaries, mindfulness, and more."

"Loving someone who is addicted to a substance is a fast track to struggle and suffering. You love them and feel resentful towards them at the same time. Struggling to find the balance between "tough love" and "enabling"? Setting healthy limits may leave you feeling guilty and hopeless. I work with individuals and couples that are struggling because someone they love is addicted. In our work we will explore the three C's. You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it."

"Perhaps you are grieving a loss, navigating a major life change, experiencing difficulties in relationship or seeking to explore life's meaning and your place in it. I am a seasoned therapist specializing in holistic (mind, body and spirit) psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families and groups in-person and online (residents of NC and CA). A Place for Grief™ provides a safe sanctuary in which your concerns and challenges can become a catalyst for your healing, growth and transformation."

"I believe that each individual has the internal resources and wisdom they need to thrive. I see therapy as a way to support clients with reconnecting with and learning how to listen to and follow their inner knowing. I work with individuals who desire to feel capable and empowered, to experience more joy and abundance in their lives, to more fully embrace who they are, to create sustainable and fulfilling relationships, and to be able to ride the waves of their emotions with a deep sense of peace and stability."

"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."

"Many women who've survived trauma (sexual, physical, or emotional) experience fear, anxiety, difficulty feeling safe in their bodies and trusting themselves. Pregnancy can bring these issues to the forefront in a big way. I provide a safe space in my counseling office where you can feel free to talk through what you're feeling and experiencing, without judgment."

"**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** No matter the circumstance, I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and reach his or her full potential. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, resiliency, and compassion. I believe healing is not a linear process and is unique to each individual. I am passionate about facilitating a safe environment that allows individuals to explore their own path to self-discovery. I use experiential, expressive arts, body-based, cognitive, and behavioral approaches in my work with clients. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, loss, and eating disorders."

"I love working with adolescents and individuals in the big transition stages of life. This includes people in their 20's, 30's, and 40's. I find I am particularly well suited to helping teens and parents as well as younger to middle adults sort out the often confusing and disorienting realization that there is no "right" way to do things. The journey is about figuring out a happy medium between your way and what is acceptable to those that love and support you."

"Most people who identify a need for therapy seem to be dealing with natural defense systems that help manage shock and developmental trauma. A defense response may be anxiety, depression, dissociation, psychosis, avoidant attachment, etc. A part of therapy is simply developing understanding and acceptance of defense mechanisms, then there is more capacity to reclaim or recover self regulation, co-regulation and self concept. I am interested in working with all people who have experienced trauma and as well as getting to the causal factors, developing grounding in the present and hope about the future."

"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."

"Connecting to and honoring our inherent self worth is central to the process of making lasting change in our life. With a strong therapeutic relationship that is grounded in trust, safety, and compassion, I provide an opportune space for you to begin to accept who you are - right here, right now, in this very moment. I can help identify the changes you want to make and how to move toward them, with a fuller acceptance of yourself along the way."

"I am passionate about working with adults and adolescents 17 years of age and older who identify as being "not enough" and those who perceive themselves as different than the social norm in regards to matters of sexualty, gender and / or spirituality. I work with individuals in various stages of the coming out process regarding sexual or gender identity as well as those wrestling with spiritual concerns."

"Sometimes the stress and pain of living life can get us off track and into a rut. Going through transitions, challenges, and deciding who we want to be in life can often cause us pain. For many of us it's not that complicated what we want: we want to feel better! We want to live a life that is fulfilling. We just don't always know how to do that."
