"WORK. LIFE. BALANCE. If you are driven and ambitious or a passionate creative, we can work together toward a balance among the professional, personal, and inner aspects of your life. You might also want to work with me to develop concrete social strategies to navigate the challenging interpersonal dynamics of a competitive workplace. My area of expertise is identity development. I have a strong background helping people manage issues related to personal and social identity, crisis/trauma, substance abuse, and the emotions that can underlie destructive behavior. Depending upon your needs and beliefs, I also address the role of spirituality."

"I am passionate about helping children, teenagers and adults process and heal from difficult life experiences. Regarding children, I am a Registered Play Therapist and help children process and express themselves through developmentally appropriate therapeutic play. For several years I have been working with young children who have experienced trauma, especially sexual abuse. I know how devastating the experience of sexual abuse or assault can be to children and their families, and I can help you navigate the process of healing, as well as working with the victim's advocate, child protection team and court."

"I believe that people are resilient as I witness it every day. However, life can be challenging. Whether the challenge is a situational stressor, unexpected event, a transition, life experience, personal history, relationships, or our own internal struggle, these challenges can impact our lives and functioning in unexpected ways that even the most resilient person can have difficulties coping with or processing. Therapy can be helpful in addressing life's difficulties and making our emotional pain transformative. I also believe that for therapy to be helpful, the client's emotional safety and fit between the client and therapist are critical."

"If you're looking for a comfortable, safe and authentic therapeutic environment free of judgment and conducive to healing, look no further! My energy and passion for the mental health profession are evident by the unconditional positive regard I provide to every client that I encounter. I have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns. I have extensive experience working with the college student population who experience issues with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts and phase of life problems."

"Individuals, couples, and families deserve the right to overcome life's challenges. Even the strongest can get bogged down by sadness, worry, stress, or difficulties in close relationships. Moreover, even the best couples find themselves stuck in patterns of poor communication often resulting in feelings of disconnectedness despite the desire for closeness. Lastly, the family is one of the most important environments that shape our lives. Yet unexpected events can derail individual and family relationships and development. My goal is to help you tap into the courage and strength you posses and move from distress to empowerment. "

"Things can easily get overwhelming. Before you know it, everything seems to fall apart. You try each day to get things back on track, to worry less, to force on a smile but nothing works. Other people may seem bothered by you or maybe you can't stand being around people anymore. Either way, your relationships are hurting and so are you. Nothing feels like it used to. Therapy can help you try to get back to your normal self, maybe even better than before."

"Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be."

"I feel privileged when a distressed family, couple, or individual allows me to accompany and guide them through their healing journeys. My clients include children (age 6-18) and adults who are dealing with issues such as anticipatory or post-death grief, difficulty adjusting to life transitions (including but not limited to adolescence, launching of children, empty nest, job loss), depression, stress or anxiety, traumatic stress, computer addiction, couple problems, divorce, blended or adoptive family adjustment, pre-adoption decision making, and adult survival from childhood sexual abuse."

"So, you are thinking about therapy for you or a loved one? I would like to welcome you to your first step to a new journey. Choosing the right therapist can be intimidating and overwhelming. It's important for you or your loved one to feel safe and comfortable in a therapeutic environment. Having over nineteen years of experience in the mental health field and over seven in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life. "

"Psychoeducational testing can empower learners, parents, teachers and other individuals to make informed decisions by identifying and examining academic, cognitive, behavioral and social/emotional strengths and weaknesses. I have 21 years experience in assessing individuals to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, intellectual disorders and intellectual giftedness and offering research-based recommendations for appropriate instruction and interventions. For high school, college students, and other individuals, I provide assessments to determine the need for accommodations on high stakes tests, in the classroom or in the work place. I also offer ADHD Coaching to adults who are interested in developing better organizational and goal-setting skills."

"I am passionate about helping people find hope and healing.

I have additional experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma and much of that time has been working with survivors of sexual abuse/assault. My goal is to help individuals process their experiences and reach adaptive and healthy resolutions so they can face the future with confidence."

"Focus: college students and professionals struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or relationship issues. I'm trained in evidence-based therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which concludes that through mindful meditation, we can defuse ourselves from our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to commit to value-congruent actions in a way that brings us life purpose. I am also passionate about working with couples, helping them navigate through their struggles at any point in their relationship or deal with sensitive issues. Lastly, I'm a sex-positive Sex Therapist who welcomes individuals to explore their sexual issues in a safe and non-judgmental setting."

"Reaching out for help is a big step and I acknowledge the courage in your efforts to find healing. It is my true belief that difficulties in life are inevitable, but suffering is optional; there is help. With a patient, warm, and empathetic ear, you will receive my undivided attention as I attempt to help you find your inner peace. The counseling environment is warm, collaborative, and designed to foster healing and growth. As your therapist, my entire focus would be to remain present with you as I express my genuine regard for your wellbeing."

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I try to offer affordable mental health counseling, because I believe that therapy should be accessible to all who need it. I also offer art therapy, play therapy, and life coaching. I want to help you to feel better--and help you to achieve the goals that matter to you. If you want, you can try a phone or online session (so you can do therapy from the comfort of home). I really look forward to working with you. At times, therapy takes effort, but it's rewarding to see the results!"

"I work with adults and couples, as well as with children and teens. During my 30 years of practice, I have found the most effective therapies are practical, easy to understand, and focused on reaching your goals. It is my privilege to offer you my expertise along with a nonjudgmental attitude, compassion, and a sense of humor. I tend to have a directive style, in a solution focused approach to issues."
