"My areas of expertise come from formal training and hours of working through the top complaints of people in distressed relationships. Concerns expressed often include: we don't communicate, I feel like roommates, he doesn't talk, she thinks I can read her mind, sex is almost obsolete, whatever I do is never good enough, we aren't on the same page with parenting, I get no help around the house, I feel like a single parent, texting and social media emotional affairs and/or physical affairs have taken place"."

"Each person has the ability to transform any challenge into evidence of their own strength, resilience and success as long as she or he has the courage to ask for and accept help when help is needed. There is no shame in asking for a doctor's assistance with an injury or condition, just as there is no shame in seeking a therapist's aid when a problem has become too complicated for you or your support network to resolve on your own. Let me help you discover that there is proof in hope."

"I believe every voice deserves to be heard. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to what we have to say. I strive to give full attention to everyone I see, it helps to know you have someone sharing the experiences with you, helping you to build the coping skills you need to face them, to make you a stronger version of the unique person you already are. I have worked in the social work/counseling field since 1996 and have learned through experience that people are different as individuals but we are all the same, desiring to live happy fulfilling lives."

"Life can be difficult and confusing. I am here to help you sort through the pain to find hope and healing for the days ahead. The hurt can be deep, going back to earliest memories or coming from present hardships. Counseling you is about establishing a safe place, a loving environment of grace. My tools come from my training and from nearly 20 years of experience, but each person is exquisitely unique, so no therapeutic relationship is the same as any other. It is an honor and privilege to share deeply in your life and the lives of your family."

"Ideally, I work with individuals who are 14 years of age and older who are struggling to tell their story, as well as those who need someone safe to listen to them, or those who have had a difficult time articulating all their menu of options might contain. Life is a complicated, interwoven maze of connection and disconnection and it is my privilege to hold space for folks to examine their experiences I have almost seven years experience working with clients who have struggled with substance addiction issues. I have experience treating clients with childhood and adult trauma and plan to be trained in EMDR in January 2019. "

"Finding the right therapist for YOU and the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors associated with positive therapy results. I place primary importance on our relationship providing an atmosphere of safety, warmth and understanding. While I have a wealth of professional and personal knowledge and expertise in individual and family recovery from addictions/compulsive behaviors, family of origin issues and life patterns that prevent authentic living, I do not approach the relationship as an "expert" but rather as a supportive guide who joins you on the journey."

"There are times in all of our lives in which we find ourselves struggling. Sometimes it is hard to go through the struggle alone. I offer counseling from a Christian perspective while respecting the values and beliefs of every individual, couple, and family. Counseling can be beneficial for current issues, past hurts, and for those seeking growth in their lives."

"Life is now. We all experience inner and outer obstacles that interfere with living life to its fullest. Growth / progress usually stems from understanding who we are, what needs to change within ourselves and our relationships, learning new ways to heal, forgive, and communicate, and letting go of patterns that interfere. Therapy is unique for each of us. I integrate and tailor various approaches to address the mind, body, and spirit. We will partner together to address your goals. I will bring compassion, creativity, sensitivity, warmth, accountability, insight, and humor to our work together."

"I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. My practice encompasses individual, couples, and family therapy. I use the Family Systems Theory approach emphasizing interpersonal communication, role structure, and Bowenian Theory. Areas of expertise include the following: marital and premarital relationships; adolescent problems; geriatric and grand-parenting issues; and work/career related challenges."

"I strive to provide a safe space for all clients to explore the issues bringing them to therapy and what underlies those issues. As a multicultural/relational therapist identities that are important to you provide a background for therapy (race, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, political affiliations, gender identity, gender, sex, ableness, etc.) as those identities make up who you are. Relationships and how you relate with others are also important. I treat anxiety, depression, grief/loss, phases of life issues, family issues, women's issues and men's issues. I am also a sex and gender specialist."

"When you are hurting you need someone to talk to who will help you figure out what to do. There are always changes we can make to be less miserable. I particularly enjoy working with couples having marital problems, with teenagers, and with people dealing with grief and loss."

"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Mental Health Service Provider (LPC, MHSP) with over 22 years in the field of counseling. Having worked in areas of trauma recovery, family counseling, addiction, team building & guidance, I can offer many perspectives when helping you work through the reason(s) you have come for counseling. I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), EAGALA, DBT, Natural Lifemanship, Equine-Assisted EMDR , CBT & Experiential Therapies. I also provide individual & group Supervision for counselors wanting to obtain their LPC."

"I understand how difficult it is to ask for help and how painful it could be to talk about things that are not working with a stranger. I feel honored every time my client opens up to me. I treat my clients with respect, kindness, and warmth. In my experience, therapeutic relationship is the foundation of the healing process and I work very hard to help my clients feel heard, understood, supported, and safe in my office."
