It is the case that life is rarely as we expect it to be and may seem more difficult and confusing than we can bear alone. You may expend a tremendous amount of energy holding it together or trying to maintain the appearance of perfection leaving you feeling depleted and unfulfilled. My hope is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you to help sort out your emotions, enhance your relationships, understand yourself, achieve goals, and facilitate healing.

As children we create beliefs about ourselves and the world around us that are a result of our interactions with our environment, our heredity and, our relationships with others. Everyday we reinforce those beliefs by our assumptions and our interpretation of events, even though those beliefs may no longer be accurate, may cause us pain, and may negatively impact our ability to function at optimum potential. Counseling and hypnotherapy facilitate awareness, change, empowerment and growth.

Hi, I am Dr. D! Thanks for visiting my profile. Why should you consider receiving counseling services with me? Well, I believe in accepting people as they are and assisting them with becoming a better them! You can expect to be treated with respect and great care during our counseling partnership. My goal is to establish a connection with my clients to create a life-coping tool box that will strengthen them when feeling depressed, anxious, lonely, abandoned, taken for granted, rejected, and other common problems we may experience as humans in order to help them with creating a New Life! We will be a team working together.

I work with children, adolescents and adults, in varying degrees of distress. Many clients enter their therapeutic relationship with presenting problems which may include depression, anxiety, dysfunction in a primary relationship, or grief and loss. Others present addiction and codependency patterns that cause chronic difficulties with maintaining healthy relationships. Some suffer trauma that remains buried and entangled deep within. All are seeking a new path out of their suffering and into an enlightened experienced of themselves and the world. Together we will seek that fresh perspective, allowing old wounds to heal and creating space for a renewed vision of hope.

As a therapist who cares about her clients and their struggles, my goal is to help you achieve a fulfilling life while effectively handling any pain or suffering you may be experiencing. My method of therapy, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, is an empirically supported approach that has been "astoundingly effective" with improving a wide range of problems, including depression, relationship issues, family conflict, poor self-worth, and stress at work.

Welcome! I am so glad you're here. I know that while you may be suffering, you are also surviving in the best way that you know how. You have an untapped reservoirs of strength and wisdom inside you. By honoring your inherent capacity for healing and growth, I will help guide you on your journey to reach your fullest potential.

My guiding philosophy in working with clients is that what is right with a person can enable them to overcome what is wrong with them. My years of working with patients in various treatment settings have only strengthened that view. Whether the issue is depression, trauma, painful personal loss or getting through a difficult crossroad in one's life, my basic approach is to help the person find their own pathways to healing. This is like a process of making "repairs," not of the body necessarily, but repairing one's perspective on life and finding the wherewithal to constructively move forward.

I provide a safe environment for clients to process their issues. I believe that psychotherapy is more than talk therapy. I am excited about the new research and treatments that focus on mind and body (somatic memories). I have an integrative approach to therapy. I work best with complex trauma (emotional and physical, including childhood neglect) and resulting anxiety and depression. I work well with grief related issues (complicated grief) and problems that arise from chronic illnesses.

Living authentically and compassionately leads to inner peace. Trauma and distress can cause a plethora of confusing responses, making that peace seem unobtainable. Each person brings their own worldview, experiences, strengths and clues to unburdening oneself from the overwhelm. Healing and moving forward can seem daunting. Therapy transforms the mind-body system, leading to increased self-energy and clarity. Now also offering training for schools and organizations on becoming trauma-informed!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been practicing for over 20 years I have extensive experience working with adults, couples and families including children, adolescents. I work with each person from a person-centered perspective, focusing on strengths while identifying needs and deficits. My approach allows for thorough evaluations, comprehensive diagnoses, and prompt recommendations. My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief.

Life can be difficult. Sometimes we need some help. Do you need help to get back on track? Do you need assistance to overcome continual struggles and relational conflicts? I can help you get moving in the right direction. I will assist you in this process not with simple advice or a few superficial skills but with insightful interaction and relational engagement. Your life can change! I can support you each step of the way towards a life with more purpose, harmony and peace. Life can be different. Contact me. Meet with me one time and see change is possible.

Do you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or have difficulty relaxing? Perhaps you are able to maintain a calm façade, but inside you worry something bad is going to happen or that people will think badly of you. Chronic stress and worry can come at the cost of your overall well-being. Please know you are not alone. No matter what your personal struggles, I offer a safe and compassionate environment that encourages positive change.

Do you know the secrets to a happy romantic relationship? Relationships can be confusing. Couples who call me say that they've "lost interest in each other", and sometimes "don't even want to go home at night". Or that over the years they've "drifted apart" and feel like they "live more as friends". They've stopped being affectionate with each other and feel as though their partner stopped seeing them as important. Somehow the magic left their relationship. The dance has ended.

My specialty is with children and adolescents, especially with regard to behavioral problems. I engage parents and caretakers on implementing basic and effective behavioral responses in order to improve compliance, respectful behavior, and contribution to the household using behavioral and family therapy models. I also apply CBT and insight therapy with children and adolescents to improve mood and anxiety management, coping skills, and effective social skills. In addition I have extensive experience applying individual, family and marital counseling with adults addressing Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Trauma, and Anxiety among other issues and concerns.

I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with Eating Disorders and a variety of Mental Health needs. I am Health at Every Size aligned and utilize Intuitive Eating principles.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am qualified by training and experience to treat adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of mental health issues.

Life can be stressful, but when you are confronted with major change, loss or trauma the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. Therapy can help support, guide and heal current and past events, heal depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, abuse, as well as change patterns that continue to prevent relationship, social and professional goals from being met.

I enjoy working with clients from a variety of different backgrounds and mental health concerns. As a therapist, I strive to be non-judgmental, understanding, and supportive to my clients above all while helping them meet their individualized goals. I believe clients are the experts regarding their situations and I can learn from them just as much as they can learn from me.
