"Struggles are a normal part of life and sometimes we get stuck. I create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients that facilitates healing and growth. I value the relational connections that are developed through counseling. Working hand in hand with my clients, we combine my training and experience with their expertise about who they are, what brought them in and where they want to go. I help people find comfort in their emotions, equipping them with skills and insight in order to manage and benefit from them, rather than be controlled by them. "

"I would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. I also understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, empowering and creative environment in which my clients can work towards their individual goals. My commitment is to come along side you by providing skills, knowledge, reflection, support, and encouragement."

"Most of my work is with individual teens and adults, and with marriages and families. My strength is in creating a comfortable fit and a clear goal and direction in the therapy work. I have a warm, caring style, with emphasis on clarifying the problems in your life, looking for practical solutions, and focusing on your inner emotional experience for clues as to how we can best find pathways to healing. I am interactive, giving feedback and recommendations. I am passionate about making a difference in my clients' lives and personalizing the therapy sessions to your needs."

"Relationships of any kind can cause pain and confusion. It's hard to know what went wrong or why cycles of toxic relationships keep happening. People are drawn to loved ones for caring support. When these relationships become hurtful, it is common to feel isolated, trapped in your own home, and desperately needing clarity and peaceful stability. While the pain is real, there is great joy in taking steps towards healthier relationships. You deserve all the trust, encouragement, and companionship that positive people can bring to your life."

"I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. By attending therapy you may obtain objective feedback, gain clarity of difficult issues, and develop individualized solutions that work for your particular situation. As a licensed clinical psychologist my goal is to offer a safe, supportive environment to work collaboratively with you and/or your family to meet your goals."

"Relationships touch every aspect of our lives and are powerful to either destroy or restore. I believe that we are designed to thrive in secure attachments. That is why I focus on nurturing relational healing where once there was brokenness. I have a heart for helping people come out of relational hiding patterns to experience greater safety and trust. Together, we will work to loosen the hold that shame and fear have had in their lives and prepare them to walk in greater freedom."

"I help women get out of and stay out of abusive relationships. This includes women who love an addict or have a partner that is emotionally, verbally, spiritually, financially or physically abusive. I have developed a treatment model for partners in these dysfunctional relationships called "Relationship Recovery." I have over 30 years experience. I am EMDR certified which is a type of therapy that can resolve symptoms associated with trauma and anxiety. I train and supervise other counselors. I work with clients as young as 2 through 64 years of age."

"I am a clinical psychologist who uses an orientation to treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My area of expertise is such that I am equipped to work with clients struggling with a multitude of issues, such as depression, anxiety, anger. These emotional issues might be precipitated by stressors in the client's life, such as loss of a job, marital conflict, financial strain. Sometimes people feel unhappy or anxious, with no identifiable reason. By using an approach to treatment that actively helps to lessen negative feelings I aide people in living a more productive life."

"I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have focused my career on working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. I received my Master's in counseling psychology from Northwestern University. My approach to therapy involves creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their feelings. I strive to create a supportive environment in which positive changes can take place. I work with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as relationship issues, identity formation, and life transitions. Together, we will develop goals for treatment and find an approach that is effective for you."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a lifelong passion of working with children, adolescents, and adults improve their levels of social and emotional well-being. I have over 20 years of extensive experience working in private practice and in the public schools as a school psychologist and school administrator. I also provide individual therapy, cognitive and academic assessments, and school consultations. Over the span of my career, I have treated ADHD, substance abuse, bipolar, psychotic and personality disorders. "

"I help individuals impacted by addiction overcome the traumas they experienced in an uncertain, distrustful, and chaotic home environment. These family members affected by dysfunction in childhood and/or in their adult life are often haunted by feelings of extreme loneliness, struggles with perfectionism, avoidance of their feelings, relationship difficulties, codependency issues, anxiety, and various types of family conflict. I support my clients in reconnecting with themselves while restoring their relationships. My step by step treatment approach guides them in healing their emotional wounds finding acceptance and forgiveness. "

"Everybody thinks you're happy. After all, you always seem to have a smile on your face. Somehow, you're always able to stay strong. You're intelligent and driven, goal-oriented and independent. Sometimes a little too independent. You enjoy putting others before yourself. For the most part, you're pretty easy-going, while staying on top of things. You're well-liked, and yet you feel like a fraud. You've been through so much. On the inside, you feel like you're falling apart. Careful who you let in for fear of being hurt. . . again. You're tired of faking it. "

"I am a warm and compassionate therapist specializing in helping people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, divorce, and parenting issues.

I provide a comfortable environment for clients to explore their life challenges so that they can build on their unique strengths and attain the growth they are looking for. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families."

"I have a long history of helping people make changes that lead to significant improvement in self-regard and the ability to function and thrive. One of my favorite aspects of being a therapist is the genuine, experience-based optimism that my practice history allows me to bring to meeting with clients. I enjoy working with clients of all ages with a variety of presenting issues including self-esteem and life struggles such as relationship conflicts, grief, loss and transitions such as divorce. I also enjoy helping people with depression, anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, phobias, and PTSD), and ADHD."

"I believe that you know yourself better than anyone and that a trusting and secure partnership between client and therapist is essential to successfully reaching your treatment goals. I strive to create this collaborative relationship with you and to provide you with the tools, support, and education necessary to overcome obstacles in your life. We can work together to help you change relationships, negative outlook, or behavior patterns that are holding you back from feeling fulfilled or happy."

"I want to help. I can help. I deeply respect and value working with you to change your life, to resolve your problems or achieve your goals.

I work to rebuild broken relationships in a manner that mends and strengthens bonds. I work to help the anxious and depressed manage emotional struggles, to live an emotionally surviving and thriving life."

"People should never have to walk alone while they are navigating through difficult emotions, behaviors, or experiences. To me, each one of us is important, valuable and enough. Since I began working with patients and families in 2009 as the Executive Director of Live4Lali, I have made it my objective to meet each person where they are at. There is no such thing as a cookie cutter case. Humans are way too unique, dynamic and complex. I am best suited to treating young men and women struggling with mental health, risky behaviors, and social challenges, and their families."
