If you are trying to better understand your child or help them through a difficult time; I offer families the support and nurture to grow stronger together. Too often children can be labeled by behaviors when they are struggling to communicate something valuable. I assist parents in exploring the meaning behind these behaviors by taking time to reflect on the relationships, interactions, and care giving responses to improve the overall quality of the relationship.

Whether triggered from within ourselves or from our environment, we often grapple with questions of identity, intimacy, isolation, change, and mortality. These 'deeper' themes may manifest as problematic behaviors (e.g., addictions, patterns of relating), rigid thought patterns, uncomfortable emotions, and feelings of emptiness. We may come to therapy searching for symptom relief, understanding, connection, and change.

I came into the field of therapy because I have always been curious to how and what makes a relationship (romantic, friendship, or family) healthy and successful. Throughout my professional career I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families. It’s been a joy for me to empower my clients to develop and become more aware of their triggers, needs, and wants. In every client interaction, I learn the things that you need help with and we work together to put your story together in a meaningful way.

As the parent of a struggling child or teen, you may wonder what you can do to help them feel better. I’m here to provide you and your family the support and guidance that will help you gain a deeper understanding of your child, and feel more connected to them. I am passionate and experienced in helping children, teenagers, and their families overcome life's challenges. I have seen many children and teens struggle to express or articulate their emotions. That’s what I am here for. I find playful ways to help children express their inner world while guiding parents to also be curious to what is under their behavior.

My goal as a therapist is to help people get back on track with what is truly important in their lives and let go of the unnecessary struggle that psychological pain can create. I believe that everyone can learn to take a new perspective on pain and suffering in order to prevent it from acting as a barrier to the most important parts of their lives.

Adult life is full of so many responsibilities and accompanying stressors. Difficulties balancing work and home, tensions between commitments to relationships and to personal goals -- any or all of these issue create anxiety and overwhelm. Together we can work on methods to cope.

Does your child struggle to express their feelings in a safe and effective way? As a licensed therapist, I understand that when children act out or become withdrawn, they could actually be asking for help. Often children and even adolescents do not have the skills to manage or share overwhelming emotions. I believe that every client deserves individualized treatment so they can use their unique strengths to generate positive change within themselves and throughout their lives. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for us to work together to address the challenges your child and family are facing.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist that is passionate about my work with children, adolescents, and their families. Often, it is difficult for children to express what they are feeling because they either don't have the language skills or may not know either. This can result in strong emotions that feel overwhelming and even frustrating. I support your child in understanding these feelings and using their unique strengths to better manage them. I will partner with you to understand these feelings, which lead to stronger, deeper relationships.

Thankyou for considering me as you seek a therapist. I hope you find this information helpful. For nearly 20yrs I have worked in some aspect of counseling, and for me, this has clearly been the best work of my life. My clients find relief for their depression, anxieties, stress/tension, adjustment concerns, behavior problems, and substance abuse issues. Witnessing these types of changes is very rewarding.

My goal as a licensed clinical psychologist is to help you reach your optimal level of emotional and interpersonal well-being. A biopsychosocial approach is wholistic and helps you solve problems, cope with what life throws you, and encourages confidence to use lasting and effective self-care skills. Therapy will be an emotionally safe place to explore old and new patterns of behavior, build better coping strategies, and deal with relationships in meaningful ways. I work with children, teens, and adults, because we've all been children and we are all aging.

There are many pathways to a happier and more fulfilling life. Deciding to change, taking the risk to meet a new therapist, isn't easy. In 40 plus years as a psychotherapist, I have found that with work and skilled support, individuals and couples can reach goals, change, improve and develop their solutions to their issues. Although you may feel blocked, our work together will help you find the path to a happier life that is right for you. The most difficult decision is to take the risk and try therapy.

I have been working for over 20 years as a therapist and utilize the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change- this remains the bedrock of my work. As a result, if the client does not feel we are the right fit on the first session I do not charge the client for the initial visit. I feel it is important for my clients to determine if I am the right fit for him/her.

I provide therapy for adults, couples and families. Clients frequently are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief and loss. My clients are often going thru a medical crisis, managing chronic pain or are dealing with a family member's illness. I also help clients who are grieving or who have issues with aging parents and need a plan and to deal with feelings of sadness. I am a registered nurse as well as a clinical social worker and have advanced training in medical family therapy. I am a very good listener and assist my clients in finding their strengths to help them move forward in life.

I see adults for both individual and couple's therapy addressing many common areas of concern, including: stress; anxiety; depression; relationship issues; intimacy & communication; self-esteem & identity issues; work & life satisfaction; meaning & purpose; and general unhappiness. My style is direct and collaborative. I use a flexible approach that is adapted to each individual or couple. My approach is especially effective at getting to the root of issues, sorting through the conflict and confusion, and portraying what the trouble is in a clear new light.

Dr. Brietzke specializes in the neuropsychological evaluation of a wide range of disorders of the brain including head injuries, ADHD, learning difficulties, emotional problems and memory disorders. The neuropsychological testing offered by Dr. Brietzke provides a more specific understanding of brain functioning than psychological, psychiatric or school-based testing does, resulting in more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment. He also integrates the cutting-edge neuroimaging and brainmapping tools with traditional neuropsychological tests. This allows for unprecedented levels of understanding of an individual's underlying brain processes and opens up many new treatment options.

I am a warm, engaging and compassionate therapist who has been practicing for more than 20 years. I provide a calm, safe and thoughtful space for my clients to explore their lives.

I offer goal-oriented, collaborative psychotherapy to individuals who are experiencing distress or unhappiness with parts of their lives. Throughout therapy sessions that are interactive, I will share my thoughts and feelings about the challenges that you face along with strategies for creating change. I help my clients to discover and begin to follow a positive path that they can begin to explore in therapy, and that they can then continue to follow as they pursue their goals and their lives independently. I have experience helping adolescents and adults to develop and live more fulfilling, satisfying lives.
