"There is power in seeking the help of others along our journey, and it is my hope that therapy can represent a unique healing environment, focused on your reality and your needs. The change that we all seek lies within our stories being validated and understood. As we witness the power of our stories in light of culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other intersections of identity through therapy, we partner in using your strengths to lessen your limitations. By developing your self-awareness, we can work to heal from past wounds, develop more understanding of your Self and those around you, and create better relationships."

"Therapy is not dependent on one life event or one aspect of a person, but a process in a lifelong journey. Since therapy is unique for everyone, I empower everyone to explain what works for them in therapy and to have a therapeutic relationship tailored to their specific needs and goals. In the safety of therapy, the foundation for healing and growth is built. This process creates meaning out of the past and present, using our strengths and resiliencies to make our now what we want, and seeing a future with hope."

"I have been practicing for over 30 years. My insightful and spiritual approach to psychotherapy is geared toward individuals committed to develop and/or increase self-awareness with the goal of improving their quality of life."

"Sometimes life can become overwhelming due to a variety of reasons. With the right coping skills, change of perspective and more insight, life situations can become more manageable. Not sure how, when and why? Allow therapy to help clear your mind and get some questions answered. You should be heard, not judged when talking about personal, important matters. My approach is solution focused and tension reduction. New to therapy? I will go at your pace and provide you with safe, stress releasing skills to feel better. You will gain a personalized and creative coping skills plan geared towards your healing. "

"As a modern therapist, I provide culturally sensitive, unique, and creative therapy to help individuals and couples. I understand how hard it can be to find a therapist that seems relatable or trustworthy. I work particularly well with individuals in their 20s, 30s, or early 40s looking for a therapist that "gets it". This may be an overwhelming point in your life, but pursuing psychotherapy can be one of the most transformative experiences you can take to heal & grow from your current state. "

"The search for a therapist is never easy and I believe fit and comfort are essential in providing effective therapy. I strive to make coming to therapy a comfortable experience and to provide a safe space. I work with people wanting to reduce their anxiety and depression to build skills, gain insight, and increase self-awareness. I find that life transitions, big or small, can have a resounding effect on a person’s well being. Finding balance and building on personal strengths in order to achieve identified goals becomes important in these moments, as well understanding the importance of self-confidence. I strive to work with clients to find themselves and their individual nature that can help them through whatever they may face. "

"The search for a therapist may be exciting, but also a bit intimidating. I can appreciate how you may be feeling. Don't let this stop you from making life changes. Working as a therapist in many different settings has made me realize that the key to effective therapy is your comfort. When you feel comfortable with your therapist, you gain the ability to make meaningful life changes. I will do my best to create a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment, one in which we will work together to achieve your goals."

"Focusing on issues ranging from anxiety and depression, to relationship issues and phase of life adjustments, I work with clients to set goals surrounding understanding how past events impact current realities. As a primarily Person Centered therapist, I believe that no two people experience any situation alike. It is my job to take the time to get to know my clients and their realities and sit in the mud with them as a support to get to their desired space. Clients are the experts of their own lives and change only happens when individuals have the dedication and motivation to do things differently. "

"I appreciate your willingness to take the time to put yourself first and look for a new therapist. I believe that healing begins with a feeling of safety and comfort. In working with me, you will find a safe, validating space to explore challenging topics and find a more peaceful and manageable life. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and focused on helping you better understand yourself and express your needs in a healthy way. Together we will develop a way of healing so that you can reduce symptoms, meet goals, strengthen supports and overcome everyday stress as well as past trauma."

"Past Life Regression (PLR) is the therapeutic process by which memories from previous lives can be accessed. Relational conflicts, blockages, or emotional and physical symptoms may have their roots in previous lifetimes. These symptoms can be carried to the current life, contributing to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual problems. By accessing and reprocessing these past memories and discover the original source of the problem, you can move forward, heal, and start making positive changes in your current life. Likewise, the insights obtained from these experiences typically provide a spiritual perspective of your life situation and current relationships."

"Are you looking to feel more peace and joy in your life? Would you like to break old patterns, address past hurt, receive needed support in a difficult time, or step into more of what you were created for? Working from a strengths-based perspective I believe a lot of healing can come from discovering the unique strengths, plans, and purposes each of us possesses. Through this lens we can work together to identify areas in need of healing and achieve your unique goals. Whatever you may be going through I believe that there is hope and a way forward."

"I serve clients who look to expand their self-awareness, emotional intelligence and seek to uncover more in-depth aspects of their psyche. I have helped clients struggling with anxiety, depression, acute and chronic trauma, OCD, BPD, Schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders. I also have experience working with immigrants and refugees struggling with acculturation and bicultural issues. I have also been involved in psychological and medical health research, advocacy, and empowerment related to immigrants and refugees. "

"I have a low-pressure, warm approach focused on creating an environment of safety and encouragement. I believe It takes courage to reach out for help and I treat my clients and their concerns with the utmost respect. I believe that human connection is essential to our well being and that connection in the therapeutic relationship is essential to healing. I view therapy as a collaboration where we work together to discover and develop your strengths and resources to let go of old patterns and behaviors that are no longer helpful to you."

"Do you want to create change? Do you want to learn how to make intrapersonal and interpersonal shifts in order to move through your life with more ease? With 25 years of experience, I am a seasoned dance/movement therapist. However, I not only offer body centered approaches but a variety of other creative modalities such as art making, role play, and creative writing to awaken our healthiest parts. I have consistently witnessed the power of incorporating these non-verbal and artistically expressive techniques into the traditional counseling process."

"Do you just want to be happy again? Do you feel stuck or lost? Do you feel like you are behind in life, missing out or just going through the motions? Life with depression or anxiety is not easy; it feels overwhelming, isolating and suffocating. Things weren’t always this way for you, and it can be hard to remember who you used to be before all of this started. No matter what you try it seems like you can’t get back to that person. The things that used to bring you joy no longer do and you just want to feel ‘normal’ again. Life doesn’t have to be this way and reaching out to me can be the first step in creating this change for you."

"I offer an integration of psychotherapy and Yoga Therapy in tandem sessions. I am both a licensed health psychologist and a certified yoga therapist. My clients tend to be high functioning adults seeking private holistic therapy and pain relief. I assist with relationships, stress, back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, physical disabilities and medical conditions. Supported yoga postures, proper alignment, and longer holds facilitate deeper feeling, fuller opening, greater release. Yoga Therapy enhances rehabilitation of injuries naturally using gravity, tensegrity and breath to improve circulation and create more space in tight joints, relieving tension and fatigue, facilitating clarity and insight."

"My practice specializes in helping clients actualize their personal goals. In my approach I attempt to empower clients to modify their thoughts and behaviors in ways that help them meet their particular goals. I also maintain sensitivity to a clients cultural background. I specialize in helping clients with relationship difficulties, anxiety/stress, depression, and impulsivity. I have extensive experience working with children with behavioral challenges and have developed a free app on managing bullying that is available in the apple itunes store (Hero App)."

"I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. I've been there. Many years ago I embarked on my own personal growth journey and I believe that has made me a more compassionate, empathic therapist. . I am very active in the therapeutic process and give direct feedback and suggestions for implementing lifestyle changes. "

"Therapy is the space where identity, the core of human need, and complex emotions intersect. I am here to help you navigate the spaces that appear difficult, ambiguous, and even joyful. Stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and coping with day-to-day challenges and adjustments in your life are my specialties; and if you’d like, we can discuss the impact of your Christian faith in our therapeutic work together."
