"I have had the honor of journeying with people during emotionally challenging times in their lives. My therapeutic style is one that is continually mindful of my clients' individual experiences and strengths while creating a safe environment that promotes emotional growth, insight, and self- understanding. Our emotional distress is often rooted in patterns of our experiences, past and present. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one that helps to cultivate change."

"I believe in building collaborative relationships with my clients. Many of the people who come to see me are insightful and know that certain behaviors or symptoms of depression, stress or anxiety are holding them back. We will work together to both help you develop better coping and self-esteem, as well as developing a better understanding of your issues and problems. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and DBT can help with this. For more information on my background please visit the "credentials" page on my website."

"My style of therapy is best suited towards clients who hope to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship that can be used to better understand and address uncomfortable feelings and problematic relational patterns. By helping clients talk about disappointing and hurtful relationships throughout their lives, I have been amazed to see how well clients can make sense of what once seemed confusing and disorienting, ultimately moving forward with greater clarity and confidance. Additionally, I have a deep respect for the healing process that ensues when people can increasingly express their feelings and thoughts free of fear, discomfort, or inhibition."

"I am licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who has been providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families since 2000. My personal intention for working with you and all of my clients is to approach therapy from a holistic perspective. A holistic perspective looks at the mind, body, and spirit with the goal of bringing these aspects of self into harmony. My primary goal is to help you foster your own inner strength to create the life you want. You may find that the therapy process cultivates more peace in your life or changes the way you want to live."

"Our bodies are not the only parts of ourselves that need a tune up from time to time. The mind is a powerful tool that can benefit from support and encouragement. Whether it's a job change, loss, relational issues, living with physical pain or just day-to-day stress, a supportive ear can mean the difference between just getting through the day and living the life that you long for. I have experience working with many clients especially those with eating disorders, depression and anxiety disorders including OCD. Please email for questions or to set an appointment."

I will collaborate with you to identify creative strategies to better understand yourself and your connections with others. I will listen and offer non-judgmental guidance as you take steps to improve the way you feel. Sometimes words alone aren't enough to express yourself. I will guide you in meaningful, non-intimidating artmaking to help you meet your goals."

"Sometimes life goes awry: dreams don't work out, relationships change, tragedy strikes. Other times, things are going well and we want to continue the progress. Regardless of what's brought you here, therapy can be a great way to help. The foundation of my work is trust; I want to ensure you feel safe and comfortable in therapy. Since 2007, I've practiced in many different environments and helped thousands of patients work toward their goals. I'm cross-trained in several fields and have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and emergent settings with a variety of populations including pediatric, adolescent, and adult."

"I offer coffee, tea, bottled water and talk therapy in a comfortable environment. I offer a place to share your problems, concerns and life issues with a caring therapist who will hold your confidences in a safe space. We can work together in a collaborative environment to resolve personal, professional, emotional, transitional concerns, grief and fears.

""The best predictor of human happiness is the quantity and quality of our relationships", Dr. Christine Carter. During the course of our lives relationships often go awry; at work, at home and with ourselves. I use my skills and 30+ years of experience to support and encourage clients to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. My style is warm, open and informal. I use humor, focus on strengths, employ insight, mindfulness and a variety of other techniques to help clients meet their goals and transform their lives."

"Whether you wish to gain clarity about a life challenge or seek to resolve a deeper change from within, our work together will present an opportunity to rework the patterns that may be disrupting your relationships or preventing you from fulfilling your life goals. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, viewing our therapeutic relationship as central to the change process, while helping you to understand how conflicts from the past affect the way you feel in the present. I approach our work together from a genuine, empathetic stance. It is important that we are partners in your healing process."

"Everyone needs a little help sometimes. You might feel ready for a change, but you're having trouble doing it alone. Worries may be piling up - about your relationships, moods, money, work, the troubles in the world, even your sense of who you really are and what you really want in your life. As my client, we become partners in exploring your true self, and gently dissolving whatever burdens may be blocking your way. Then, you can naturally move toward greater clarity, deeper calm, and a more consistent feeling of aliveness."

"I am a general practitioner whose personal style is warm and interactive. I utilize a psychodynamic approach informed by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) principles. It is my belief that the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client is more important than which particular theoretical model is being used. Psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to transform the pain in our lives. Learning to be more present, create space for discomfort, and mine for greater meaning allows us to take new actions to find joy, calm and purpose. Therapy is highly collaborative, we work together toward your goals."

"I have explored the mind and human behavior through my career and through my personal experiences. Human beings are in a continuous search. That could be for emotional stability, a successful career, academic achievements, healthy social relationships, self-esteem, love, wellness, success, and much more. If you allow me, I will provide the support you need during your personal journey."

"Are you ready to feel better? I believe that seeking assistance is a strength. I provide a safe non-judgmental environment to make positive changes, overcome obstacles, and learn how to change unhelpful thinking patterns, all the while improving self esteem and relationships. My approach is solution focused and client-centered."
