We feel most happy when we love, parent and work whole-heartedly. Authentic activity arises from a trust in our essential worthiness as human beings. Commonly, unskillful patterns of thought and behavior, created by past hurts, separate us from that vital sense of worthiness. Habits that once helped us survive now hold us back from self-compassion and connection. We sense there is another way of being, but we can't seem to get there. Whatever your aspiration, change isn't easy. However, when you courageously become intimate with your own suffering, you feel more authentic, alive and awake.

You may feel stuck and ready for a change. You may have used your intelligence, motivation or creativity to succeed in the past, but something isn't working as well right now. You may feel disconnected in your relationships and overwhelmed by your emotions. Maybe you're very hard on yourself or have difficulty making decisions. I can help you learn to trust yourself, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships. Therapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your strengths. Together, we can help you decide what you really want and develop steps to meet your goals.

When work goes wrong, everything suffers. Therapy can help. You know how it is - when you’re at work - whether you're in the corner suite, in a cubicle farm or working from home - and something goes wrong, the fallout can cascade through the rest of your life: your relationships, your habits, how you feel about everything every day. Work problems are life problems (maybe now more than ever). I’m here to help. With over 20 years in the corporate world myself, I’ve done the grunt work and called the shots. Now, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’d like to help you live better with your job.

Looking for clear insights and applied skills to better manage your life’s challenges? I specialize in working with clients facing challenges related to anxiety, stress, anger, sleep, work/life transition issues, and relationship issues. I have extensive training/experience working with topics specific to men/masculinity, veteran/military populations, and individuals working in technology industries. I primarily use first, second, and third wave cognitive behavioral therapy approaches to help clients develop a clear set of practical skills to improve behavioral and thought patterns that are keeping them stuck in unhealthy cycles.

*Currently, I am not accepting new clients.* Is your child intense? Is your child highly emotional, willful, and gifted? Do you need some new ideas to connect with your child? Within each of us lies greatness: within your child, within you as a person, and as a parent. I can help you and your child access that greatness and nurture it. I work well with intense children who are struggling with behavioral and attention issues. I provide a safe and caring environment, often taking the therapy session outdoors for experiential activities.

***Sessions are phone or video only and private pay***There are times in our lives when we feel like things aren't working, but we're not sure what to do. You may feel like you've done everything you know to do, but nothing is changing. This is the time when therapy can be a great alternative to your current patterns of reacting to the world. I will listen to you and help guide you to places of understanding that you may not be able to get to on your own. I will also help you with foundational behaviors that can hold you back from your potential (e.g., sleep, nutrition, exercise, water intake).

I aim at supporting individuals and couples who want to learn about themselves, build healthier relationships, be more emotionally present, and cope more successfully. I believe that through self- exploration and learning about our relationships, we promote growth, peace, and healing in our lives, thus building more fulfilling connections with others. I aim to help you find ways to improve your life and your relationships. If you are dealing with issues related to family conflict, relationships, GLBTQ issues, spirituality, or anxiety; I believe I would be a good fit for you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of clinical experience in mental health. Making the decision to look for a therapist is a courageous one and can come from a myriad of reasons. You may be feeling stuck, lost in the chaos of life, adjusting to a life transition or struggling with anxiety. Perhaps you’re experiencing difficulties in relationships, struggling to find connections or meaning in your life. Or maybe you just feel like you need help exploring yourself and your history to come to a more defined sense of self.

Whether you've been in therapy before or are contemplating it for the first time, I'm glad you're here. No one is immune to struggle and we’re not meant to weather hard times alone. I view therapy as a positive and proactive part of routine healthcare. In session, you will find a relaxed, non-judgmental space to talk about what’s on your mind. We will work together to unpack what's causing distress and evaluate effective strategies to move forward. Clients find my feedback to be honest, sincere and compassionate.

Sometimes we all need extra support or a safe place to turn when life seems overwhelming or confusing. Therapy can offer that support and provide a place to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else. Whether you are struggling with life changes, feelings of sadness and anxiety, a sense of "stuckness", or ready to heal past traumas, therapy can and does provide relief and a new way of living.

Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone, life is really hard right now, and you are SO deserving of care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Past hurt and trauma can profoundly impact the present. I love helping individuals that tend to struggle with boundaries, anxiety, shame, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. That are exploring their identity, needs, emotions, and relationships. I would be honored to create a supportive, safe space for you to process, heal, reconnect to yourself, and build healthy coping skills.

I look forward to working with folks who want change, but might not know where to start. Sometimes we want to change ourselves, our situations, or just how we feel. Helping people figure out what they want, what they value, and how to pursue that is what I enjoy. Change is hard, and it helps a lot to have an impartial guide, teacher and confidant who can provide encouragement, perspective, insight, validation and feedback.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to engage in a supportive, collaborative, and dynamic partnership. Therapy is a creative process of self-exploration, self-discovery and self-understanding. With my client's goals and needs always leading the work, I draw from my expertise in psychodynamic models of "talk therapy," dance/movement therapy, EMDR Therapy, and experiential mindfulness practices, to help my clients become unstuck and embody health, growth, and change.

*Not accepting new clients.* I believe that each and every one of us could benefit from having someone in our life that truly sees us - someone that provides space for all of our parts, listens to the messages that are unspoken, and does so with compassion and respect. If you are struggling with your classes, with work, with relationships, or with life in general, I believe that I can help.

At the core of my counseling approach is a belief that we have the intuitive knowledge and capacity for self-healing. Various life experiences, messages that we hear from others about who we are and the world around us, and stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves can block this intuitive knowledge and cultivate doubt about our capacity to change the self and the systems of which we are part. I approach counseling as a safe space for locating in the mind, body, and spirit the sources of hurt, doubt, grief, and fear that are blocking your ability to experience healing, confidence, acceptance, and freedom.

With 24 years of experience in Art Psychotherapy, I offer many tools to clients that are useful long after therapy has ended. My approach is eclectic and relational, meeting you where you are in life, and helping you develop a path to achieve your goals. Learn how to tap into your intuition, combining cutting edge CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model) and art making as your guide, and witness the changes you seek. Change your world and the world changes with you! Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Hey there! First, I want to say I recognize your courage in taking the first step to seek guidance, to no longer feel stuck, lost, or lonely. I enjoy working with clients from all diverse backgrounds. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, career, relationships, or adjusting to life transitions, I will help you process your experiences and achieve your goals. I also enjoy helping First and Second-Generation Immigrants lead authentic and happy lives. Whether you are struggling with cultural identity, managing family expectations, relationships, career, or dealing with life changes, I am here for you.

Counseling is a hero's journey. It begins with your desire for a better life. It is this inherent calling inside you that is a first positive indicator from the beginning! I practice from an eclectic orientation based on years of doctoral-level experience which includes: doctoral educator, psychology research scientist, writer, and innovator. During COVID-19 I have elevated my online counseling potentials for clients and have also written on the subject of making the "psychological shift during COVID-19." Let me help you through these challenging times. Feel free to visit my site at inspirethought.org

As Rumi, the ancient Sufi mystic said, "Only from the heart can you touch the sky." Hello and welcome! I am so glad you have made the choice to explore the options of what it takes to live a life of freedom for yourself! Embarking on the journey towards healing takes courage! I congratulate you! The healing has already begun!

Needing support right now is not only normal — it's absolutely necessary. Humans are born with a social brain that is hardwired for connection, and we need this more than ever. I help individuals and couples experience more connection, clarity, satisfaction, meaning, and fun in the relationships they have with themselves, and with each other. People who work with me often say that they feel "lighter," and more confident, understood, and at ease in their lives.
