"My approach to therapy is, first and foremost, about the relationship between the therapist and client. Acceptance, compassion, and respect are the building blocks of a therapeutic relationship. I believe in developing a trusting, accepting, and empathetic relationship, focusing on the strengths of the client. My master's education was completed at the University of Denver which ranks in the top 20 schools in the nation for social work schools. Their clinical social work program is ranked in the top 7 percent of all accredited social work programs in the nation and has prepared me to provide the best care to meet client needs."

"Many people who have experienced heartbreak, betrayal, abuse and loss have difficulty living fully in the present. Some feel there is a wall between them and the world, leaving them as outsiders: disconnected with no sense of worth and belonging. Some seek comfort in sex, food, drugs/alcohol, self-harm, and other behaviors that mostly cause more pain. Some become depressed and withdrawn, unable to care for themselves or those they love. Asking for help in times like these takes tremendous courage. Reaching out to the right person can be a powerful step on toward healing."

"I am passionate about my work with individuals, couples and adolescents. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and direct. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that, through self reflection and self examination, one can grow and heal. I am firm believer in the mind-body connection and my ultimate goal is to help clients find their most healthy self."

I have helped clients with issues ranging from the treatment and maintenance of severe mental illness, to working with clients who simply wish to improve their daily lives. My therapeutic style can assist individuals during difficult life transitions, assessing the areas in their lives that need re-adjustment, help couples regain their intimacy and compassion for one another, help parents with children who are having behavior issues, address pre/postnatal issues including postpartum depression and anxieties, and much more."

"When you're in the midst of a life struggle, it can feel as though solutions are hard to come by. The benefit of counseling, is the opportunity to look at the world through a new lense. Tomorrow seems infinitely shinier with the help of a little unconditional kindness. In my years as a counselor, I have found a passion for treating depression. When a client comes to me with the willingness to engage in treatment, I have seen true miracles unfold."

I specialize in creating balance for the mind, body and spirit by offering a safe, accepting, and open space for you to experience your healing process. I am honored to be with you as you have the courage to make positive changes in your life. Don't know where to begin, that's okay, together we will start your self-discovery today! It's time for you to reclaim your value and worth!"

"Acceptance and Change. These two things seem like complete opposites don't they? Carl Rogers believes "When I accept myself, then I can change". We spend a lot of time hearing and believing that we, they, it needs to change to be "better" or "different". This creates a sense of loss, poor self esteem, depression, anxiety, and conflict within ourselves and with those we love. I believe when we accept others, family, loss etc, then change can happen within that as well. Therapy IS about change; learning new skills, stopping habits, doing life differently."

"Are you struggling with PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, addiction, or depression? These disorders could have underlying roots in trauma or intense stress. Trauma comes in many forms; abuse, accidents, surgery, neglect, war, etc. Each of these events uniquely impacts the nervous system. Recovery from these experiences could be key to resolving or managing symptoms. My goal is to help empower you to experience healing. We can't change situations of the past, but we can, together, become unstuck from the automatic responses of the body/mind. Somatic Experiencing (SE) may equip you to a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

"With over a decade of experience, every one of my clients can be sure that I give them my full attention and focus to helping them with effective therapeutic tools. From the very first session, you can be confident that you will be emotionally supported in our endeavor to design real solutions."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am excited to learn more about you so we can begin the healing and helping process. You are the expert on your life and I am honored to be a part of your journey. My office is a judgement free zone and I will try my best to show you understanding, compassion, warmth and respect. I want to help you with your goals whatever they may be! "

"Imagine sitting by the edge of a river, alone and at peace, surrounded by water and trees, with the mountains in the distance. You are so calm and present that when something triggers an unhappy memory, you can still notice the negative thoughts and feelings that go with the memory, but they don't overwhelm you. You see the unpleasant thoughts and feelings grow smaller as they float away down the river, and you are still here, peaceful and calm and present in your body. My goal is to help you find that kind of peace."

"As a clinical hypnotherapist and licensed clinician, I like to work with individuals who seek to explore and understand the deeper aspects of the self. My goal is to work with you to explore the subconscious, patterns of behavior, belief systems, relationships and the underlying reasons for current behaviors and emotions, but also in helping you develop an acceptance of the self."

"I am an LPC and an RN. My treatment approach focuses on the body. The school of thought I practice from believes that when first faced with an overwhelming event, if unresolved, our body can hold onto the sensations of that initial reaction. A similar threat can recreate those physical sensations. Your body will then influence your emotions and beliefs as if you were back in that original moment. It's those times when your mind is telling you one thing, but your body is telling you something very different; I feel nervous but I don't know why. Somatic techniques can help link these making room for new insights and resolve."

"My goal is to help my clients not just survive but to thrive. I assist my clients in connecting to their deeper selves in order to discover their individual goals, talents, and desires. I'm most effective working with adults who are managing a life transition, addressing a relationship conflict, processing trauma or changing unwanted behavioral/thought patterns. Common diagnoses that I treat are: depression, anxiety, ptsd, and mood disorders."

"For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to work with teenagers. Since obtaining my Masters of Social Work at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987, I have worked with teens in multiple settings. I have discovered that counseling can help teenagers with the most important tasks of adolescence. I work collaboratively with parents towards the primary goal of seeing their teenager launch successfully into adulthood. I am direct and honest and emphasize accountability and personal responsibility. I have found that teenagers appreciate that approach."

"My goal is to give you the support you need to make the changes you want. You might want to mend or heal from a relationship, revise old coping skills or self-sabotaging patterns, or get support during a major life transition. At the heart of our work is a sense of returning yourself to yourself. I specialize in treating trauma, (PTSD), anxiety, depression and attachment disturbances. As a Certified EMDR clinician, I help clients process unresolved traumatic memories effectively and efficiently. EMDR is a powerful tool that accelerates healing, removes negative associations and creates space for reintegration and relearning. "
