"Don't be afraid. Fear and shame rule much of our lives, but therapy can help. I don't do cookie cutter therapy, I believe in providing individual, nonjudgmental, and creative treatment. My patients are many of the bravest people I know, and they deserve that type of personalization. If you want to know more about me you can listen to my podcast, check out my website, or visit my YouTube channel for coping skills and other videos.

"Therapy is: Creating desired changes which improve our lives. My goal is to help identify the obstacles which are impeding your happiness and assist you in making changes that will bring a greater level of joy and fulfillment to your life. People enjoy my warm, easy going, supportive nature as they work through life's struggles. Clients progress as they overcome fears, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, addictions, relationship problems, old/new emotional wounds. Success in treatment comes as the barriers to my client's "desired life" fall, one by one, and they become independently prepared for new functioning in life."

"I specialize in working with clients who struggle with addictions, anger, anxiety, bipolar, depression, emotional abuse, identity issues, personality disorders, physical abuse, postpartum depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, self-harm, sexual abuse, sexual orientation, substance abuse, suicide prevention and trauma.

I am passionate about connecting the mind, body, and soul to allow for healing and growth on all levels. Using a wide array of tools to empower my clients, we work together to discover what makes them unique and wonderful while healing and overcoming barriers to greater joy and satisfaction in life."

"I believe that when an individual starts talking about what is hurting them, healing can start. I have been helping people for 20 years and want to help you, your children and your family cope with life's issues. I have worked with children, adults, families and couples with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, fear and anger. When people feel guilt and shame they can make decisions based on those feelings. Acceptance of yourself is one of the keys to healing those things that hurt.I enjoy helping people learn to love themselves and learn skills to help with life's uncertain issues."

"Through years of clinical practice, professional training & personal experience, my greatest strength is my belief that people can overcome life's greatest challenges and create new opportunities. Clients enjoy my optimistic, warm, yet direct approach to immediately solving problems. My ability to help identify and understand core issues leads to permanent change. I love what I do and feel it a privilege to help people find the freedom, healing, and passion their hearts yearn for. Please call me for a free initial consultation and we can discuss options. I look forward to hearing from you."

"At times we all feel as if we are pulled in many directions and in a sense our minds, arms (body), legs (emotions) do not connect with one another. This could happen going through difficult experiences. Re-building or re-connecting with our selves, with your partner, or with family can be difficult without the right instructions. It can require a trusting, experienced builder (therapist). As a therapist I see you as a whole through mind, body, and spirituality re-connection that can make you whole again by putting the pieces back together. My main goal and outreach as a therapist is to help others in this process. "

"I like clients that are unique, meaning I enjoy people's differences. I tend to create the treatment plan around the client and their needs rather than a cookie cutter type of treatment plan. I work with a wide range of clients from children and adolescents to couples therapy."

"I believe people are capable of overcoming the challenges they face in life when they have support from a therapist who draws from their core values and strengths. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, and self-harm/suicidal ideation. I am passionate about treating individuals who are working to overcome eating disorders. There is an enormous amount of pressure in society to be perfect, this greatly intensifies symptoms that can be improved with support. Empowering others and watching the process of awareness and recovery has been a rewarding and humbling experience."

"I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and adjustment to life changes. I also specialize in self-esteem enhancement. As a mental health provider, I hold a firm belief in human capability and resiliency. As a therapist, I focus on helping clients utilize their potential. I have 7 years of experience, as a mental health clinician. I provide therapy for children, teens and adults, who struggle with a variety circumstances."

"Over the last 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with great people in helping them achieve their potential. I focus especially on creating healthy relationships within the family environment, and teaching children positive self esteem and respect for themselves and others. I apply positive psychology and strength-based training to increase the abilities and desires of youth to succeed and improve performance at home and at school. I have tremendous respect for the notion that no one is great at everything, but through hard work everyone can be great at something."

"People that I have worked with have experienced a lot of success. I believe this happens because they are willing to trust me and create a therapeutic relationship where we are able to explore their personal circumstances. My approach is to delve into underlying issues that are creating problems in their life. I strive to help my clients come away with a sense of harmony so that they can have more peace in their life."

"I work with adolescents and adults surrounding depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. I can address family, marriage, and relationship issues. I specialize in LGTBQ issues, particularly as they relate to religion and spirituality."

"Children do not behave in a vacuum. Therefore it is important to address all areas of a child's life in order to effectively change behavior. In addition to individual counseling, I also actively involve parents and/other caregivers in the child's treatment. Schools also play an important role in a child's behavioral success. As a team, the child, parents, school professionals and myself can determine the best behavioral and educational options to ensure a continuity of treatment across settings. I can also reach out to community resources that are important in your child's life to coordinate pastoral care or psychoeducation."

"There are many situations in life that provide trials and discomfort. Therapy is a neutral place to learn skills to navigate trials and face them with a mindset of personal growth. Every problem presents an opportunity for growth and resiliency. I believe in finding success by starting small and setting goals. There is a process in recognizing that your success is not always going to look like someone else's success."

"Therapy is about your journey. It is a place for you to be yourself and to discover skills that may assist you in getting to where you want to be. I seek to give people a comfortable place to maneuver life's struggles. Given our unique responses and experiences in life, I adapt my therapeutic methods to meet your needs. At my core I am a client-centered therapist drawing from attachment, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and mindfulness-based approaches. I am a creative therapist, using a variety of interventions.This includes but is not limited to sand tray, play therapy, art, and other tools."

"Life is beautiful and we are capable of exploring all aspects of it: the good and the difficult. Both things are necessary to become a strong and better "us"! Though there is so much good, life also comes with unanticipated 'rocks in our backpack'. This can leave us confused, hurt, and feeling displaced. Effective therapy is about several factors: experience, expertise, a clear diagnosis, concise and appropriate goals, and the tools needed to effectively navigate difficulty along the journey of life."

"Beyond my professional training and experience, perhaps my greatest strength is my unwavering belief in people and their ability to improve upon their circumstances and overcome the most difficult challenges we face in life. I work with amazing people and love what I do."

"Courage is a defining characteristic of all those that are willing to come to counseling to address their challenges. Those challenges can be particularly difficult to sort through. I see myself as a fellow traveler who you allow to be a part of your journey. Together we try exploring the best solutions to navigate your problems. Clients usually appreciate my fun and supportive nature as we work together to achieve your goals. "

"Valuing each client as an individual with specific needs is the focus of my therapeutic approach. Empathy, understanding and discovering one's unique strengths are at the core of every session as I join clients on their journey to find healing. I provide a warm and welcoming environment for therapy in which one can discover opportunities for growth in a comfortable and safe space. "
