"George Eliot said "the strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice." This could not be more true. We make choices every day: get up or snooze, jeans or dress pants, say "hello" or "good morning," one more episode or go to bed, and the list goes on. However, certain choices have a greater impact on our lives than others. At the top of the list is self-care. This can be extremely difficult at times. Sometimes it feels like life has thrown everything (and the kitchen sink at us), and it's too much to sort through on our own. My goal is to help you and your loved ones get back on your feet...and stay there."

"Whether you are struggling with feelings of stress, anger, sadness, confusion, or frustration, or searching for peace, you are not meant to do it alone. My goal is to help you live a more fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful life by reconnecting you to your most desirable self. I provide a caring, non-judgmental, and collaborative space to explore your feelings and concerns. With passion, creativity, and a blend of theoretical orientations, I create a unique plan for clients to most effectively address a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, and to develop more adaptive skills related to coping and communication."

"It can be all too easy to get stuck in self defeating patterns that leave you frustrated and alone, without clear answers available. Initiating a collaborative process with a dedicated therapist can help you uncover hidden conflicts and motivations, as well as your deepest hopes and capabilities to create the life you desire. As the process of therapy unfolds you may find yourself thinking of past problems in new ways, challenging old beliefs, and feeling invigorated by the momentum of unlocking your truest self. "

"It is my greatest privilege to join someone on their journey; to help them find their way around the boulders, over the stumbling blocks and out of the crevasses that have derailed goals, clouded views or kept them from happiness. To see them make the changes they have dreamed of. Together we can examine patterns, identify sources of hope, build on strengths, challenge fears and create road maps which you can use to take those next powerful, healing steps. I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and relational issues."

"Therapy is a way to get in touch with parts of yourself that are disconnected. DW Winnicott described disconnection in terms of a true and false self. As we grow up we learn to adapt to our environment and our caregivers to maintain a relationship. We may keep our thoughts and emotions to ourselves, because to express them might mean abandonment. Eventually you reach a point when this is not working so well in your life. Patterns of relating have developed over time. Therapy offers an opportunity to find new and improved ways of relating to yourself and others."

"I work with adult individuals, adolescents, couples and families to help them cope with not only life's daily struggles, but also on issues around grief and loss, crisis, traumas, challenging life transitions and relationship issues. I use talk and narrative therapy as well as mindfulness based practices to help clients decrease anxiety and depression, manage stress, cope with challenges and enhance their creativity and productivity. My approach is very conversational, interactive and pro-active. In contrast to heavy analysis, I strive to uncover and cultivate my client's strengths, abilities and values to help them overcome their problems."

"If you are looking to connect with an empathic and dedicated professional to address changes in mood and debilitating life challenges, I welcome you to reach out and we can explore if we are a good match. I join with patients to gain a well-rounded understanding of problems to be addressed in treatment and offer a balanced perspective of the need for acceptance and change. We can begin wherever you are now and together find relief from suffering and build toward a life worth living. Call today for a free initial phone consultation!"

"Is your life everything that you want it to be? Do you experience peace, joy and love on a daily basis? Is there a sense that there must be something more to life? Do you find yourself frustrated by the choices you make and the things that you do? Do you find yourself frustrated by other people in your life, your work, your family, your relationships?There are many things that can get in the way of living the life you want to live. Are you living in the past and feeling depressed? Are you living in the future and feeling anxious? "

"My areas of expertise and passion are anxiety, family therapy and self/spiritual growth. With 15 years of experience with OCD, I can help you or your child using an empirically supported combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and family and mindfulness techniques when appropriate. I treat other anxiety disorders such as GAD, social anxiety and panic and can help you find a healthier relationship with your fears. In my work with families, I empower the parent-child relationships while addressing issues such as anxiety, emotional dysregulation, defiance and acting out behaviors."

"I believe that we all face friction in our relationships and day-to-day living. Consistently encountering the same types of issues, however, can be the result of blind spots that blur our view of reality. Psychotherapy exists, in part, to help identify these areas of hazy perception and to resolve them over time. And with improved clarity come choices that are more plentiful, more attainable, and more likely to result in an improved appreciation of everything around us -including ourselves. This process can only happen in a safe, non-threatening environment."

"I specialize in psychotherapy to treat grief and loss, issues surrounding terminal or chronic medical issues, and depression. Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health - such as being diagnosed with a life altering condition - or a breakup, to name a few. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result. It is easy to fall into depression or develop anxiety if our coping is not managed and nurtured appropriately. Visit my website: www.talkitouttherapy.com "

"I specialize in the neuropsychological evaluation and treatment of disorders that interfere with one's thinking such as ADHD, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's disease. I also treat clients experiencing other challenges including depression, anxiety, and difficulty coping with the stress of everyday life. My expertise in both psychology and neuropsychology enables me to provide clients with an individualized approach combining effective techniques including evidence-based neuropsychological assessment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and memory training/cognitive rehabilitation. My ultimate goal is to teach the skills needed for you to function at your highest level."

"A warm welcome to KM Holistic Psychotherapy! I start by creating a safe space to guide you on a journey of self-discovery. I treasure that our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships are fastened together and are affected by one another in a close manner. I'll address each of those personal facets with you to help you emerge holistically with a therapeutic style that is drawn from various approaches such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Jung Analysis, Gestalt Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP.)"

"If the old coping strategies have stopped working, or worse, are becoming self destructive, reaching out for help can be both a scary but ultimately liberating first step toward growth and healing. My communication style is direct, but equally warm, empathic, and relatable always working toward creating a setting where you can feel comfortable and safe to be vulnerable and honest. I sincerely know how debilitating addiction, anxiety, depression, losses, and life's unexpected events can be. I work with individuals and families, and am on staff/consult with nearby mental health and substance treatment facilities."

"I am experienced at promoting the well-being of children, adolescents and adults suffering from a wide range of troubles including depression, anxiety, anger management problems, interpersonal relationship difficulties, self-harming behavior, trauma and grief. I have experience working with diverse populations in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health clinics, outpatient centers and in private practice.  "

"Are you ready to make changes? Would you like to work on understanding yourself better?

You'll come away with a an understanding of what you might need to move forward from what might be holding you back. We will work together to learn skills and develop tools that will help you manage your life in a more adaptive and productive manner. Through a caring, compassionate, and holistic approach, you will find your way to being content and living a more meaningful and healthy life."

"During my first psychology class in high school I learned that there are actually words to describe my experience-the sometimes conflicting experiences of living between two different worlds. I became passionate about finding a way to address the experience of people whose hurts and wounds are often invisible-fractured hearts and minds vs physical challenges. I was saddened by my observation that too many people feel stigmatized and alone with their inner turmoil and wanted to find a way to make the heart, mind and body whole. My dream is that therapy becomes accessible to everyone and viewed merely as another source of support."

"I have found that most people possess the necessary tools to improve their quality of life and simply need someone else to highlight them. I have a warm, direct style and utilize humor, when appropriate, to explore challenges and collaborate on ways to live one’s most fulfilled life. I use an experiential and intuitive approach to help clients develop the best possible relationships with themselves and others. "

"Welcome! Therapy should be practical and approachable. As a relationship specialist, my collaborative focus is on the "why" of where you are. Once we understand why, we navigate the hurdles getting in your way with healthy coping and new tools that are effective. You will not be alone in this; I will be working alongside you, and the awareness we gain will allow us to manage stress and overwhelming feelings better. This opens up space for new options; healthier, more satisfying relationships that you enjoy (including the one with yourself and your mind)! At the core of my practice is an authentic, warm and compassionate presence. "
