With years of experience working with individuals and couples, I provide a caring and nonjudgmental environment that allows clients to comfortably work through their goals and problems. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, as well as childhood work where appropriate, I guide clients through their process of self-discovery, healing, goal setting, and making changes. I emphasize encouraging each person to build a solid sense of self and a sustaining self-esteem, especially in these complex and difficult times. The goal is to achieve calm in daily life, more fulfilling interpersonal relationships, and greater job satisfaction. If you have any questions I welcome your phone call.

***ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH A RELATIONSHIP?*** I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people just like you get the relationship of their dreams, whether with their current partner or someone new. ​Wondering if things can get better? ​Always arguing? ​Does your relationship lack passion and intimacy?​ Struggling with communication? ​Wishing you had more fun? Looking for therapy in the comfort of your own home, or anywhere you are? I am a relationship expert who provides online therapy.

I work with adolescents, adults of all ages, and couples. I have seen individuals who feel "something" is missing in their lives and are looking to find their path and passion in life. In both long-term and short-term therapy, we work connecting past issues when relevant to the present to understand why we make the choices we do. We also work to build tools to develop the life one wants to live.

Growing up is never easy. Even with a loving and supportive family, children and teens will encounter varying challenges through out their lives. They may not possess the skills to navigate and understand their emotional lives. With over twelve years of experience working with children, teens, and families, I specialize in helping to identify the purpose and reduction of challenging behaviors, help children to examine their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and practice effective strategies.

Do you need a little more support and structure in your life? I run a variety of high energy groups to help keep you on track, including "I Hate Weekends" (a Sunday support group for people who tend to isolate on the weekends), "You Can't Stop The Waves, But You Can Learn To Surf" (a cognitive therapy group for depression and anxiety), and "Back to Life, Back to Reality" (a life transition group). It's amazing what can happen when people stop being polite and start getting real...

I work with individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues. My areas of speciality include anxiety, depression, relationship issues , women's issues, career issues, and life transitions. Treatment may be brief to address a current problem or long term to work through lifelong patterns and gain insight . My style is holistic including working together and assisting you in finding hope and resolution to your problem.I can help you develop communication skills with your partner or family members , improve self-esteem , cope with losses and strengthen relationships . I provide a non judgemental and supportive environment .

Listening and empathy are critical elements to creating and maintaining a trusting, safe and therapeutic relationship. This is first and foremost how I treat and hold my clients. Within this environment I work with the client to tease out and understand their issues and recognize behaviors and patterns. I assist them in accepting who they are and I collaborate with the client to determine their desires as well as find their own answers. I use a psychodynamic frame, but utilize an eclectic approach to suit the client's comfort level.

As a licensed psychotherapist specializing in sex therapy, my priority is to co-create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where it feels safe and comfortable to explore any relationship and sexual concerns you may have. Together we can explore and identify what sexual health and wellbeing feels like for you. I work with individuals who are single or in relationship and with couples.

Maybe you need a brain organizer, or a reality checker, or a reaction approver, or a crisis stabilizer, or an existential dread container. Maybe you need a partner and witness as you confront difficult experiences or mourn losses. Maybe you feel stuck and don't know why. Or you are struggling with the disruption and distress of anxiety or depression. Or feel ready to dive into personal exploration and growth. Whatever the reason you might be seeking therapy, you deserve to be heard and supported.

If you are currently seeking a psychotherapist you are already headed in the right direction. One of the hardest steps is the first step. Whether you are struggling with self compassion, anxiety, depression, or lack of focus, I can help. If you have a passion or internal drive to be a creative person, I live a creative life and have been in the arts for many years. With that, I understand the challenges that go along with operating in that framework. If creative endeavors are not your focus I can work with that as well. Ultimately we are on a quest to find our purpose and to be fulfilled with our lives.

If you don't like the road you're walking, let's pave a new one together! I work with women, young adults, and teens who are having difficulty maneuvering through life changes to help them achieve the life they envision. Together, we work on issues surrounding anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and outside pressures from society, family, culture, media and more. I approach my clients with a compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental lens. I am relatable and always honest. My clients learn to embrace confidence, be more assertive, manage emotions and relationships, and succeed in academics, career, and intimate relationships.

Throughout our lives we will experience a wide range of emotions and challenges. These experiences often make us feel anxious, unheard, alone, and overwhelmed. I am here to tell you...you are not alone. Together we will tap into your inherent resiliency and resources so that you can take control and create the life and relationships that you want. Through the therapy process, we will not only address your thoughts and feelings, but also the memories, experiences and emotions that are held in your body.

My ideal client is willing to do their emotional work. He does not want to waste his time or money. She is looking to discover her roadblocks and is willing to reach beyond her comfort zone to feel better. He wants to increase his emotional intelligence and hold onto his manhood at the same time. She wants to find find her voice and her power without giving up her femininity. They want want to understand each other while under stress. They want to be as nearly on the same parenting page as possible. They want good sex, good talks, well adjusted children, and a fulfilling life.

Do you find it difficult to understand your child or teenager? Parenting is an overwhelming job and can sometimes leave you feeling powerless. If your child is having challenges in school, or at home, or with his/her friends, I can give you insights and provide a safe space to understand what is going on and how to approach the situation.

Your children are watching you make a mess of your marriage. Sadly, neither of you feel understood or appreciated. You are each defensively protecting your position, yet things can’t keep going like this. It’s a lose/lose battle with the children as collateral damage. You’ve each gotten so good at ignoring & denying your partner’s point of reference, that you’re ready to throw it all away to win a fight. It’s not just your marriage at risk. Your children are now witnessing marriage as a disaster. What impact will this have on their future relationships? What are you role modeling to them?

My typical client struggles with anxiety, low self worth, unsatisfying relationships, and possibly a history of trauma. They may have insight, however, struggle with finding the tools to step into empowerment. We work collaboratively in directly and honestly addressing core issues to achieve concrete, noticeable results.

Many people experience anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. Often they feel there is no one they can trust and no one who can understand them . The impact of this emotional suffering can make daily life painful. It can put strain a on relationships with family, friends, and peers. For over the past 10 years I have been specializing in working with teens and adults, and during this time I have found that there are similar challenges within the different age groups that I have worked with.

No matter how far you are on your journey, it's likely that there will always be something that's not perfect, or the way you want it to be. When we are hurting (and not present), it's difficult to enjoy life, make decisions, or work through transitions, traumas, painful memories, or experiences. My name is Isabelle, and I will support you in practicing mindfulness and taking control, rather than "sinking" into painful life situations or memories. Emotional injuries may lead to difficulties with relationships, self worth, goals, and living to your fullest potential.

So many things have happened: Those chronic terrible arguments with your parents that leave you feeling awful, depleted, disconnected. Feeling like you endlessly date but can’t find the right “person” or feeling like the person you’re with isn’t the right fit but not seeing a way out. Something just doesn't feel right anymore. You know its time to finally work through your past, stand up for yourself in your relationships, and unleash your inner bad-ass self. I’m a therapist who helps people become the hero of their own story.
