"We all need support to get through difficult times in our lives. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, or trauma, therapy can provide the tools for healing and transformation. Whether you are looking for a sounding board when facing tough decisions about family or relationships, or you recognize a need for change in your life, the therapeutic process can support you. Therapy should move at your pace, with a focus identified by you. In a non- judgmental and supportive atmosphere, we will work together to access your strengths and supports to find the most effective ways to cope."

"I facilitate client's healing and growth by creating a real partnership and a safe environment as well as by being authentic, supportive, compassionate and empathic within a nonjudgmental atmosphere. I feel honored to do this work and privileged to help individuals on their journey."

"I believe each of us can lead lives of authenticity, balance, and purpose through mindfulness and self-reflection. I aim to create a warm, peaceful space for healing and awakening, a place where you can slow down your breath, calm the chattering of your mind, and get in touch with a deeper, more divine part of yourself. Life can be scary at times. We all need someone we can count on: to listen, to try to understand, and to hold our hand as we travel rocky terrain. I will take that voyage with you when you are ready."

"If you are feeling unhappy or stuck, struggling with relationships, work, and not getting what you want in life, our therapy sessions can help you move forward. I will help you listen to yourself better, understand what's getting in your way, and feel more confident in being yourself. For couples, I help you to slow down, to learn to listen to each other, to identify your own needs, and to communicate them to your partner. I help couples build empathy for each other, which can turn conflict into an opportunity for closeness and deeper understanding."

"Many people turn to therapy when they don't know where else to turn. You might be feeling pain or feelings that are confusing or overwhelming to you; you may be acting (or thinking) in ways that you would rather not act (or think). I see therapy as a unique opportunity to engage in a collaborative relationship--focusing on your needs--that helps you go where you want to go in your life, or heal what needs to be healed. Together, we will work to create the safe environment that you need to do your work."

"Tired of not living fully. Get therapy now! Learn tools to be more engaged and present with your life and the people in it. One such tool is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of directing your attention away from habitual thoughts(lists, judgements, negative self talk)and toward experiencing the present(where your life is actually being lived). I believe in the power of this work. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships and addictions can be products of molding to others' ideas of who you "should" be. I will work with you to uncover who you want to be."

"In my practice, I offer support and guidance with responsiveness, empathy, creativity, and psychological insight to children/teens, adults, families, and couples as you face life's difficulties and transitions.

"In every psychotherapy session there is a place where the client and therapist meet and come alive in the present moment. This is the place that I work from. I achieve this through active dialogue, attentive listening and creative exchange. I think it is essential to offer a space where you can feel safe to be honest about what is happening in your life.Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or struggling with a life transition, it is the relationship between you and me that leads to insight and healing."

""The more aspects of myself I am given the freedom to know and live without reacting to as right or wrong, good or bad, the more I can witness all the elements of who I am and the healthier I am" ---Diane Shainberg.

"My ideal client is someone who wants solutions to current life issues, but also to explore and let go of limiting beliefs and patterns. Many of them deal with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and blocked creativity. Uncovering and releasing unresolved emotions opens up space for lasting change. My Mind/Body approach integrates relational talk therapy, somatics, and expressive arts. Through these processes of self-discovery and healing, clients may feel more empowered and connected with their innate vitality and creativity."

"Do you feel unfulfilled by your relationships? Do you wish you were able to get along better with friends and family? Therapy can help. I practice a relational and experiential therapy that can improve your understanding and skill set to improve your social world. These skills can apply to clarifying and getting what you need in romantic and platonic relationships. Sometimes there is important healing that is needed due to past relational traumas and disappointments, and these setbacks interfere with our ability to accurately understand others and ourselves. "
