"I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from marital discord, mood / eating disorders, divorce, grief, relational / adjustment issues and more. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for. I work collaboratively with clients with an emphasis on understanding yourself, improving your relationships, developing effective coping strategies, changing negative patterns and taking action. I stress the importance of making behavioral changes as insight alone does not promote change. I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families."

"Whether you are experiencing painful relationships, stress, crisis, life changes or just want more out of life, counseling can help. I believe in a holistic approach that is centered around where you want to begin. I have been working in social work since 1993 and am skilled in various methods so that counseling can be interactive, engaging, and reflective. We are all differently-abled and have our own challenges in life. I'm here to join you in making a plan for success. I provide a supportive therapeutic relationship and skillful psychotherapy. "

"We all need help occasionally. Learning how to approach and overcome these challenges shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. Therapy allows us to look at where we may be blocked and helps us find our own answers to living an authentic life. I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life."

"**Now accepting new clients** Everything about our lives is centered in relationship; knowing how to effectively initiate and maintain supportive, enjoyable and mutually satisfying relationships will serve us throughout our lives. But this doesn't happen without many ups and downs, some of which benefit from including a supportive, objective and helpful therapist. If you are wishing to improve your thinking, your skill in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, living in past experiences or fearing the future, I would be honored to help."

"Are you feeling stuck or out of control? Do you keep doing things that you know aren't good for you? Have you been feeling anxious for no reason? Are your fears stopping you from doing what you need or want to do? If you try to make changes using only your conscious mind (logic and willpower), your subconscious mind may resist or sabotage your best intentions. By getting your subconscious (which controls about 95% of your behavior) in line with what you want consciously, hypnotherapy utilizes the tremendous power of the subconscious to make change quick and easy."

"I came to Humboldt County in 2001, after completing my psychology degree in Europe and my master's degree in psychotherapy in Syracuse, New York. I have practiced psychotherapy for the last 27 years, and I am familiar with a wide range of issues, situations and diagnosis. Although, I enjoy specific theoretical and practical approaches and models of therapy like CBT, SFBT for treating anxiety, trauma impact and depression symptoms, I clinically focus on what I believe suits best the individual and the situation. I view life as a journey towards betterment of the person and reach for happiness."

"I treat clients of all ages, from infancy to geriatrics, across the board of the human life span. My passion is to help those suffering from trauma, from depression, from PTSD and from anxiety, as well as a range of other mental, emotional and behavioral issues. I believe individuals are experts in their lived experiences. It is my privilege to learn from them and to imagine that the situation puts out a teaching thought."

"One of the most satisfying joys of being a therapist is witnessing clients moving away from their suffering and stuckness, and closer to a more satisfying, fulfilled, healthy and whole way of living. I believe that you hold the answers to your questions, have the ability to connect with your own wisdom, healing and bliss, and are the ultimate expert in your therapeutic journey. I am simply the guide and witness of the process. I help individuals, children and their families to understand and heal from the hurt or trauma that we experience on this journey of life."

"It takes courage to ask for help. I honor you in your pursuit of healing and wholeness. Experience and data show that a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to success in therapy. I endeavor to provide a safe container into which each individual human being who comes for therapy is welcomed. Being met with empathy, respect, acceptance, kindness, understanding, genuineness and non-judgement opens a space where each person can explore their issues without feeling the need to censor or conform. Having another person inalienably aligned with your own deepest Self empowers your unique route to healing and so transformation."

"I have been working with people for 30 years and look forward to helping clients create healthy relationships with me, themselves and with those in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals from all racial and cultural backgrounds who are motivated to make changes in their lives; to reduce painful reactions; and increase their understanding of what makes them feel happy, strong and self assured. I encourage clients to do homework assignments in between therapy sessions, in an effort to help clients take ownership of their process, and learn coping skills that will last beyond treatment."

"We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you."
