"As a counselor, my mission is to help individuals find the strength and resources within themselves to improve their emotional well-being, enhance their ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, and regain control of their lives. My approach is solution-focused and proactive. Working collaboratively, we will seek to gain insight and confront obstacles to change and develop skills, which will lead to confident decision making and lasting change. I utilize techniques adapted from solution-focused, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theory, and stay flexible to incorporate cutting edge research to tailor my approach to your unique needs."

"If you suffer from anxiety, you should consider seeing a specialist - someone who focuses on anxiety exclusively and who can provide a comprehensive approach to your treatment. This is important for two reasons. First, one-size-fits-all approaches to therapy attempt to be as inclusive as possible and inevitably end up dumbing things down and glossing over much of the relevant complexity. Anxieties are at least as complex as those who have them."

"I work with people who want to know themselves better in order to improve their lives. You may need support during a difficult time, or you may want to resolve longstanding, unhappy relationship conflicts. You may struggle with trauma or anxiety, or have difficulty being intimate. No matter what brings you in, our first step is to understand your needs and goals, and to develop the right approach together. Psychotherapy remains the treatment of choice for enhancing self-esteem, improving relationships, and becoming more flexible and resilient in response to stress."

"I am an existentially oriented psychotherapist in private practice working with individual adults. I am accepting and non-judgmental. I am also clear sighted and analytical. I can help you uncover meaning underlying both your positive and negative experiences so both can be leveraged to allow you to pursue the life you want for yourself. My approach is focused on creating a comfortable working relationship in which clients can freely disclose. Ideally, therapy is a dialogue. You need to be an active participant. My own experience outside the field of psychotherapy is diverse."

"Currently accepting new clients: I work with individuals to address issues that are impacting life satisfaction, decisions, career, and relationships. You may find yourself experiencing anything from a vague sense of un-ease about your life to an intensely felt anxiety, worry or depression. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles that serve to increase awareness and build new understandings so that change may be experienced within a supportive therapeutic relationship."

"My goal is to work in collaboration with you in therapy so that you can achieve your goals and work through any challenge that you may be facing. I strive to provide a safe and empathic environment where you can receive support, reflection, feedback, and empowerment, as well as be challenged with regard to both current and long-standing behavior patterns and difficulties. While this process can often be daunting, it can also be extremely vitalizing. My hope is that therapy will help you feel more self-confident, hopeful, and self-aware."

"Are you a young person seeking support and a safe space to talk about issues around being part of the LGBTQ community? Have you been questioning your sexuality, or your gender expression? Welcome.

I am passionate about helping you find hope for your future, and compassion for yourself. I also provide family therapy when you feel like you might want to have your supports understand your experience in a more meaningful way."

Whether you were subjected to emotional, spiritual/religious, cult, physical, verbal, sexual, and/or some combination of abuse, I am equipped to help you cope with and ultimately alleviate the symptoms and intense emotions left over from trauma and abuse."

"I provide support to young adults who are struggling to keep up with the many demands of adulthood. Managing relationships, employment, school and daily life tasks can feel completely overwhelming. This is why I encourage clients to both verbally process life stressors and take action. What does taking action look like in therapy? Maybe it's paying a parking ticket that hasn't been paid yet but continues to be a source of stress. Or, maybe it's creating a weekly calendar to help organize your schedule. Whatever the task may be, I want you to leave our sessions feeling accomplished and motivated."

"Providing a safe and confidential place for you to talk about your concerns is my primary goal. In our first appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss what has triggered your decision to seek therapy, ask lots of questions and decide whether I am a good "fit" for you. I look on therapy as a collaborative, exploratory effort, and while I do not direct clients, I hope our discussions will help you to understand yourself better, feel better, and find some answers to the difficulties you are bringing to therapy."

"The therapeutic dialogue is a unique collaboration in which exploration and growth can occur while addressing difficult issues around relationships and life. I work with clients to navigate challenges and explore the parts of themselves that have held them back or limited their ability to make satisfying decisions. Each person coming to therapy is in a different place with different needs. I meet them at that place and work with them to move forward and find healing. My goal is to approach clients with compassionate understanding."

"We all can feel stuck from time to time. Whether it's a relationship issue, a career issue, or challenges with depression or anxiety, we can find ourselves repeating the same patterns. I work with individuals, couples, and groups and help people understand the patterns of their lives and how to move beyond challenges and towards fulfillment."

"I work with adults seeking to grow through life's transitions struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self esteem, illness, divorce, stress. Everyone has the capacity to change and as a therapist my goal is to support, empower, and challenge you to create the life you want. I believe that growth occurs through caring and compassion. We will build on your strengths and develop effective life skills. We will create a plan that incorporates your goals to make you better able to direct your life toward more meaning and fulfillment."

"I specialize in working with life changes -- for those who feel overwhelmed by life transitions or feel stuck in current situations and are ready for change. Some major areas of focus for me are cultural adjustment, emotional disregulation, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and loneliness. I am here to listen to your story, and we can work together to identify new paths toward healing, meaning, and hope. I work in an integrative and supportive manner, focusing on the needs you identify. All are welcome."

"I work with men, women and couples who have been affected by unwanted sexual behavior, be that pornography, affairs, or buying sex. I've found that these behaviors offer a sense of escape from the difficulties of life, but far more, they attempt to ruin the aspects of our lives that hold the most potential for goodness - your family, relationships, and identity. The struggles we face are not random or capricious. Therapy will explore the unique reasons that set up your behavior and journey with you into a new, desired future."

"Welcome! I believe it takes courage to step more towards our authentic-selves, and that we need relationship in order to really see how we impact and are impacted by others. My approach to therapy is a relational view to help uncover what issues keep us from living more fully into who we are innately. I am also passionate about uncovering how our initial attachment figures influence present-day relationships."

"Spiritual Counseling is my integrative approach to holistic, wellness-based counseling. I help my counseling clients find freedom and balance of mind-body-spirit by addressing their depression, anxiety, PTS and/or PTSD through the bio-psychological, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of healing. Rooted in the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Psychology, my style addressees the physical, psychological, and social sides of being human, while recognizing these parts are interdependent. From there, I branch out into the Multicultural world of Spirituality and help my clients connect deeper to their own individual spiritualities-empowering them as self-healers."
