"I am a clinical psychologist dedicated to compassionate care and a balanced approach based in psychological science. I seek to help clients gain skills and insight to enact sustainable change that aligns with their goals and values. I work closely with psychiatrists, nutritionists, and other professional to ensure that my client is seen as a whole individual. I offer assessment, therapy and consultation to adults and adolescents. I serve a diversity of client needs, including stress and anxiety reduction, mood management, trauma and resolving past challenges, women's health, self-esteem, and LGBTQ health."

"My work is designed to bridge the gap between your desired experience and your current experience. You can begin to feel--and live--differently starting with the first session. Through our work together you gain a sense of connection to your true desires and the energy to create the life you really want. Rather than just talking about something, you will have the opportunity to experience something different that then extends to daily life. My practice combines modern nueroscience with ancient healing arts and somatic psychology. I believe it's the tailored combination of creative approaches that achieves your goals."

"I see the therapeutic journey as a process rather than a destination. As such, every experience--whether "good" or "bad" is useful for one's transformation. With this as our pole star, life can again become exciting and spontaneous and can overflow with vitality; one regains authorship of one's own life--true creativity. Therapy should aid in the lifting of depression so that one one can rejoin the flow of one's life. It should begin to infuse the smallest moments with meaning while equipping and empowering one with practical tools to carry on this work beyond the therapeutic hour."

"Perhaps you are feeling lost and overwhelmed. Stuck in feelings of sadness and dread with a sense that something terrible is going to happen or that it will never get better. Perhaps your outward life is going better than ever--and still, there is a persistent, internal voice that leaves you awash in feelings of shame or doubt. Maybe you have been holding secrets. And maybe you are having difficulty moving on from an abusive or an emotionally turbulent relationship--haunted by the betrayals and the lingering questions."

"You may feel unhappy or stuck in relationships because others don't seem to understand you. My groups are "process" groups. In a process group, we talk about the feelings that come up during the group time. This lets group members get an honest reflection of their behavior from their peers, rather than something watered down by a therapist. This is a great way to build what I call "Emotional Muscle." With Emotional Muscle, you gain more self-control. You still feel your feelings, but you choose how you respond. Some people call this the ability to "self-soothe.""

"Welcome everyone! I work with youth, individuals, couples and families. My areas of specialty include Depression, Anxiety, Current or Past Abuse, Gender Identity Issues, Internalized Oppression (of all forms), Substance Abuse and overall lapses in happiness. Sitting with you I am attuned to how sensitive our social identities contribute to how we feel. I believe we all have a story to tell which is unique and personal. It is my role to bring Hope, Compassion, Respect & Knowledge to our time together."

"From all appearances, you've got it so good. Lying in wait, just under the surface, are the life traumas that wounded you deeply but were never addressed. And those secrets have you turning to substances more and more. One weekly drink becomes a daily bottle, and you're making excuses to your boss, your friends, your family. Do you want to quit but you don't know how? I can help you find your way out of this despair and into the life you want. You can do this. Let's talk."

"My practice focuses on helping children, teens and adults address chronic issues. I work primarily with individuals who are experiencing mood issues or concerns, including depression, anxiety or recurring negative thinking. I also have considerable experience in helping families who are struggling with behavioral and/or communication issues and working directly with teens who need additional support."

"Are you feeling burned out, depleted, stuck, or blah? Would you like to access more joy, peace, and authenticity in your life? Do you have a lot of insight, but still struggle with making changes? Let me help you to remember and accentuate your inner wisdom and resilience."

"In my experience, things can start getting better fast, long before the problem is solved. Rated in the top 1% of psychotherapists on LinkedIn, I'm warm, practical, experienced & hard-working. I'll help you tackle problems related to trauma, difficult childhoods, bad bosses, relationships of all sorts that just don't work well, and the distress of having repeated disappointments in life. I'm interested in helping make real change, and not just developing interesting insights (although they can be useful too.)"

"Your decision to enter the process of therapy is an act of trust that I take seriously and respectfully. I've had the privilege of assisting women, men, couples and youth as they work through the variety of experiences and challenges that make us human. Although I was initially trained in psychodynamic and attachment theory, we may incorporate any of several clinical approaches. What suits the client's needs and preferences is key. Together, we create a supportive atmosphere where what matters to the client can be expressed and explored. More satisfying and effective ways of moving forward can be nurtured."

"I began my work as a therapist more than a decade ago, and have immensely enjoyed my work along the way. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Child Mental Health Specialist, and Maternal Mental Health Specialist. The focus of my work is primarily in women's mental health and postpartum support, as well as individuals struggling with depression and anxiety. I view my role as an active participant in your journey to wellness, with a collaborative, authentic, and client-centered approach."

"I provide psychotherapy to individuals and families to promote growth and empowerment through supportive listening, mindfulness, and examination of past experiences, allowing clients to cultivate insight and bring about lasting change. I use a collaborative and dynamic approach that incorporates multiple theoretical approaches and techniques to meet both individual and family needs and preferences. I believe that insight alone does not bring about change; rather, we must do something different to become something different. I offer compassion, humor, honesty, and straightforward feedback while I empower individuals and families to explore their own goals and work toward growth and healing."

"Overwhelmed with racing thoughts, responsibilities, having to deal with other people, or life in general? Exploring how counseling can help is a brave step! Change is an ongoing process that can be challenging and exhausting. I help you navigate this progression while creating a safe and supportive space to explore and create new ways to transform the areas you have trouble with."

"I work with individuals who have difficulties with mood, anxiety, mental rumination, and obsessiveness. Although these issues are personal, they also effect one's relationships and the ability to fulfill one's deepest longings. Although symptoms will be addressed, I always place one's struggles in context of the whole person and their relationships past and present. I strive to be authentic as a therapist and create space for you and your unique experiences to emerge in a way that builds trust, honesty, and genuine collaboration."

"Every person has a story. My role is to help make sense of it. I see individuals and couples who seek change or who are in the midst of emotional pain and confusion. While I often utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I start where you are, with an integrative approach that allows space for your experience to guide the process. I am an active and curious listener. Together, we will determine the route you want to take in therapy, and in your life."

"I work with adults, children, teens, and couples who are seeking insight into their own processes and behaviors, with a desire to heal broken places. I am passionate about helping people connect to their inner strength, beauty, and goodness, which means I will have a bias toward kindness and self-compassion. It can be intimidating and overwhelming making the first steps toward wellness-I aim to be open and authentic right off the bat to help ease some of the anxiety. I am an artist who has spent many years working in restaurants, so I especially love working with artists and folks in the service industry as they pursue wellness."

"I comprehensively treat individuals and couples with sexual/relationship issues. I address communication/intimacy problems and all sexual concerns, including inhibited or low sexual desire, male erection and female arousal problems, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, vaginismus, lack of orgasm, sexual and emotional skills, sexual "addiction," and sexual trauma. I also fine-tune sex lives. I am a cognitive (CBT) therapist. AASECT and five other national boards certify me as a sex therapist and a sexologist. I help clients get rid of distorted and negative thinking, which has a positive effect on emotions, behaviors and relationships. I assign homework/home-play!"

"Undergoing intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy is deeply personal. For many individuals, this adventure into unknown recesses of their psyches reveals personal vistas previously unimagined. Such exploration frequently involves painful disclosures, frightening discoveries, an extraordinary development of self-understanding, an increase in capacity for intimate sharing, and an integration of strengths and aspirations. Such a journey, with phases of both pain and exhilaration, usually takes place over an extended period."

"I enjoy working with people who are motivated to understand their depression, anxiety or unhappiness so that they can experience relief and freedom in their lives. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and your experience in the world, especially in your relationships, so that you can understand yourself better and begin to make the changes you desire. One of my strengths as a therapist of 25+ years is that I help people get to the heart of the matter quickly so they can understand the source of their distress and begin to feel better and move forward."
