"As someone who has worked with adolescents, young adults, and their families in various capacities for over 23 years, I bring a great deal of experience to my work as a counselor. Working as a special education teacher in the high school setting for 8 years, I obtained great insight into the struggles inherent to both adolescents, and their families. My approach to counseling is not confined to one specific framework but incorporates a variety of modalities tailored to each client's unique needs. I use strength-based language and always work toward client's strengths and goals for counseling, and away from any perceived problems."

"I have over 30 years of service in individual, couples and group counseling. I am a compassionate friend, open to healing your heart and opening your mind by deepening spirit and celebrating the Real You. I have worked in community mental health centers, schools and private practice facilitating domestic violence offender programs, recovery programs, anger management programs, protective non-risk parenting groups, providing spiritual, emotional, cognitive and behavioral counseling to individuals, couples and families. I love working with individuals, couples and teens around issues of trauma, relationships and emotional regulation."

"I approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model. I view every individual/family/couple as unique, utilizing methods and techniques best-suited for each situation. My experience includes many areas, all pertaining to individuals, couples and families. I am passionate in working with women, teens, couples and the LGBTQ community. I was trained in Family Systems Therapy; I approach therapy work holistically, focusing on the individual and extending beyond, to the interactions between family members and significant others. I work with clients to help them recognize how extended family, culture, and society may impact them as individuals."

"It can be hard to take steps to take care of yourself and/or your family. Sometimes we are so used to patterns or behaviors that no longer serve our needs. In therapy the first steps to recognizing and changing patterns or behaviors that no longer work for you or your family occur. My approach is strength based, and grounded in ongoing compassion for one selves and others. "

"I am interested in using your inherent strengths to help you overcome any issues, or changes you seek in your life. I have specific experience in working with adolescents, children, and their families, with a focus on; anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse."

"I help people 45 and over who are feeling a sense of panic or urgency to FINALLY live authentically and purposefully. Who feel disillusioned and discontent about where their life is now and where they'd like to be. Who feel stuck in the gap between doing what they're "used to" or think they "should" do, to taking the courageous leap into the life they've been craving. Who dare to live boldly, but lack the energy, motivation, direction and support to carry it through. If depression, shame , guilt and confusion have become familiar companions, it's NOT TOO LATE!"

"I aim to provide a non judgmental, welcoming environment for people from all walks of life to come in and explore their emotions and patterns of thinking. Whatever your reason for seeking counseling, I will meet you where you are at and explore treatment options in a collaborative manner."

"When working with me, my primary concern is building a therapeutic relationship of trust and safety. I want to help you through life's challenges, struggles and transitions. Whether you are depressed, anxious, conflicted, or uncertain of the path you should take in life; I will assist you with giving you the space and the tools necessary to transition and be successful. I take pride in meeting you where you are and building on your strengthens, teaching ways to cope and adjust."

"I believe the first step in healing and for change to occur begins with understanding why we do the things we do. I imagine you've come here because you're struggling. By being here, you've taken the first step toward understanding. The next step is reaching out to talk to a counselor. I'll meet you where you are in this process. You set the pace. With compassion, empathy, and non-judgment, I will create a safe space where you feel heard and understood, so we can explore whatever brings you to therapy. We'll look at behaviors that work for you, understand behaviors that no longer serve you, and identify areas you want to change."

"As a Mental Health Counselor, I believe that life presents us challenges that we sometimes need help to overcome. My specialty is working with young people between the ages of 10 and 21, but I do work with clients of all ages, with a focus on mood and behavioral stability. The foundations of my approach to counseling are Existential Psychology and Jungian Analytical Psychology. I have extensive experience working in Native American and multicultural communities."

"I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with relational and individual emotional difficulties stemming from childhood neglect and/or abuse. I use body-centered trauma therapies that reach the source of anxiety and depression by addressing the mind and the body. I can show you how the brain works to release long-held patterns that create the symptoms you don't want. Clients learn skills for Mindfulness and sensation awareness for complete release of the shock, grief, abandonment and shame that are often the root cause of depressive or hyperactive nervous systems."

"I love working with a wide range of people from children to seniors, and work with individuals, couples and families. I am LGBTQIA friendly and love working with diverse populations. I have over fifteen years of experience working with teenagers, and over the last seen years have worked closely with adults, families and couples. I love seeing people have renewed hope and vitality in their lives. "

"As a Marriage and Family Therapist my approach is systemic and strength-based. I believe in human connection as the most important factor to our own happiness and the health of families and communities. In my work with clients we strive to identify the unique strengths and abilities that will help them cope with life's challenges and build stronger relationships."

" Perhaps your desire to feel more peace and empowerment has brought you to this search. You are hoping to find a therapist who will provide acceptance, guidance, and tools to help you move to a better place. You may have been searching for resolution in the outer circumstances of your life, but you suspect the origin of suffering may be closer to home. Eventually you may discover the relationship and tools you seek are within you. But how to get there? Past experiences may have caused certain expectations to play out in your life. Why not open to new possibilities and allow the past to be over? EMDR has been shown to quickly resolve old traumas and provide new ways of relating to the future. Internal Family Systems brings awareness to the complexity of the human psyche and promotes your innate spiritual resources. Art therapy uses the power of creativity to externalize difficulty for a fresh view of what's possible. I use all these approaches and more to inspire our work together. "

"Is your child or adolescent struggling with big emotions? Are you running into challenges communicating with your family? Are you feeling 'stuck,' disconnected, or having troubles with stressors in your life? Connection to others is such an important part of life and when we're feeling disconnected to those around us it challenges the way we think about ourselves and our world. I invite you, your children, or your whole family to come and reconnect with yourself and/or those around you. Together we can create a peaceful, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts and experiences at your own pace and in your own way."

"In times of distress, uncertainty, transition, or desired change, working with a therapist can help. I believe in our inherent ability to move toward greater well-being, happiness, and healing. It is my job to help you do that-- to find the answers you seek and to create the change and transformation in your self, life, and/or relationships that you dream of. It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable, affirming environment in which to support you along this journey. Wherever you are at, and wherever you are going, it is an honor and privilege to engage with you in the process of getting there. "

"Have you ever experienced conflict in your family, the type of conflict that is always happening and gets shoved under the rug and never dealt with? Are you currently going through a separation or have recently been through a divorce? Do you have children/adolescents that have behavioral issues? If you have experienced any of these situations I would love to work with you, help you see that family reconciliation/restoration is possible, that there is life after divorce, there can be freedom from anxiety and your children can learn new ways to behaviorally function better."
