"None of us is trying to live a crummy life. I believe that we are all doing the best we can to be in a healthy relationship with ourselves, significant others, spouses, children or friends. When our best efforts don't work, we become "stuck". It helps to get a third party to bounce our ideas and thoughts against. My goal in therapy is to create a comfortable, safe place to talk about life and walk through both good and bad experiences to help you reach your goals."

"I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents struggling with a variety of issues. My clinical interests include interpersonal relationship issues, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, health, athletic performance, and a variety of other mental health concerns. "

"Have you ever gotten the feeling that the same thing keeps happening to you over and over again... in your relationships, at work, in your attitude about yourself? If so, I would like to help. Past disruptions in our lives can have major impacts on how we live in the present day. I am excited to share my knowledge on these patterns with you and help you move forward. I have more than ten years of experience in counseling individuals from many walks of life. I feel honored to be a part others' healing journeys."

"So it's come to this. You're looking for a counselor. Maybe you've been putting this off for a long time and something happened just recently to make you take the step. Maybe someone you know thinks you should "get help." Maybe there's something you want to talk about but don't know if you can tell your family or friends. Or maybe it's something totally different. My job is to give you the tools you need to make your current situation better by increasing your knowledge, skills, insight, awareness, and most of all, hope."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS Sometimes life can be overwhelming. It can be hard to get out of bed in the morning, wondering when or if anything will ever get better. This can be exhausting and lonely. I believe in working in partnership with individuals and families so they feel supported throughout the ups and downs of life. Whether you're seeking support with life stressors, reconciling past experiences, exploring facets of your identity, or struggling to maintain everyday life, you’re not alone. I will work in collaboration with you to develop the tools needed to overcome some of these challenges."

"Much of my career has been devoted to the work of mandated domestic/anger issues (this is not domestic prevention) in terms of understanding, controlling, and managing the emotion of anger. In that context I devote a considerable amount of my time to working with men in a variety of relationships. However, I also work with women and relationship/anger issues. I also specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, other mood disorders, and grief. "

"Are you lacking courage in tackling the day to day tasks of life? Are you finding it difficult to manage stress? Are life issues taking you away from finding joy in your journey? I specialize in managing stress, anxiety, parenting and blended family issues, depression, substance abuse, trauma, empty nest, infertility issues, grief and loss, anger management, and abuse. In the past I have worked at as a Mental Health Therapist in a faith-based addiction treatment facility, as a family and parenting coach, as well as in private practice."

"For many years I served adolescents, teens and families as a youth minister and school counselor. Since 1999 I've been helping individuals, couples and families who struggle with depression, substance abuse/addictions, relationship issues, adjusting to change, grief/loss and other concerns. I direct marriage preparation courses for engaged couples; provide marriage counseling and enrichment courses; help adolescents, teens and families cope with divorce; and facilitate growth and change for individuals with a variety of concerns. I work in a way that is both supportive and challenging to best serve my clients. Myslef and colleagues conduct interventions for families dealing with chemical dependency issues."

"*Accepting New Clients* Evening appointments available. I am for you and I'm so glad that you have decided to reach out for support! Maybe you are overwhelmed with stress, dealing with change, or transition. Maybe you have suffered a significant loss. You might be struggling with staying on task, difficulty focusing, lack of motivation, or setting limits. Maybe you want to understand yourself, your family of origin and other relationships more fully. Whatever your need is, I will meet you where you are at in your journey."

"I work with individuals, couples and families, (adolescents and adults) who feel disconnected from themselves, their emotions, their relationships, bodies, life purpose, or higher power. This may be because of an addiction, a personality disorder, relationship distress, a developmental or neurological disorder, depression, anxiety or a host of other issues. We work together to imagine and create integration.I am passionate about helping people create personal health and well-being for themselves and in their relationships, however they define this."

"I am passionate about helping women cope with everyday stress caused by a variety of sources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I can help. I believe in helping women achieve a positive relationship with themselves so they feel whole, heard, and happy in life. Some of the issues and life areas I can help you resolve include going through divorce/relationship ending, eating disorders, sexual assault/trauma, work life balance, professional development, depression and anxiety, as well as other mood disorders, sensory processing disorders (including highly sensitive individuals), life transitions, grief/loss."

"We can find incredible joy in our families, but they can also be a source of great heartache. With the right guidance, we can make it through these tough times together and emerge with stronger relationships and closer connections. Adolescence is such an exciting time of self-discovery, exploring interests, and developing close friendships. These changes can also be daunting and scary for teens and their parents and cause tension in family relationships. I am passionate about providing guidance, coping skills, and a supportive listening ear to teens and their families as they navigate these exciting and turbulent years."

"Are you tired of therapists who say that they do relationship therapy only to have you practice basic communication skills? Are you tired of the lack of progress and want to get unstuck once and for all? I specialize in making sure that time does continue to pass by while you are feeling weighed down in the status quo. I'm straightforward and honest. My clients describe me as annoyingly neutral when they try to get me to take sides against their partners. They also describe me as willing to ask the hard questions and willing to keep people accountable. I love helping people navigate every stage of coupling or uncoupling."

"I offer therapy to individuals, couples and families who need a safe and compassionate space to process the struggles they face. When we experience a damaged relationship, trauma or life challenges, our world seems to unravel. I am privileged to walk alongside those who find themselves in this confusing place. I offer a non- judgmental, compassionate and confidential space to explore together; a refuge where clients can determine goals and find new perspectives and solutions that will restore life's meaning and purpose."

"Are you overwhelmed, worried, stressed, sad, or on edge from the demands of modern parenthood? You might be having difficulty adjusting to being a parent or struggling to bond with your child. Any number of external factors amplify this transitional period such as mental health, adoption, hospitalization, or family stress. Perhaps, you're feeling the effects of past depression, anxiety or trauma and want to start your healing journey now. These are common concerns, so know you are not alone, and know that I can help you along the road to being the healthier, happier, calmer, and confident person and the parent you want to be. "
