"If you are at the point of seriously considering therapy, then you might be experiencing intolerable pain and frustrated with life. You now recognize that something needs to change and you would like help to achieve that. The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Will they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain?"

"Is this you? You're in a relationship or you're an adult individual and you're looking for someone to discuss and explore possibilities with. You're motivated to gain a greater understanding about yourself and/or your relationship and you'd like a trustworthy witness to your efforts when others may not be able or willing. Many days you feel a lack of connection between your partner, your friends and maybe even yourself. Having a safe space to discuss your thoughts and feelings is a priority and you want healthier boundaries so you can stay connected to the people you care about but still advocate for yourself. I believe I can help."

"I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, develop, and grow. Entering therapy takes courage and commitment so it will be my first priority is to create feelings of safety and trust. From this base we can work together to identify inner conflicts, clarify beliefs, and release limiting patterns to support you in living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. I treat anxiety and depression, trauma grief and loss, life stage transitions, parenting issues, co-dependency, and gambling addictions. I am trained in EMDR to treat PTSD, trauma and anxiety."

"Have you felt invisible in relationships, as though your words, needs and wishes are ignored? Perhaps you feel affected by past events but aren't sure how to let them go and stop them from affecting you now. I'd like to help. I use the latest interpersonal neurobiological research and techniques to let the miracle of your mind-body heal. This allows your innate intelligence to shine through, helping you attain resilience and fulfilling relationships"

"Frustrated? Unhappy? Want some insight and change? I offer an encouraging approach to help you explore your world in a therapeutic environment. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience; you have lived your life longer than I have known you. I often use the metaphor of being a flashlight in a dark cave, shedding light on different things, however, you, as the client are in the driver's seat; I am in the passenger seat, as a co-driver. Together, we will explore your personal meanings and experiences while making larger connections to your goals. I invite you to our journey together in creating new meaning."

"My practice focuses on general counseling, psychotherapy and sport psychology. I work collaboratively with individuals in addressing personal needs through multiple techniques essential to achieving relief. I also work with athletes and sport participants regardless of ability or level of participation. What all athletes, have in common is that their sport is important to them, it enhances their life, and are committed to being the best they can be. I assist athletes, coaches, and family members in addressing psychological factors that impact participation and performance in sport. Sport psychology can enhance the performance, personal growth, and overall well-being."

"Hi there! Welcome to one more step in your search for the life you want. Therapy is one way to increase joy, be reminded of whats wonderful about yourself, and overcome the barriers that have blocked you in the past. It also gives you the tools to continue that process. Collaboratively we strengthen your sense of worth so that you have the energy and motivation to work toward your personal goals. Increasing self-compassion and awareness frees an individual from the habits or ruts we all tend to dip into in life."

"You have two personas; how the world sees you and who you are at home. Most would describe you strong and while that may be true, the mircoagressions you deal with on a daily basis are wearing you down. For you, vulnerability is often seen as a weakness, so you've built a wall around yourself. That wall provides the illusion of protection, but makes it difficult for you connect with others and leaves you feeling isolated. You support your community, your family, and your friends, but lack your own support."

"Everyone is capable of deep healing, growth, and connection. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need the support of an outsider to make space for healing, clarity and fulfillment. My approach is a collaboration with my clients rooted in somatic experiencing and other evidenced-based practices including Brain Spotting, which is a treatment specific for treating symptoms of trauma. I have experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression and relational concerns. I specialize in the treatment of Trauma and PTSD."

"Nothing is more difficult than relationships. And nothing means more to you. All of us are hard-wired to be in relationship, to care for and be cared for by others. But what do you do when differences lead to never-ending battles because you never get close to the real issues? Or when withdrawal leads to resentments that are never addressed at all. I would like to help you remember your strengths that brought you together in the first place, feel relief as you share what is important to you, and appreciate each other's differences, which may really be a strength."
