"OPENINGS AVAILABLE. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years in the field. I have a down to earth balanced approach and do my best to engage people in distress in a calm and productive manner.

"As a Licensed Addiction Counselor, I am motivated to work with people struggling with substance use disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders. I pride myself on being positive, non-judgmental and solution focused and will help explore and educate to help anyone achieve and sustain recovery. I believe that there is not one simple way for one to obtain sobriety or recovery and that treatment should be individually based focusing on one's strengths and motivation. I am also a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with individuals, couples and families that are having issues with relationships."

"Lotus Counseling works with survivors of trauma and those looking to recovery from Eating Disorders. We work with kids, teens, and adults. Kids + teens may be struggling behaviorally, have low self-esteem, disordered eating, self-injure, seem depressed and/or anxious. When this is the result of trauma or family conflict, we are able to help the family system learn how to support each other and provide a safe and validating environment. Adults may be struggling to form intimate relationships, parent effectively, have low self-esteem, disordered eating, function at work or at home, and struggle with their mood/thoughts/feelings. We help adults look at their childhood trauma, family system, and present day trauma/stressors to learn how to break these patterns that are impacting their daily life."

"I am committed to creating a caring, accepting and non-judgmental environment in which clients feel understood, valued, and safe to open up, explore and express their thoughts and feelings. I work with symptoms of anxiety disorders including panic, OCD and phobias using the most effective evidence-based, shorter-term cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based therapies which help reduce acute symptoms within weeks. For people seeking to overcome longer term depression, anger, low self-esteem and self-defeating habits that keep them from living life more fully, I use longer term insight-oriented psychotherapy."

"I consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to work with clients using evidence based psychotherapeutic techniques to set goals and make progress. Perhaps my biggest strength as a counselor is creating a safe and comfortable space in which clients can honestly express themselves. I believe increasing awareness of one's "self" is where the process of recovery begins. I also believe in facilitating systemic change in support of clients searching for the optimal human experience."

"Are you experiencing imbalance, anxiety, depression, unwanted emotions or thoughts, or having difficulty adjusting to life changes, or taking control of your life? Are you concerned for a child or spouse and aren't sure how to help them? This can feel overwhelming and impossible to solve. This dwelling is not a permanent place and you can be relieved of this. With my expertise in combining talk therapy with art therapy, I can guide you in opening new doors to mindfulness, self-expression and healing. Art Therapists are trained extensively in the use of art materials so that you may use them in a safe and healing manner. "

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with older adults and their families. As people age, a variety of issues may arise such as loss of independence, loss of loved ones, changes in family dynamics and possibly the onset of medical and/or mental health illness. Showing understanding and validating feelings through this life stage is the basis of my work. Through identifying fears related to change and loss, I strive to help clients move toward finding greater fulfillment in their lives."

Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped people become more successful in all areas of life. "

"I believe that everyone has the potential to change and grow. Recovering from substance abuse or addiction is a unique experience, which requires specialized treatment and understanding. In my experience, treating everyone in the same way leads to many people feeling unheard and discarded. Every person is an individual, suffering from problems specific to his/her life experience. We will work together to address your unique needs, in a safe and caring environment."
