During times of struggle or change having someone to help you through is invaluable. An outside perspective can be beneficial in navigating through and overcoming challenges. As a team, we can get through those tough times. You are an individual and as such my approach varies with what works best for you. Empathy and compassion are key components of client care. My skills have a wide range of applicability and I am passionate about my work. Whether it is skill building, understanding oneself, trauma, human sexuality, or another mental health need; I can help. We all need a little help sometimes; all you need to do is ask.

"I offer an integrated, creative approach to psychotherapy focusing on the unique needs, interests and vitality of each of my clients.I am dedicated to processes that help individuals discover new solutions to difficult life challenges and achieve important life dreams and goals. I am committed to nonjudgmental, optimistic, realistic approaches. As no single method suits everyone, my own approach draws from energy and positive psychology, attachment theory, humanistic, existential, and depth psychology. I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapies as well as long term continuous care. We can meet in my private office or get outside for alternative settings such as hiking, walking, snowshoeing, etc.

Each person is unique in their strengths and needs therefore therapy must be individualized. I believe that my role as a therapist, is to create an environment where one enjoys coming in to see me and can leave with a sense of hope for their future. My style is to be my genuine self, casual and comfortable, accepting of everyone along with all their thoughts and emotions. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or scary; it can be a positive and peaceful experience.

Are you a woman who feels that her life is less beautiful than it could be? Do you feel like painful past events will control your entire future? You might even feel hopeless, sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. Perhaps you thought you had put your past behind you. Maybe you thought you had "dealt with things" already, but they keep coming up in your life and in your personal relationships. You are heartsick. You are in pain. You are wondering if you will ever be happy again.

For awhile now you have felt like something is “off,” that something in your life you used to count on is missing. It’s terrifying to feel like the sense of who you are is now fundamentally different or even gone. Maybe there was a distinct moment or maybe it was more gradual, but you are now in a place that feels unfamiliar. Whatever your journey has been to get to this moment you’ve decided it’s not something you can continue ignoring. You want nothing more than to reclaim a sense of identity and purpose; a sense of control, to transition through your—health, faith, identity, relationship, and/or work transition—on your own terms.

You might be feeling lonely, afraid, lost, confused, unhappy, sad, or abandoned; maybe even a combination. A belief about “not being good enough” or “that it was your fault” has controlled your life for way too long. Your struggle to make your own suffering and most hurtful beliefs disappear has left you feeling hopeless, guilty, and lost about the direction of your life. Some of your pain might be coming from being asked to grow up too fast or being asked to do things that were unfair or unrealistic; which leads you to lose your voice or direction in your own life. You may have been put in unbearable situations,

I'm an experienced child and family therapist ready to assist you in dealing with life challenges that come your way. As a parent and professional, I understand the many struggles attached to this journey through life. I also work with adults in helping to discover a place of healing and happiness.

It can be extremely frustrating to feel stuck, like you just can’t get out of a rut, whether that be a habit, behavior, relationship, or something else, and it can be hard to try and overcome it alone. While making the decision to ask for help can feel just as challenging as whatever you’re trying to overcome, it is such an important step to make to start getting out of that rut. In the past I have found myself stuck too, and have had to work through issues of motivation and lack of purpose through avoidance. After finding that purpose in life through my work and the outdoors, I love helping others find their own way too.

Are you exhausted? Are you scrolling through the all of these listings unsure of how to choose a therapist, wondering if it will even help you or someone you love? You might be telling yourself you are weak, lazy or broken because you keep falling into the same hole. I hear you. I really hear you—and I get it. I understand what’s its like to feel doomed about the future or profound sadness about the past. For a few seasons in my life, I deeply struggled with a substance use disorder in an attempt to numb a debilitating and chronic anxiety disorder. My attempt to escape my own emotional pain only made it worse and led to depression

It can feel very isolating to look in the mirror and not recognize the face staring back at you. Sometimes, you can feel so lost that you forget where your journey first began. Or perhaps, you never had the time to figure out the direction you wanted to go. Stress, loneliness, sadness, and pain have become your companions, and while you can feel your feet on the ground, more often than not, you find your heart and mind drifting elsewhere. Whether you are in the midst of a painful experience or have been fighting to survive for years, there is more to your life than hardship. There is hope. There is healing. And there is purpose.

I work with individual adults and couples from all economic, racial, sexual orientation and cultural sectors.

My goal is to help you realize your full potential and work through whatever it is that’s blocking you from achieving it. I use an action-oriented approach to therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behavioral strategies to create life flexibility and long lasting changes.

Sometimes in life we reach a point where we feel stuck, but there is hope. My ideal patient is focused upon personal growth and healing. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether its depression, anxiety, mood disorders, family relational issues, couples and marriage concerns, parent-child relational problems, substance abuse, addiction, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, trauma recovery, grief support, acting-out behaviors, among other issues we face in life, therapy can help. You don't have to do this alone.

I specialize in helping you find a joyful, balanced, and grounded life. I believe the most effective route to change and healing is through connection - both within yourself and in relationships with others. I find this especially true now. Navigating transitions, relationships, and challenges can be complicated - and anxiety and depression make things difficult. In sessions we address painful feelings and experiences, resulting in increased happiness and better relationships. We will work together to uncover your authentic self, build tools to create change, and tune into your innate resiliency.

Hi, I'm Toni! I have been practicing therapy for over 20 years, and I aboslutely love what I do. I'm upbeat, positive, and optimistic. I'm passionate about helping you find real solutions to your problems. I care deeply about my clients. I love working with couples and I feel most at home treating anxiety and depression.

Do you wish you had deeper, more peaceful relationships? Are there issues from the past that still linger in the present? Are you feeling isolated and alone or just wish daily life wasn't such a struggle? The problems that you face are not insurmountable. There are skillful ways to build bridges and create harmony with others as well as resolve the past and feel hopeful about the future. There is a way to find joy in everyday life.

My passion as a therapist is to advocate for those I am working with by providing a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship. I love getting to know new people and being trusted to help them through their difficult times. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, and internal conflicts. I use an eclectic approach to therapy as I have found that one treatment modality doesn't meet everyone's needs. I have been trained in EMDR and use it frequently to get the root of problems in an efficient and effective manner.
