"Are you unappreciated? Do you have trouble with intimacy and relationships? Do you feel unfulfilled? Are you depressed or stressed out and feel as if you just "can't go on"? Choosing a psychotherapist is an important--and often difficult--decision. I practice psychotherapy that it is interactive: I respond to what my clients tell me; I offer advice when appropriate; and provide guidance for deeper understanding when this can be helpful."

"Over the years I have drawn on my own life experience of a 20 year marriage, and the raising of two teenagers as well as my professional background and training. It is a brave step forward to reach out for help and it needs to feel safe when you do so. Because of this I offer free consultations to make sure we are a good fit to work together. I use CBT, Internal Family Systems work, Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method of couple's counseling. I believe in therapy because I have seen it work."

"My practice specializes in treating children, adolescents and adults across the life span, with a special interest in helping 18- to 30-year-olds navigate young adulthood. My style derives from psychodynamic, family systems, relational and cognitive schools of psychotherapy. As an individual and family therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, accepting environment where clients can safely explore personal issues and family members can learn new ways of understanding each other and being together. My aim is to my help clients deepen their self-awareness, change self-defeating patterns and beliefs, and develop new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to others."

"Grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, a decline in health, or any other life transition can be a lonely, painful, and confusing time. Your friends and family may want you to be "back to normal" but you may feel anything but "normal." I can help you to heal from your losses whether recent or in the past by providing therapeutic counseling in a safe nurturing environment. I worked in hospice for 11 years as a grief therapist. I have seen people not only heal from their losses but find new meaning and hope."

"I am a relational therapist working with individuals, couples, and those in non-traditional relationships. Seeking support from psychotherapy is a sign of inner strength and hope, even when it feels as if ones world has turned inside-out. Life rarely allows any of us a free pass; births and deaths, personal crises, relationship troubles, childhood trauma, etc. may meet anyone of us head-on at sometime during our lives. Seeking help from psychotherapy is a worthwhile path to take when ways of coping no longer seem effective. I nurture the possibility of deeper understanding and self-knowledge by creatively engaging the whole person."

My work is oriented toward insight, changes in behavior, and releasing the capacity for everyday action and life satisfaction that have been inaccessible due to anxiety, depression or trauma."

"It takes courage to go to therapy, especially when you feel stuck. That is why I appreciate the importance of a safe, nurturing and non-judgemental environment.

"Many people in our society go through life at war with themselves, feeling insecure, anxious, unworthy, and unlovable. When we constantly struggle to accept parts of ourselves, symptoms such as anxiety and depression can develop, and have a negative impact on our personal relationships, careers, educational goals, and our ability to live fully. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, ability, and gender identity can cause or exacerbate feelings of low self-esteem or worthlessness. As a therapist, I offer a warm, accepting approach that is deeply influenced by radical acceptance, mindfulness, psychodynamic theory, and feminist practice."
