I enjoy working with individuals (18 or older) that are curious about themselves, reflective and who desire change. The therapeutic alliance or the relational 'good fit' stands out as the fundamental factor in effective treatment. I am interested in developmental issues in adults and addressing repetitive patterns that stand in the way of growth. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy including attachment , mentalization and creativity based treatments.

At times life can become overwhelming due to life transitions, relationship challenges, depression, or anxiety. I believe that life's struggles become more bearable when they can be held and explored in a safe therapeutic environment. My approach is warm and comprehensive, based in respect and genuine caring. In our work together, I will engage in an exploratory journey with you to gain insight into both your conscious and unconscious feelings and patterns. My hope is that through the therapeutic process you will find greater relief from suffering, allowing for healing and growth in your inner life and outer relationships.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. My degree is Master of Science in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola College (University) in Baltimore, Md. I've been a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) in private practice for 30 years. I'm also the mother of a young adult, and am married (42+years). My specialties are couples therapy and individual therapy for adults & single parents. I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist (' Couples ' Dialogue'). I also specialize in reconciliation in relationships. Recovery issues, the grief cycle, vulnerability, and empathy are the primary focus in sessions -- including empathy for oneself.

When working with a client, I find it most important to create an "emotional safe space" where one feels comfortable to openly express and is able to feel truly heard and understood. My overall approach focuses on helping one strengthen one's own relationship with them self via self compassion and self kindness. It is my experience that this is the most effective way to find clarity and balance in one's relationships, work and overall ability to feel unconditionally comfortable with oneself. It means nourishing your mind, body and soul by having the kindest thoughts about yourself, caring for your body and finding your own unique spiritual connection between you and life. When we focus on our own "wholeness" we are able to find peace and able to give more to our relationships and to our dreams.

Do you want to change the emotional climate of your relationship ? I am passionate about working with couples to transform relationships from isolation to intimate connection, together building a safe haven. Relationships can get stuck in destructive patterns leaving couples feeling isolated in their marriage. As couples grow in self-awareness and share their more authentic and vulnerable feelings they can build a haven of safety, including increased compassion, ability to comfort each other and resolve arguments. Through the process couples discover they feel more secure with themselves and other relationships are enhanced as well. Let this be your story.

The path to living the life you want begins where courage and fear meet. When we are low in courage and high in fear we feel unsettled, busied, strained and eventually-void of hope. The thought that life will get better or that we will feel better becomes hijacked by the void. Our day to day begins to feel meaningless. This absence of meaning can be experienced as emptiness, sadness, loneliness, despair and misery. It can also be experienced as restlessness, irritability, avoidance, stomachaches, headaches and illness. These experiences drive our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and behaviors and can lead to mental and physical decline.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are available to all people, regardless of their present circumstances or their past misfortune. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and each individual is an expert on their personal experiences and goals. I seek to explore and build from each client's personal strengths to find viable solutions, enhance coping skills, and nurture the path to positive change. I believe no one is truly alone, and that feelings of loneliness can be very real and overwhelming. There is strength in reaching out for help. I seek to provide an empathetic environment of self-discovery and change.

Hello, my name is Oliver Viboolkij, LMFT. My approach to therapy is to alleviate immediate concerns. Afterward, we can focus on how to personally manage what may be perpetuating psychological symptoms in the spaces you occupy. The areas I'm most competent in are attachment conflicts, sexual issues, anxiety, substance use, obsessive thoughts compulsive behaviors, and mood disorders.

Finding a new therapist may initially feel overwhelming, especially when trying to find the right fit. With that in mind, I aim to prioritize a positive therapeutic relationship . I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable and seen. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and overcome obstacles that may be hindering their quality of life.

Life can be hard, but you don't have to just 'tough it out'. If you are having a hard time and need some support, please reach out. You don't have to wait to start therapy. We know that it can be hard to make that phone call or send that email. We welcome each client with a genuine, down-to-Earth, and collaborative approach to therapy.

Are you anxious, depressed, or discouraged? Have you recently been diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening illness? Are you struggling with a difficult relationship ? With much experience navigating these issues, I am passionate about joining with clients to create a warm and safe space to move forward in healing and confidence, to identify goals and strengths, and to develop strategies to move beyond a “stuck” place. Having specialized training addressing the social and emotional effects of chronic illness, it is my honor to help patients and family members navigate an often complicated, unfamiliar, and upsetting time.

We live our lives in search of happiness, fulfillment, enrichment, and balance through our relationships, families, jobs and career. These areas can become demanding, stressful and even overwhelming. We face challenging situations of life transitions, grief and loss, family dynamics, trauma and abuse. As a result, we experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and other moods. This is a good time to consider seeking professional help. The journey of psychotherapy can be challenging, yet it is often healing and rewarding.

Do you find it difficult to articulate how you're feeling but know that something feels like it's missing? Are you having difficulty accessing your passion or connection to life? The meaningful connection you are seeking may in fact be with parts of yourself. Many of us are secretly wrestling with inner complexities and feeling alone in the process, yet we do not have to be. My goal is to partner with you in a deeper relationship with yourself that results in a deeper presence to your life, an awareness of patterns that may no longer be serving you and forming relationships where you are being seen and loved for your authentic self.

Life can be overwhelming. Ongoing problems can leave us frustrated and defeated. Anxiety, depression, trauma, drug and alcohol dependence, relationship conflict, or isolation make it even harder to cope. The joy and spirit of life that we once had seems far gone. We may feel like we've been holding it together for weeks, months, or even years. At our lowest we lose perspective and believe things will never change. We don't want to be this way anymore. Life shouldn't feel this hard.

Are you trying to heal from a hurtful relationship ? Relationships end for a variety of reasons. I work with individuals that are looking for healing and closure from emotionally abusive relationships. We hear a lot about narcissism and the term “gaslighting” is thrown around as a buzzword on social media. It can be confusing trying to understand what happened and why. My passion is helping you accept your past experiences and not only heal, but also grow from them.
