"At times life can be overwhelming, painful, stressful events appear never ending, and cultivating a healthy relationship may seem challenging. You may feel like things will never get better or that change is out of reach. I believe you have the ability to make positive changes in the way you process uncomfortable feelings, address stressful event, and form satisfying relationships."

"Each person is unique and faces different challenges. I am an expert in customizing theraputic methods and I work with my clients to develop personalized strategies for confronting their specific problems and concerns. For over twenty years, I have been helping families, couples, individuals and children deal with many different issues. I believe that patient relationships are built on foundations of trust and understanding, and I provide my clients with a professional and safe environment to work through their pains, fears and anxieties."

"With over 25 years of experience, I can assure you that therapy can bring hope, relief and change. No particular method is good for everyone, and no one way provides all the answers. An experienced therapist is able to use many tools and navigate many roads to help each person achieve their specific goals. I have been trained in a number of approaches, including psychodynamic, body-mind (sensorimotor) and mindfulness."

"I tend to be most helpful to intense, high-functioning adults struggling with a combination of mood or anxiety symptoms or significant life transitions who are striving toward goals of personal achievement, balance between work and relationships, and a sense of well-being. I may draw on various approaches according in part to the nature of the problem you are dealing with and my experience with what may benefit you. These include cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and psychoeducational approaches. I may propose different ways of looking at or handling situations. I may suggest in-between session reading or homework assignments."

"No matter how dark things appear right now or how great the pain, I believe there is hope. Life can throw some crazy curve balls. I know how earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. So if you feel like giving up, give me a call instead."

"Maybe you haven't said it out loud...but those feelings are still there. Those thoughts pop up..sneaking in to your daily routine. Sometimes you feel uneasy or anxious for no reason. Even when things are going well you still can't help but feel....off. Not yourself. You don't have to carry that stuff around anymore. It doesn't have to weigh you down and effect work, your relationships, your self-esteem. Change Happens Here. Take back control. Take back your life. Feel like YOU again."

"Are anxiety and/or depression taking over your life? Are they sapping your energy, disrupting your relationships, and interfering with your work? Do you wake up feeling anxious or panicky, but don't know why? Do you feel a sense of dread when you think about the day ahead? Do you find it difficult to control your crying? Do these feelings interfere with your ability to concentrate at work? Are important people in your life tiring of hearing about your worries or sadness? Do you wish you could calm your body and mind and find some relief and joy?"

"Do you ever find yourself needing someone to talk to? Do you find your thoughts taking over your mind on a daily basis? The first step to gaining control over your emotions is to reach out for help. I have specialized in helping my clients reach their therapeutic goals through personalized therapy. My vast experience in catering to individuals, couples, and families, has allowed me to individualize the therapeutic process of all my clients. My specialties include helping clients overcome PTSD, Divorce, and Anxiety, which I have found to be some of the main sources of one's emotional struggle."

I strive to encourage growth and positive change in a safe and non-judgmental environment."

"I support families during pregnancy, postpartum, and after loss. I believe in every mother lies an inherent wisdom--a maternal instinct that will not lead you astray when trusted. For many of us, this voice has been quieted by worry, sadness, fear, or doubt. Accessing the joy in motherhood can feel impossible when struggling with these feelings. As a therapist, and a fellow mother, I do not have all the right answers... you do. In our work together, you will unearth your maternal instinct, connect with it, and let it shine."

"I've been a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist since 1975 and a licensed psychologist since 1984. I provide a warm and caring atmosphere, which allows people to expand and grow in their awareness of themselves. My passion is and always has been to help people feel "whole". I believe because we are, at the same time, both spiritual and physical beings, we can turn our experiences from pain, hurt, and daily challenges into a positive learning, changing, and healing process. I am glad to offer the support, guidance, and awareness you may need to achieve this goal."

"It's sad when you meet someone and build a relationship with so much promise and start to see it become distant and cold . You find yourself having the same arguments over and over. At other times, feel like you're avoiding one. The problem is the love you have is constantly being challenged through disagreements and growing distance. You're feeling like you just can't agree or move past the same argument or place of tension. It feels better to be silent or avoid meaningful conversation altogether. Yet at the same time its frightening. You want the love back, intimacy, ,& rekindle passion you once had. I can help you get there."

"Struggling to adjust to a major life change? I help people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, indecision and/or isolation stemming from a shift that has happened in their life. Whether it is a recent or pending break up, the loss of a loved one, or a recent move, change can be extremely challenging and anxiety provoking. Feeling isolated or unsure about where you go after your life isn't quite the same anymore is normal and seeking support during that time can help ease the pain and assist you to gain clarity through the transition. Therapy gives you the space to talk about what's going on in your life and gives you the opportunity to learn to new tools so you can successfully deal with what you're experiencing. It's easy to get trapped in unhealthy, unproductive patterns when you aren't where you thought you'd be in life...I can help you shift into a more healthy place."

"Dr. Lance has 34 years of experience in the field. His graduate degrees are in counseling/marriage and family therapy and psychology. He also has an undergraduate degree in Religion. His major focus is in helping individuals and couples work through life-limiting patterns and blocks to greater happiness and fulfillment. It takes courage to look at our relationships and ourselves openly and honestly. Many of us avoid our emotional symptoms (anxiety, relationship problems, compulsions, etc.) hoping they will just go away. We often need someone to help us work through the patterns that we are unaware of in our lives."
