"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and at heart, a Healer. I believe healing involves the mind, body, and spirit and that through this connection, we can let go of limiting, false beliefs about ourselves. In this integration of Traditional Psychotherapy with Healing and Wellness, we are learning to nourish the deepest and most intimate relationship there is, the relationship with the self. When we come from this place of self-awareness, we can have truly satisfying relationships with others because we know who we are and how to feel fulfilled sharing ourselves in our world."

"I help people who are heartbroken, recovering from lost love and grieving. I work with people across the gender and sexuality spectrum (LGBTQ) and have an affinity for artists and creative individuals. I often laugh with my patients and firmly believe that humor is integral to healing."

"ATTENTION FAMILIES AND COUPLES: Are you and your partner struggling with communication? Do you find that you argue about things that are seemingly insignificant?

I believe that the unique rapport that develops between client and therapist is one of the major components of emotional and psychological healing. My approach is highly collaborative in that we work together to identify problems and creatively find solutions that work for you. I specialize in relationship issues with individuals as well as couples; depression; anxiety; issues of self-esteem; sexual identity and coming out; and LGBT issues. I also have extensive experience and training with families dealing with Alzheimer's disease."

"Yes, it's stressful and complicated out there - but you don't have to figure life out all by yourself: Your logging on today demonstrates you know this. Struggling alone to overcome emotional issues, relationship challenges, and career complications just doesn't work. I founded The Mental Gym to increase people's well-being through teamwork.

"For over twenty years as a licensed psychotherapist, I have been listening to life stories of many incredible people. Courageous stories that involve break ups, addiction, coming out, trauma, discrimination, HIV/AIDS, loss, and betrayal. People who come to me are brave storytellers. It is a privilege to hear a personal mythology that has never been shared before. Often people report feeling more alive when they share their personal narratives in our safe therapeutic space. Insights, somatic awareness, and shifts of perspective can result when we work together."

"I work from the belief that the answers are already within you, waiting to be unlocked. My role as your therapist is to help you remove psychological blocks that hinder you from fully becoming who you are meant to be. We will work together to explore and move past these blocks in an open, trusting, and non-judgmental way. The ultimate goal being a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and well being in your life."

"I have experience working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal/relationship difficulties, and post-trauma related symptoms as well as people struggling with coming out, questioning their sexual/gender identity, or other issues connected with the unique experiences of being LGBTQQIAPK+ in our society. I am also trained in EMDR, a therapeutic approach that helps to effectively alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories."

"It takes a lot of strength to honestly assess your current situation, to confront certain truths, and to commit to making needed changes in your life. If you are ready to start making those changes, you may be wondering what to expect in the therapeutic process.

The outcome depends largely on commitment while silencing the harsh internal critic that many people have."

I am committed to understanding my clients very deeply, and in helping them understand themselves. In addition to gaining insight and awareness, I encourage clients to utilize skills and implement change to help them live life to their fullest. I give 100% of my effort, attention, and focus on my clients to provide the best care needed."

"I specialize in working with gay individuals and couples. As a gay child growing up in the midwest, I endured years of bullying, ridicule, and humiliation. As an adult, my work with a good therapist was key in helping me to re-cast my self image, accept and value myself for who I am, and transform the way that I interface with the world at large. So profound was this work that it moved me to become a psychotherapist myself. Whether you are a young person trying to cope with isolation or various forms of abuse,"

"The reasons why people choose to go to therapy are numerous. From recent life stressors to long-term struggles with addiction, anxiety or depression, therapy can be a way to increase adaptability, happiness, coping, and overall quality of life. For some, therapy is about treating an identified problem, while others focus on personal growth and general well-being. Either way, therapy can be an important catalyst for positive change."

"My client population consists mainly of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals struggling with trauma. I address challenges particular to women's issues, LGBTQ+ & Gender Identity concerns, negative self image, anxiety, and depression. We work through these dilemmas through purposeful and compassionate self care, empowering talk therapy, mindfulness techniques, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a process that can help to heal the effects of trauma)."

"I understand how difficult it is to feel anxious, sad, or depressed, and how those feelings can impact the relationships in your life. You do not have to face these challenges alone. My work as a therapist centers on providing empathy, understanding, and a safe place where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will process how the experiences and relationships in your life have affected your mood, your happiness, the way you communicate with others, and more importantly, the way you view yourself."
