"I work with individuals and couples from a compassionate, non-judgemental, client-centered perspective. 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."

"I work with a variety of clients but have worked specifically with the following issues specifically: anxiety, depression, divorce, academic stress, relationship issues, victims of domestic violence, victims of sexual abuse, sex addictions, sexual issues, body image issues, families, couples, and more. Specialty areas include sex therapy, anxiety, and women's issues."

"I am incredibly passionate about psychotherapy, and not only that, I believe in it with all my heart. I value the individuality of each and every one of my clients, and I believe the relationship we form is the basis for real change and growth. 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."

"Psychotherapy can be a challenging and rewarding process. People often come to treatment to talk about what's wrong, but it is also important to talk about what's right. Each person has natural areas of strength we can capitalize on to increase coping skills, reduce distress, improve relationships, and develop a more positive outlook. With a collaborative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions, we will work together to create new pathways towards well-being. My integrative orientation uses psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and strength-based techniques to increase self-acceptance, flexibility, adaptability, and to improve your overall quality-of-life."

"My goal is to help you change and create the life you desire. In my practice with individuals, couples and families, I'll work together with you to identify the problem and work towards the solution. By applying creative therapeutic approaches and techniques, we'll discover unhelpful behavior patterns or negative thoughts that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am able to integrate powerful techniques in treating couples. I completed Levels 1&2 Gottman training in assessment and intervention with couples."

"Is there a habitual behavior, thought cycle, or relationship pattern that is getting in the way? Ready to work through these and focus on a more fulfilling life? I offer a non-judgemental approach and individualize our work together with you. Therapy is a unique experience where you get to spend the entire time focusing on yourself. Why continue to repeat the same, painful cycle when you can practice change, growth and authenticity?"

"At times, experiencing painful feelings, having difficulty managing stressful or unexpected situations, life transitions, and/or dealing with relationship conflicts, whether romantic or not, may hinder us from feeling happy, capable, and empowered to live our lives to the fullest. During these times, the support and the guidance of a caring professional can make a difference."

"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."

"I love my work and am known for my unique inspirational style. I have studied both Eastern and Western philosophies and teachings. I have traveled the globe to meet with many of the world's most renowned teachers, swamis, avatars and healers and have integrated their varied processes and techniques into my own synergistic and unique approach. I customize the work 100% to meet you where you are. My work moves you in a positive direction that leads you to a place inside where you are confident and happy."

"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 believe there can be value in understanding 'how' and 'why' we have become a certain way and continue patterns that do not serve us; however, once we have figured that out, I like to get right to removing obstacles and having the life that you want."

"Welcome to my Psychology Today page and thank you for your interest. Most of us need help at some point in our lives. It's not always best to stuggle alone. I can help. My sessions take advantage of the fact that our brains are plastic and can change patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. How do I know this? For twenty years I have helped clients allieviate depression, grief, anxiety and stress, worked through relationship problems, and identified and stopped self-destructive patterns and situations that disrupt daily life."

"Sit down with a good psychotherapist, and it can change your life. It changed mine. Maybe you are struggling with a seemingly unsolvable problem or repeating pattern of behavior. You're not where you want to be in life or in work, you don't feel the way you want to feel, your relationships are troubled, or something seems to undermine your efforts. I work with people who feel stuck--sad, isolated, frightened, anxious, angry, confused, disconnected, hopeless, unlovable. Sometimes you just need a hand finding the doorway to a better life."

"For over twenty years working as a licensed psychotherapist, I have been listening to life stories of many incredible people. Courageous stories that involve depression, fear, loneliness, break ups, addictions, coming out, trauma, 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.
