Are you a person who is experiencing a disability or chronic illness and feel your needs are not met in most care settings? Are you pregnant or just had a baby and need extra support? Are you the parent of a disabled child and the child, a sibling or you need extra support for the child to grow and reach her or his full potential? Are you a creative type and need help to focus and be productive in your creative work? Are you the parent of a gifted child and need extra help raising this child or is the child in need of services due to trouble at home or school?Are you a spiritual seeker and need to talk about unusual experiences?

Are you experiencing fear, loneliness, anger, grief, chronic illness, or pain? Maybe you're transitioning or feeling un-rooted, on an edge, lost, anxious, and/or addicted? Our identities and perspectives are informed by how we relate to and make sense of these, and our other human, experiences. Knowledge of that we call 'self' is a continual and creative process, and includes integration of the unconscious - the parts of the psyche yet unknown to us. I help clients find focus and relax preconceived notions of how growth and healing occurs. This allows one to learn from their symptoms in order to ease suffering - to hold paradox.

I am accepting new clients! I work in partnership with clients and together identify your goals for therapy. Most importantly, we will identify your strengths; explore what is working well and establish what you want to be different in your life. We will cultivate a plan to accomplish the goals that you set forth for positive change. I define my principal approach to counseling as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness based, Positive Psychology, Trauma Informed, Client-centered, Narrative (Talk) Therapy, while I also enjoy the practical nature of Brief, Solution-Focused Therapy.

Hi, and welcome to my telehealth practice! My ideal client is someone who is motivated to make changes they feel are necessary to improve their quality of life.

I see each person as whole just as they are, and as a partner with me in the therapy process. You can expect to be treated with respect, compassion and empathy, and without judgement or criticism. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2006.

I am a bilingual, licensed psychotherapist with 28 years of experience. My training includes graduating from programs in the USA, Mexico and Argentina.

I am also a cancer survivor who has successfully dealt with these issues in my life.

Is it time for you to feel free from stress and anxiety? Is it time to make changes to old patterns that no longer serve you? Hypnosis is a transformative process where the therapist and participant work collaboratively to achieve the desired outcome. The therapist helps the person tap into inner resources and strengths that can aid in the healing process. The expectancy of the outcome is important and both parties work together to help reach desired results. The sessions are recorded for the participants to listen to and practice on their own.

Are you a person that is creative, expressive, and interested in more out of therapy than simply talking through things? I am an "outside of the box" therapist combining body based, creative, mindful practices in session, tailoring an individual and unique approach to fit your needs. I work to create an emotionally safe environment, free of judgment, supporting your strengths & helping you develop insight, understanding, & strategies to support you as you move through therapy.

Hello! Welcome. I work with teens and adults, and couples. My main focus has become helping people with Complex and Developmental Trauma. I am very comfortable with complicated family systems. I am very respectful of each person's uniqueness. I am quite open and do not have an agenda with clients.

Your eldering can and should be vibrant and happy. For a long time, we believed development stopped when an individual entered adulthood. This is far from true. Not all the transitions of middle and later life are easy or welcome. No one has to feel depressed, alone, bored, isolated and forgotten. I support individuals, couples, families and caregivers as they navigate the important transitions of later life. Later life is a time of dynamic personal change and growth.

I've been involved in the social service/mental health field since 07. My experience and career of assisting other ranges from working at a homeless shelter to incarcerated youth to Adult Inpatient Psych to One on one/Group General Mental Health concerns. Many of client concerns that I have assisted range from past/present trauma events, distorted view of self, and substance abuse and life transitions and cognitive distortions and depressed/anxious mood and etc. All with the goal of seeking some form of peace and balance in their lives.

I believe that meaningful therapy is possible when you feel deeply heard, understood, and appreciated while you are experiencing challenges that may seem overwhelming. Your unique story is important to me and we can work together to try and make sense of it. I take time to listen and learn what is most helpful for your growth and well-being. This includes hearing about your strengths as well as your struggles. You are encouraged to share your ideas about what you hope to accomplish as we create goals together.

Want to live with a greater capacity for joy, wholeness, and satisfaction? You might be wanting to reach out to someone, to improve your relationship, to make some changes, or to experience relief from what you're going through or what you've been feeling lately. That's healthy, and this is a great place to start. Welcome. Let's talk.

Whether you are dealing with relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD (trauma) or addictions, I’m here to help! I believe that we all do much better when we have positive support and accountability to help us overcome our fears and live our best lives.

You are overwhelmed. It's hard to remember when you felt pleasure on a regular basis. You don't know where to start. The strategies that used to work don't any longer. You might have friends, but this feels like too much of a burden for friends. And Maybe there is shame or anger? You are out looking for yourself, actually-and this is great, honorable work (although it can feel excruciating). I will help you find that starting place. I will be the the witness. I will share my opinions, but it will be your life and wants that guide the process.

Making the decision to find a counselor can be hard. You may have tried fixing the problem on your own multiple times without success. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction, or managing life's ups and downs and you are ready for a change, therapy can help. I am a trained professional who provides support, guidance, and evidenced based treatment strategies that can help you develop effective strategies toward finding solutions and relief from your problems. If you are ready to put in the work to make the changes you desire, reach out to me and we can discuss options.

Most people just want to be heard. They want to know that someone is listening to them and someone cares. Further, most of us contain the answers to our questions. We simply need someone to support us and remind us of our great worth and value. Within this environment of support we are able to discover within ourselves what we have been lacking, where we are in need and what will improve our lives. You are capable, you can do this! I wish to congratulate you on coming this far, you are not alone and there is not something “wrong” with you. Actually, there are some great attributes within or you would not have had the courage.
