"Do you feel alone, disconnected, or misunderstood in your marriage or your other relationships ? These feelings are absolutely normal for almost every person at some time in their lives. Fortunately you can do something about it. Clients come to me because something in their lives is not working as they would wish and they feel stuck."

"When I reflect upon the healing powers of therapy, one word comes to mind - freedom. Perhaps therapy may provide an opportunity to liberate you from the shackles of emotional pain by re-discovering vital parts of yourself that have remained hidden for too long. Perhaps it may be a means to clear a path between where you are and where you want to be. With my warm, compassionate approach, I will create a space for you that is all your own, tailored to you or your teen's unique struggles and needs."

"I view psychotherapy as a collaborative approach between the client and the therapist, where we work together on your therapeutic goals as well as help reach greater awareness and personal growth. I work with individuals, families, and couples with many presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, relational issues, and life transitions/challenges. My approach to therapy integrates aspects of psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness."

"Looking for the right therapist for you can be the start of something great, but it can also feel a little overwhelming. At the heart of my practice is your comfort. When you begin talking with someone who really listens, wants to understand your point of view, and wants to not only help you, but learn from you, real growth can begin to happen. Sometimes old patterns and the things we have been through can make us feel stuck. I'm here to help you get unstuck and get where you want to be."

"One of the strongest choices you can make is to ask for help when you really need it. Connecting with an objective, non-judgmental person can help you from feeling stuck as you find answers to questions like: How do I deal with a complicated relationship? What is my true calling? How do I navigate my way through anxiety, stress, depression and addiction? Why do I keep making the same old choices? What do I need to do to feel better? Therapy is a profound step in creating the clarity you're seeking to lead a more stable, sustainable life."

""My strength is counseling children, teens and young adults who deal with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I believe in helping individuals and families heal from trauma and gain better communication skills." In working with my clients they maybe faced with relationship problems, substance abuse, child abuse, bullying, challenges with time management, and other stressors. My passion is to help people increase their self awareness, self-esteem and ability to use healthy coping strategies. I have an integrative therapeutic approach, but I am strong in using strength based and cognitive behavior therapy to help my clients obtain their goals."

"Career Counseling, Depression/Anxiety are primary specializations. I believe the client is his/her own best therapist and already possesses the necessary wisdom for healing to begin. I can facilitate this process by providing a safe, non-intrusive, supportive environment. I prefer to acknowledge, build and reinforce the client's strengths rather than focus on old negative beliefs. 25+ years experience. "

"Life does not come with an instruction manual. I believe that sometimes we just need a safe place where we can share and be heard until we're able to assemble our thoughts and put the pieces together. I provide a client centered environment, offering empathy, a non-judgmental, reassuring hopeful atmosphere. I work together with my clients to support and establish their goals so that they will ultimately discover and develop their inner strengths."

"I strongly believe in providing my clients with a comfortable and supportive atmosphere to assist in overcoming obstacles of daily life.

"Are you having life or work related stress and anxiety that is debilitating? Are you stuck and cannot seem to move in a positive direction that gives you fulfillment? This is probably not the way you expected your life to be. Together we will look at patterns of communication that may have contributed to your present life concerns. Attachment Relational Therapy, which I practice, is an approach that helps you to tackle difficult problems in a safe environment so that you can gain the peace of mind that you are striving for."

"I provide my clients with a safe and professional environment in which to explore areas of concern, difficulty, and strength. It is my belief that there are times in life when we feel stuck, or are experiencing suffering, and need support in order to move through and/or change patterns that are no longer of use. Sometimes it is necessary to access guidance from a professional outside of the current situation in order to assist in gaining perspective. Through this collaboration, it is possible to gain insight and awareness that allows one to move forward with awareness and options."
