"I welcome your rough edges, tender places, inner wisdom, and the search for more fulfillment. Together, we will invite self-compassion and acceptance around what is already happening, while also creating ways to experience more satisfying ways of treating yourself, being with others, and inhabiting your life. My clients include people who experience depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and shame, creative folks who are stalled at manifesting their potential, gentle souls who find it hard to navigate in a frenetic world, people who want to establish fresh relationship patterns, and those who are recovering their balance amidst life transitions."

"I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to foster an understanding of their own mental health and create insight into what is needed in order to build healthy, personalized approaches to self-care, coping, and communication. Building this type of self-awareness and reaching the point of implementing these skills is often daunting, so connecting with a therapist to support you in processing through these experiences will help lead to genuine change. My focus is to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism, as well as couples that have difficulty establishing effective communication patterns."

"My clients are people who want more enjoyment and intimate connection in their lives. Many of my clients struggle to maintain relationships, or in feeling close to those they love. They may have a history of abuse or neglect (emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual), or were raised in homes where boundaries, roles, and expectations were confusing or even frightening. As a result they find themselves "on the outside," feeling unseen, anxious, resentful, and isolated, even with people they love. Experiencing the safety of being deeply known and deeply loved is their greatest longing, and my greatest joy to help them attain."

"I CURRENTLY HAVE A WAITING LIST UNTIL NOVEMBER 2019. Do you want to implement change in your life but are unsure how? Have you been avoiding these changes or are afraid to address them? I will collaborate with you by assisting you in identify patterns which are no longer serving you. I will encourage you to be kind, loving and compassionate towards yourself. Working from an empathic-based perspective, I will teach you to nurture yourself by using the tools of creative arts therapy, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, visualization, acupressure and EFT tapping to help find your strengths."

"I enjoy working with clients who feel that their minds have become unmanageable. This experience often arises from a belief that inner conflict and complexity is a problem to be solved rather than a state of affairs to be understood and befriended. Sometimes this unmanageability shows up as anxiety, where the mind dreads bad outcomes and wont allow you to enjoy your life. Other times as depression, where the mind is mired in hopelessness, despair, or resentment. Addictions of various sorts can also arise from this state of affairs, whereby we try to distract or quiet our minds through destructive patterns of behavior. "

"Starting therapy can be daunting, so I encourage you to reach out, even if you're uncertain where to start. I've witnessed profound impacts in my work with people, where shame becomes self acceptance and overwhelm becomes relief and ease. I welcome everyone who wants to work with me, and especially welcome those who may not have felt comfortable in therapy before, possibly due to experiencing marginality, societal oppression, or being shy. I also tend to work well with over achievers, sensitive introverts, and perfectionists struggling to find a stable sense of self worth. My practice is anti oppression and trauma informed."

"Do you often feel misunderstood and hurt? Do you feel as though your emotions are controlling you and you don’t know what to do to change that? Does it leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious and depressed? I know what that feels like and I can help you develop the skills to effectively cope and regulate your emotions and help you identify and communicate your emotions, needs and boundaries to others so you can be heard and get your needs met. "

"What's your greatest fear? Where does it hurt the most? These two questions plague us all at one time or another. Is fear holding you back from experiencing life as you've always dreamed it could be? Is the hurt of painful memories, difficult circumstances, or impossible relationships keeping you from truly becoming the person you are meant to be? There is hope. And there is healing. I'm here to partner with you, as together, we navigate those fears and hurts that have kept you from truly living a life of freedom and victory!"

"As a licensed psychologist, I love helping people experience more satisfaction in their relationships. I also enjoy coaching people in ways to effectively resolve personal concerns. In general, I endeavor to help people experience more hope, peace, and joy in their lives. People are often seeking ways to resolve persistent depression, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Some wonder if trust can be restored after betrayal, or if their marriage can be saved. Couples desire to improve intimacy and to experience a more meaningful sense of connection. People also see me to improve parenting skills or address employment related concerns."

"Perhaps you are struggling with difficult patterns or beliefs, you are experiencing depression, anxiety or a general dissatisfaction with your current life. Maybe you are tired of playing small and recognize that you have better things to do than survive. It is my passion and honor to hold space and serve those who are on their journey of personal growth and development. My interest is in deep authentic relational work, as it is my belief that we are at our best when we feel whole and connected."

"My focus is on helping couples overcome destructive cycles and to re-establish safety, care, and trust. Many couples get stuck in a pattern of conflict and avoidance, of blame and defensiveness. Each of you is looking for safety and comfort, but in opposite ways, and the way you're seeking it is the very thing that triggers your partner. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the most well-researched and effective treatment for couples in distress. The vast majority of couples recover from their distress, heal from their wounds, and reconnect with the love that brought you together in the first place."

"Welcome! I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and walking alongside them in their healing. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between the family and therapist, that each client has the resiliency and resources they need already within, and that it is our job to uncover them. My work with clients considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing relational distress, sex concerns, infertility/pregnancy issues, transracial/transnational family dynamics, processing trauma, religion and spirituality, body-image concerns, or low self esteem. "

"My personal style in therapy is optimistic and playful. My approach is eclectic, with a combination of focus towards theory based interventions balanced with intuition and spontaneity. I deeply value the power of human connection in the healing process and therapy as a collaborative process. I strive for inclusiveness and cultural competency in my work and am deeply committed to social justice. I help my clients explore meaning, past trauma, stressful life events, transitions, and identifying resources to help them feel empowered and hopeful. I have practiced therapy with children, families, couples and adults since 2009. "

"My approach to counseling strives to take into account the whole person: internal and external strengths, as well as internal and external brokenness. I believe counseling is a unique experience where strengths are activated and brokenness healed -- as a result, clients commonly experience relief, clarity, and renewed purpose. My style of counseling is warm and engaging. It is also focused. From the first session to the last, I use evidenced-based tools to track both the quality of our relationship as well as progress towards your goals. This keeps us on track until you've received the help you came for. "

"Psychotherapy is often described as ‘the treatment of mental disorders,’ but that is only one of many reasons a person may seek services. Psychologists have the unique knowledge & expertise to draw connections between past relational patterns, individual brain chemistry, heritability of symptoms, emotional awareness, & thought processes/behaviors that perpetuate impairments in functioning. Psychotherapy isn’t a matter of asking a question & receiving advice - but rather learning the skills to make sense of life & building the confidence to take control of it."

"By visiting this website, you most likely are facing transitions in your life and are aware that you need help. By doing so, you have walked half the way for healing. If you are feeling depressed and stuck, living with anxiety, phobias, traumas, or trapped in addiction to substance or behavior, or living in a turbulent relationship, please, do not be discouraged. Step forward and call for help. Your current situation is not all that you have in your life and you have a lot in your toolbox that you haven't utilized yet. Here I am; ready to help."

"I specialize in treating college-age and young professional adults with personal, spiritual, and relational concerns, from a Christian worldview. I am passionate about helping you move from a place of difficulty into one of health, confidence, and emotional wholeness, so that you can thrive in your life and in your relationships, and succeed in the goals you've set for yourself. Particular issues I work with include depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, shame, guilt, abuse recovery, suicidal thoughts, conflict, forgiveness, body image issues, and family issues. I would love to meet with you!"

"You’re feeling stuck. Racing jumbled thoughts, worry, feeling out of control, and maybe even panic attacks are all starting to pile up. Or maybe you have self-doubt and a sense of hopelessness because things are not the way you want them to be even though you’ve tried everything you can think of to make things better, but it’s not working. Why isn’t it resolved yet? Bottom line is, every now and then you need support from someone who has the knowledge, training, and personal experience to help you with something like this. "

"Much of my practice is built around working with teenage boys and their families. I also work with adult individuals. Adolescence can be a challenging stage of life for families, yet, it's also a developmental phase filled with wonderful, inspiring change. I enjoy helping teens and families navigate the changes of adolescence, while working to engage parents around their teenager's change process. My typical clients are teens/families who are struggling with adapting to the shifting roles and responsibilities of the adolescent life stage. I also see adults who are presenting with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues."

"Unhappy at work, have unsatisfying relationships, feel burned out or stressed out? Maybe you're feeling stuck, somewhat anxious or depressed--know there's a better way? Dealing with serious health issues? Don't know how you're going to get through life's new twist? Often, our problems are the little "instigators," our opportunities for creating change. Usually, that first email or call, deciding to begin, means you're halfway there. You've prepared. Now's the time for a skilled, supportive hand to walk with you. I've had 20+ years experience helping individuals and couples, calmly, with insight, to find their own best solutions."
