"I love my work as a couples' counselor. I'm a Gottman Seven Principles Program Educator. I have over 20 years experience doing individual and couples therapy, and 15 years in private practice. I help couples improve communication, rekindle intimacy and improve awareness of patterns which may result in defensiveness, or feeling "not heard" by your partner. In individual therapy, I create a warm environment where my clients feel comfortable to discuss their issues. Together we develop goals & strategies for cultivating positive changes. In couples work, we address problematic communication to change those patterns from ineffective to effective habits & behaviors."

"You are a self aware, intelligent, generally high functioning person going through a period of unrest, confusion, transition, or other uncomfortable life experience. You know you'll make it through, but are seeking a skilled, compassionate ally to ease and speed the process. Maybe you've tried coaching or therapy before, but were frustrated by a lack of action, assertiveness, empathy, or engagement by the practitioner. Your family history isn't necessarily short on trauma, nevertheless you survived and even thrived. You sense that if you could just understand it all better life would improve, personally and professionally."

"My areas of expertise include depression, relationship problems, difficulties managing emotions, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, adolescent issues, ADHD, loss, and family of origin issues. I also enjoy helping individuals with identity development issues, including those related to culture, gender, sexuality, and important life transitions."

"Everyone who walks into a therapy office has their own unique life experiences and story. Telling our story gives us the power to have a better understanding of ourselves, it allows each of us to see our lives in a different way - to see new possibilities. In our work, we learn about our resiliency to life's challenges, acceptance and value of seeing new paths. And we learn to practice the art of balancing our beliefs, emotions and spiritual yearnings to create a life full of healthy relationships and meaningful life experiences."

"Much of what stands in the way of growth is our own self-judgment. We are all imperfect and our greatest hope for growth, contentment and fulfilling connection to others, comes through recognizing this truth and accepting the natural ebb and flow of emotion and circumstance. My job as your counselor is to help you figure out your goals, learn how your old habits and coping strategies no longer serve you, and help you access your inner wisdom."

"Our lives are filled with complexities, which result in various blockages to fulfilling our potentials. My work primarily focuses on liberating what is oppressed within someone's life. When we become more freed up, this eventually results in a greater sense of well being, and we experience more satisfying connections with others. Through gaining insight into our patterns, and our ways of relating to ourselves and others, we find more choices available in what we do on a daily basis, as well as when we consider the larger picture of our life's path."

"I assist couples and adults with relationship difficulties, parenting, personal and professional life transitions, stress reduction, anxiety/depression, and grief. I use a combination of Mindfulness and Relational therapies because they support my belief that satisfying relationships within our self and with those we love provides the basis for a meaningful life. When our sense of connectedness to others is absent or threatened, life can feel very unsatisfactory. The effectiveness of Mindfulness based therapy is also supported by a large and growing body of scientific evidence."

"Welcome to my psychotherapy practice, helping individuals, families and couples develop healthy, productive, and satisfying lives and relationships.

In addition, I have extensive experience and training providing family therapy to effectively resolve relational, developmental and parenting problems."

"If you desire results, welcome. I am currently taking private pay persons, as all insurance spots are currently taken. I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection and/or balance in their lives. I help them find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how these desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self esteem, etc. I also explore how these impacts their body, and explore together with the changes and skills to build a healthier life.

As you explore what therapy has to offer you, more clarity emerges that you are embarking on a journey into your inner life. In therapy, you will have a chance to examine the issues you face and learn new tools and skills to deepen your mind-body connection"

"Are you curious about how counseling can help you? I enjoy working with people who would like to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and of the relationships in their lives. We work collaboratively to identify your priorities and therapy goals -- and to explore internal conflicts that may be getting in your way. When you feel heard and understood, you can start to discover the many unrealized facets of yourself, learn self acceptance and find clarity and purpose. Together we find meaning and direction."

"Are you anxious, depressed, having relationship issues? Are you going through a loss or life transition? Are you seeking more meaning in your life? Would you like someone who understands these issues, is honest and caring in the context of helping you move forward? Do you desire someone who has done their own emotional work & will honor your struggle while helping? Do you want to feel valued, safe and understood? Do you need someone to push you a bit into what you know you can do? Is it important someone listens and builds trust with you? Should someone see your strengths & potential solutions? Is spirituality an important aspect of your life? I bring a holistic approach, both practical & spiritual which includes emotions, thoughts, behavior. I utilize a variety of techniques. I offer the healing relationship described above. I can help you live more deeply and fully. Our "problems" can be guides that lead to greater health & a richer life."

"You can change how you feel about yourself, gain control over your symptoms, and live with a greater sense of ease in 3 to 5 sessions. In one session, you will know if this therapy can help you, and it's very likely that it will. This is a new therapy, similar to EMDR. It is now used by the Veteran's Administration to treat PTSD in about 4 sessions. Studies show this therapy can transform negative emotions, significantly reduce or eliminate anxiety, irritability, compulsive behaviors, and enhance confidence and self-awareness. It is as remarkable as it sounds."

"I offer respectful, sincere, compassionate therapy in a safe environment. Therapy gives you that time and space for one on one support in a private setting which can be so helpful when things get overwhelming. I will actively listen and collaborate with you on increasing insight while fostering empowerment and identifying tools for change."

"People typically come to see me because they are experiencing psychological distress and/or interpersonal difficulties. The in-depth look at these issues not only leads to symptom relief but to longterm change of dysfunctional and painful( sometimes unconscious) ways we may perceive and judge ourselves. I enjoy being a psychotherapist in part because it is satisfying and exciting to see people become more insightful, effective and confident in each of the important areas of their lives. I have been doing this work for 35+ years and plan to continue for many years."

"Greetings. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in geropsychology and neuropsychology. I primarily complete neuropsychological assessments to give patients and doctors information about brain functioning (memory, decision making, etc). OPAL, an institute for Passionate Aging and Living, is the organization through which I help people embrace and optimize their aging experience. I work with patients to use brain, emotional, and social strengths and resources to work around areas of weakness or problems."

"My desire in working with individuals is to draw out their strengths and support the cultivation of their inner guide. Everyone is on a journey of personal and spiritual development; making meaning of their lives and experiences. I consider people to be the experts in their lives, who, when supported, are able to follow their natural drive for self-actualization. All human experiences are a valuable part of the process of self-emergence. Even the greatest challenges can offer insight and fuel for a path forward. People are neither sick nor well. Rather, we are all in process, with personal depths that want for exploration."
