If you're feeling the weight of life's challenges, experiencing a general sense of dissatisfaction or struggling to find a balance in your life, I'd like to offer my support. Creating a time and space to focus on you is a great first step to increasing satisfaction and happiness. With a holistic based training, I will work with you to see with new perspectives and new possibilities. Everyone's path in life is unique, and together we can explore what is right for you, to improve your connections both with others and with yourself.

Do you feel a lack of meaning in your life? Do you feel fragmented, lonely, or disconnected? Are you overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, grief, or past experiences? We get stuck sometimes. These things can make us feel isolated and hopeless. Therapy is a process in which we can begin to feel relief from that despair and move towards wholeness and connection. Evidence shows that therapy can help to bring about more peace, joy, and functioning to your life - long lasting change that can improve your well-being.

If you or someone you care about are going through a difficult time and need help, guidance, and support, or feeling anxious, stuck, depressed, confused or lost, then give me a call. It is not always easy to ask for help and for what you need, particularly when you don't know the therapist and at times don't know what you need or can't put it into words. It takes courage and strength to make this first step and reach out to ask for help. I am a licensed, seasoned, compassionate psychotherapist, and I would be honored to work with you, so you don't have to do it all alone.

"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination" - Carl Rogers. As a therapist, I believe in helping clients find (or rediscover) their direction in living the life that best suits them. I also believe that one of the most important factors in therapy is the goodness of "fit" between therapist and client. Through the therapeutic process, I work towards helping clients learn insights about their life, which in turn help them to make better choices and find more overall satisfaction in their life.

I work closely with my clients to develop healthy relationships with others, realize their potential and lead a fulfilled life. My compassionate approach creates a safe and welcoming environment -- for teens and adults -- where positive change occurs. I believe in empowering my clients by encouraging them to take an active role in establishing goals that are attainable yet demonstrate progress.

I see children, individuals, and couples dealing with a broad range of issues such as personal growth struggles in adulthood, marital/relationship discord, behavioral challenges in children/adolescents, parenting/discipline issues, stress, depression, and anxiety. I am clinically trained to work with victims of crime around trauma as well as to facilitate The Work of Byron Katie.

Life happens. Everything is running smoothly in our lives and then something occurs that throws us off balance: a relationship breakup, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, divorce, or a trauma. Instead of a single event, it can also be the buildup of stress or the accumulation of various events that have occurred. Sometimes we just want to learn more about ourselves. It can even be a wound from our past from which we have difficulty healing. All of us experience obstacles in our lives that can become overwhelming.

Therapy offers a safe support system as you navigate some of life's more difficult challenges. Are you seeking therapy for problems including relationship issues, trauma, depression/anxiety, grief over any type of loss, chronic illness, divorce, retirement or even facing mortality? As your therapist, I will help you process events and relationships, both current and past, that influence your current challenges. Therapy is a collaborative effort and not a quick fix. Along with empathy, I offer a safe and supportive environment to discuss your concerns and take progressive steps toward adaptation and acceptance to enhance your life.

**As of 3/1/2021 my practice is full and closed to new clients.** Are you a chronic "people pleaser," feeling stuck in your relationships, or just wishing that things in your life could be different? I help adults feel more in control of their thoughts, feelings, and moods so they can achieve their personal and professional goals. I'll help you find new ways of understanding and coping to get you feeling better and more able to handle life's ups and downs. No matter if your stresses are recent or longstanding, together we will work on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you are free to live a more fulfilling life.

Let’s talk about sex and relationships! I am here to help you feel comfortable working through the hard stuff, and sex and relationship issues can be some of the hardest stuff for people to talk about. Together, we’ll create a comfortable, judgment-free space to explore your wants and needs, improve communication with others in your life, and promote intimate, meaningful, and healthy (sexual) relationships. My aim is to help you, and any potentially involved partner(s), to reach your full personal, relationship, and sexual potential in order to lead your happiest and most fulfilling life.

Relationships and the Quality of your Life will not just improve on their own. People continue doing the same things and, interestingly, expect different results. Just look around and see how many people are really unhappy in their lives, have given up on their dreams, and have settled for a routine day by day existence. You need effective solutions that are actually DIFFERENT than anything you have ever tried. For about 19 years, I have successfully helped hundreds of my consultees to improve the quality of their lives and relationships, achieve their goals and happily live their Dream Lives.

We all have moments when we struggle with emotions and stressors that seem overwhelming at the time and take us away from enjoying all that life has to offer. Utilizing my more than 20 years of experience and training, I will work hand in hand with you to understand and address the problems that have prompted you to seek help. I create a safe and non-judgmental environment to support you or your family as together we discover a path for your healing, growth and change.

I have many years of experience in providing psychotherapy to teens, adults, couples and families. With Couples, treatment issues may include pre-marital or marital concerns such as unhealthy or difficult communication, infidelity, trust, conflict around equality, in-laws, finances and intimacy. With individual adults, my specialities include depression, grief and loss, stress/anxiety, trauma, and life transitions (work, family or self related). With teens, my experience encompasses delinquent behaviors, trauma, substance abuse, self-harm, depression, ADHD, OCD, identity issues, school problems and parent-child conflict.

When people make a choice to utilize therapy to change their lives, I believe there is no greater gift they can give themselves. I am so lucky to have made helping people change their lives into my full time career.

Are you relying on unhealthy habits to cope with stress, anxiety, depression or life's challenges? Is it time to make some changes in your life but you feel stuck and don't know where to begin? Are you tired of feeling lonely, empty, sad or misunderstood? Do you struggle with allowing yourself to feel vulnerable with others? Does a healthy work-life balance seem impossible for you? If any of these questions ring true for you, some support might be just what you need.

The Beginning of Wisdom is Self Awareness." This simple statement is a lifelong process, and central to the work I do as a psychotherapist. Taking the time and space to know ourselves can be exhilarating, but it can be daunting and sometimes terrifying when done alone. Working with another person through the complexities of our lives makes this endeavor richer and much more satisfying. My work with clients is intended to be a shared, collaborative experience.

Pick me! Pick me! Hi, I'm Adrian. I absolutely love this work and, with 25 plus years of experience, I am still energized by it. Many of my clients tried just about everything before deciding that therapy was their best solution. Making changes in our lives and getting clear on what we need to change can be very difficult. Psychotherapy can help you let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working for you. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive change and a life worth celebrating!

My focus is to help families and couples who are struggling with difficult life transitions, trauma and depression find renewed hope in life. 

If you are looking for a therapist, you have an important decision to make. Therapy is a good choice for you if you are dealing with a long-standing psychological struggle, have concerns about your child's behavior, or are dealing with a difficult life event such as trauma, divorce, or conflict in a relationship. I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and children. My clients commonly seek my services to deal with anxiety, depression, stress management, family conflicts, trauma, ADHD, Autism and Aspergers, addiction and general life transitions.
