"I know that the right therapist "fit" can make a huge difference in an individual's, couple's, or family's life. I don't believe that anyone recovers alone, nor that one therapist (all by him or herself) is enough to bring about change. We can accomplish growth and change with openness, insight, and the companionship of others also on the journey. Those folks may be found in 12 Step groups, DBT, spiritual communities, in our families or chance and choice. "

"Our lives are full of twists and turns with outcomes that we don't always expect. Therapy can be a very useful tool that allows us to hit the reset button and to develop greater insight into how we got off course. I enjoy helping people as they deal with these problems and with life's other stressors; working side-by-side to develop a plan and to implement coping skills that help their lives feel more balanced."

"Can't stop worrying? Carrying around a heavy sadness? Have stressful relationships? Feel out of control or stuck in your life? I can help. In my practice I specialize in the treatment of adults dealing with anxiety, depression, adjustment to illness and relationship issues. These difficulties, along with life's everyday stressors, can greatly impact your ability to enjoy life, connect with loved ones and perform your role as mother, father, spouse, friend and employee. Through therapy you will learn behavioral strategies and emotional coping skills needed to achieve your goals, helping you to live a more fulfilled, happy life."

"I specialize in cutting-edge Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure/Response Prevention (E/RP), the first-line, recommended treatments for anxiety, OCD and mood disorders.

In treatment, we will work collaboratively and utilize strengths to provide you &/or your child with the tools needed to manage life stressors."

"Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to work toward feeling better about yourself and your relationships. In session you have the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a safe, caring, and supportive setting. I use an active approach to help you identify patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are not working and help you develop new patterns that can lead to reduced distress and improve your relationships. Many people I work with come with depression, eating disorders, anxiety and relationship or marital issues. Others come to talk about parenting concerns, family issues or adjustment to life changes and stresses."

You need tools and practices to enjoy a healthy mind-- one that is that is present, focused, responsive, and resilient. Your life is precious. Now is the time to make it the best it can be-- with positive mind states, a sense of purpose, and connection. A healthy mind is the best predictor of a happy life!"

"Anxiety is our least-welcome companion. It holds us back when we try to take a step forward. It stands in the way when we try to connect with others. It convinces us that the world is scary and the safest place is our home. Anxiety wears many masks, but the best defense is learning how to identify it when it pops into our lives and combat it with a variety of techniques you will learn in therapy. Together we can chip away at what holds you back in your life and build strong coping skills that will prepare you for a successful life ahead."

"As a therapist, my passion lies in collaboratively working with children and adults, guiding them through the therapeutic process while supporting self-reflection, insight, and understanding patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that become troublesome and ineffective. I provide a safe and unbiased environment to find a healthy and effective balance in life as daily stressors and events can be challenging and overwhelming to manage. Through individualized treatment planning, my approach is solution focused and personalized to fit the needs of each individual to effect personal change, develop healthy coping skills, and progress towards meaningful goals."

"Your desire to change your life and find better ways of coping is a strength you may not yet realize you possess. As a clinical developmental psychologist, I can help you understand your current struggles in context, as part of your developmental journey and the systems of family and relationships surrounding you. In an emotionally safe and confidential environment, I will work with you to uncover the source of your challenges and find alternate coping strategies. I believe it is important to help you identify and use the many strengths you already possess as you work through your current difficulties."

"As a psychologist, I help people explore their thoughts, feelings and relationships in a supportive environment. I enjoy collaborating with people to identify their strengths, while working to change behaviors and attitudes that are no longer effective. Often people come to therapy because they are not able to follow through with goals, even though they really want to change. It is my goal to help them understand the emotional obstacles that are keeping them "stuck," and options for making the changes they desire. I encourage clients to become more intentional in their choices and to take steps towards change."

"Throughout the journey of a woman’s life there are many emotional shifts. Do you feel alone, anxious, tired, sad, angry, irritable, or stressed? As a mother and therapist, I understand the many challenges and stress that sometimes might have you not feeling like yourself and am here to support you. I believe it takes strength to reach out for support. I can help support your needs & answer questions that often arise during the challenging phases of life. Sometimes expressing ourselves requires more than words. My therapeutic approach is wellness based & utilizes a blend of mindfulness, counseling, CBT, & expressive art therapy."

"I work best with older adolescents, adults and couples seeking a therapy relationship to count on as long as the work is helpful. I've provided brief treatment many times, but if you're in a rush, I'm probably not your ideal therapist. In 30+ years, I've come to believe that satisfaction in life and relationships depends largely on the quality of your relationship with yourself. Therapy is a process of exploring how you came to be where you are; looking at life in new ways; and risking new behaviors reflecting who you really are and what you want. Lasting change takes time."

"My approach with clients is interactive and collaborative. I provide a safe environment where individuals can explore their inner life leading to more positive choices. I work with clients to develop healthier coping skills in order to manage overwhelming emotions, learning to self-regulate and tolerate distress. I view the client as the expert in his/her journey, helping to empower clients by encouraging examination of how their past creates obstacles to happiness and personal satisfaction. "

"My clients often tell me how safe and comfortable they feel in our work together, and that is something that is extremely important to me. I dedicate myself to creating an environment of trust, acceptance, and empowerment where my clients can discuss their innermost thoughts, feelings and fears without any judgement. For 12 years I’ve worked to help my clients explore and learn healthier ways to cope with and change the parts of their lives that cause them pain or discomfort. I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and am truly dedicated toward helping people create happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives."

"I am a licensed psychologist and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I have a collaborative approach; where actively working together to deeply understand you and your issues is the first step. Working together to understand and not judge the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and experiences that are contributing to your patterns is essential. Decreasing shame, and increasing self esteem, acceptance, and compassion, are integral aspects to therapy I offer, and necessary to reducing the internal conflict which so often fuels the problems and patterns. For therapy to be effective, it calls for a very active effort on your part, as well as mine."
