"Good therapy involves the right match. I also provide a free 30 minute (in person) question and answer session (not counseling). This allows you to understand what your therapy process will look like. If we decide to work together, you will be involved in a very action oriented therapy. Our work will encourage you to practice your new skills during the week. I try to use approaches that you find helpful like: writing in a journal, reading books, support groups, and/or your spiritual practices, that may help while you are in therapy.

"Relationships can be hard. Partners struggle with communication, conflicting parenting styles, and sexual expression. Life's challenges, hurtful fights, history of trauma or infidelity, make it difficult to sustain trust and closeness. How can you create desired connections, and not lose yourself in the process? How can you be true both to self and to your partnership? I invite you to answer these questions together in the safety of my office, with empathy and curiosity replacing habitual judgments, self-deprecation, and shame. Both traditional and alternative lifestyles are welcome, and no issue is a taboo."

"I have a particular expertise in early, formative trauma and PTSD. Thus, I assist individuals and couples with working on and through the early relational harm and hardships that continue to impact or impede their current relationships and functioning. In addition, I provide care for people suffering from depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and general life stressors and challenges. I also have extensive experience working with addictions. I truly enjoy being in relationship with individuals and their families in what I believe to be sacred work, and look forward to speaking with you about entering into this process together."

"Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you often get told that you don't quite seem like your old self? Do you sometimes feel like you could be living a different life if you could overcome some of the things you are carrying with you? I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who are looking for a shift in their lives - whether in relationships, career, school or how they view themselves."

"***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** Life is a journey full of ups and downs. It doesn't come with a roadmap, and at times we all find ourselves in difficult situations. As your therapist, I will guide you and support you through these rough times by illuminating the path to healing and wholeness. In the face of life's challenges, our tendency is to cope, adapt and get by. Unfortunately some of these coping mechanisms are outdated and no longer serve us, so we go about life just "getting by". Rather than merely "surviving" you could be thriving."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? It takes courage to ask for help and commit to making significant life changes, so I commend you for taking the first step on your journey. Often my clients are struggling with limiting beliefs and old patterns of behavior that are holding them back. My approach is warm, authentic, and interactive and my goal is to support you on a path to healing and a more fulfilled life. "

"Are you experiencing a crisis? Anxious? Having problems sleeping? Not sure what to do but know something needs to be done and quick? I would like to help you feel better. Almost twenty years in private practice have provided me with a wide range of experience in stabilizing crises and developing treatment plans to meet your goals. Typically, I draw from psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral theories and work primarily with adults and adolescents. It is of the utmost importance to me to offer an emotionally safe space, where you can know with certainty that you can be yourself without fear of judgment."

""The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." ~C.C. Scott. We all go through challenges in life, and at times they can seem bigger than our ability to manage. In therapy, we can work together to cultivate the life you want through reducing the grip of depression, anxiety, and stress; healing from grief, loss, past abuse or trauma; developing effective coping skills; improving relationships; enhancing self-esteem, and building on your personal strengths. I want to help you to engage with life more fully and to support you in pursuing what you value most."

"Welcome to my practice. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or other issues impacting your ability to live your life to its fullest, I would be happy to speak with you about working together. I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My work focuses on both internal stumbling blocks to feeling better and on interpersonal problems with important people in your life. We will focus on leveraging your strengths to tackle the difficulties you are experiencing. "

"Welcome! As you’re looking at this site, you may be wondering if therapy can be helpful for you, your family, or your child. You or your teen or child may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, irritable, or losing sleep. You may be struggling to connect or experiencing conflict in relationships. Your teen or child may be feeling self-critical or anxious in social situations, struggling in school, or dealing with a transition, loss, or parents’ divorce. Together, we'll work to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression, improve relationships, and decrease negative thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors."

"I enjoy working with children, teens and adults to find, and learn to trust their unique strengths to overcome life's challenging situations, reach short- and long term goals and evolve their lives to be more meaningful. I invite clients to explore their deep values and motivations, and identify which aspects of their lives help them move forwards, and how to separate from patterns of behavior that are no longer useful. If you or you child suffer from anxiety, panic, phobias, mood issues, trauma and relationship issues don't give up. There is hope, and healing is possible."

"Are you feeling stressed? Do you want to overcome anxiety or depression? Would you like to develop healthier relationships? Are you experiencing grief and loss? Sometimes, these and other common problems of daily living can be overwhelming. My services are carefully tailored to meet your individual goals while empowering you to make positive changes in your life. Positive change doesn't have to take years. In fact, my knowledgeable and collaborative approach has successfully helped many learn and apply research-based skills designed to bring fast and lasting relief."

"It is time for you to get unstuck - feel stronger and live life in control. Do you feel hurt and betrayed by someone who was supposed to love you? If your current relationship is causing you pain or if you have escaped from abuse or violence, you are in the right place. Fear does not have to rule your every move. Together, you and I will address what has been keeping you frozen so that you can open the door to a life of possibility and begin enjoying yourself while feeling secure and confident."

"Do you experience difficulty managing conflict in your relationship? Maybe one of you has an anger problem, or you withdraw during conflict. Maybe it's time to re-light the flame. Perhaps parenting struggles, particularly with teenagers, are wearing you out. Or, you cannot agree on parenting techniques. Maybe substance abuse is hurting you or a loved one, and you want help addressing it. I have 30 years experience dealing with couple/marital, parenting and substance abuse issues. Learn practical solutions that can help reduce these, and other stressors in your life."

"I enjoy working with individuals and families who want change, but struggle to make it happen. For some, it means a change in relationship dynamics or parenting style. For others, it means collaborating to navigate complicated life issues, such as difficult teenagers, addiction or divorce. If you are looking to leave a long marriage or relationship, I can help you navigate that process. I also enjoy working with young women and men, often students or young professionals, who are launching into adulthood and seek a listening ear and gentle direction."

"Sometimes it takes the gentle mirroring of another person to help see what is no longer working in our lives. Habits formed to survive difficult childhoods may be wrecking havoc. Communication styles may be sabotaging love. We may feel overwhelmed in parenting, or facing a big life transition. I work closely with my clients to increase communication skills and develop greater personal awareness. I teach nervous system regulation in order to stay calm and effective during conflict, difficult conversations, and life transitions. From therapy you’ll learn to operate from wholeness and authenticity, and gain acceptance for self/others. "

"My psychotherapy practice is for adults of all ages, couples, and families. I can help you discover the tools you need to develop and sustain satisfying relationships, respond positively to your environment, cope with stress, trust in yourself, actualize your dreams, and live your life with purpose, hope and integrity. Whether you are adjusting to one of life's transitions (new baby, mid-life, new job, divorce, loss, marriage), struggling with anxiety/depression/anger/self-doubt, or attempting to conquer your fears or past trauma, I can provide a safe and trusting environment to help you discover healthy and productive ways of moving through life."

"How do we make healthy changes in our lives - in our marriages, families, work relationships and friendships? I provide a supportive and safe environment for you to become more self-aware to enrich your world and personal relationships. My practice covers a broad spectrum of personal and emotional issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, communication, and stressed couples and families. I also provide help to women dealing with the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis. In addition, prior experience as an Educational Consultant provides helpful insight to families challenged with a struggling teen and the emotional impact this has on family life."
