"People seek therapy because of the challenges that come to them through times of transition. If you want to focus on healing without having to worry about a third party monitoring your personal struggles and demanding a diagnosis, I am happy to partner with you directly, creating terms that we negotiate together. Healing is likely the most important task that you'll tend to in your adult life. I will guide you in that process without pathologizing or labeling you. Becoming the fullest expression of yourself is a worthwhile and deeply personal task, not to be compromised by political systems."

"It's that time of year again! It's a marathon through Fall and the holidays, and that pace can be exhausting. Couples in all stages come to therapy. Whether love is new and they're trying to figure out life's challenges before taking the next step, or love is old and familiar but maybe it hasn't been working well lately (or for the last several years). It's best to come in and sit down with a third party not connected to your family or friends and be able to sort through everything in a supportive and safe environment. I even work with people who have decided not to be a couple, but are committed to co-parenting."

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. I believe that each session of therapy is as unique as the individual, couple, or family that steps into my office. It is important for me to spend time getting to know you on a complete level, so that we can work together towards making the changes you seek."

"Therapy is about change. Your goal might be personal growth, working on a relationship(s) in which you are struggling or to figure out how to manage feelings of depression, anxiety or some other emotionally painful experience. My approach is to help you explore the factors that contribute to what you are experiencing and help you create positive and useful meaning and understanding from the process. I believe that this understanding helps you to be clear about what you want in life and to make choices that help you to feel better, reach your goals and enjoy fulfillment and success."

"Relationships can be hard. Finding help can also be challenging, particularly if you are not familiar with the experience of individual, couples or family therapy. As with most things the first step is the hardest. It's even more difficult if there is a financial investment involved. Come in for a free initial consultation to see if therapy is useful for your challenges. "

"The core of each of us is whole and perfect. This is the belief that underscores my work and life. Whatever part or parts of you feels stuck, broken, lost, confused, stressed or hopeless, I guarantee that not only is there hope and that there will be clarity, but that the healing process will naturally unfold. In fact, healing has already begun just by you deciding to seek help. You are not alone, and I look forward to working with you."

"As a marriage and family therapist I have worked with couples, families, and individuals of different backgrounds for more than 15 years. My experience as a therapist has taught me that change can be challenging and rewarding at the same time. Through a compassionate and understanding relationship I guide my clients to explore the stories that constraint them form having richer relationships and a more gratifying life. During the therapeutic process I help people turn challenges into opportunities for growth and development."

"Often the hardest part of solving problems is finding the right person to help you. Since therapy can be an exciting, challenging, and at times a daunting process, it is important to know that you are working with a therapist who is experienced with the issues you are struggling with."

"You're feeling like you're not enough; you don't make enough, you don't do enough. You're feeling lost in an overwhelming world. You are surrounded by expectations of what your relationship should be, how fulfilling your career should be, how quickly you should have a family and how to parent said children. You are seeking some clarity, some solstice, some calm. You are looking for reassurance that you are enough, you are doing enough."

"At Connect Therapy Services we believe Therapy is about Connection. Parents connecting with children. Partners connecting with partners. Individuals connecting with their inner Self and higher power. Growing is about connecting with your past, present, and future; Healing is connecting with your pain in order to get to your hope. As a therapist, my job is to facilitate these connections. Grounded in Development and Attachment Therapy, I am honored to be an advocate for children, adolescents, couples and families."

"I believe that each step we take towards self-reflection and relational understanding helps break down powerful patterns that make us feel stuck and hopeless. Giving your emotions a voice can be a freeing and validating experience. It is my role to help this process happen in a way that is safe and meaningful to bring hope and awareness into your life."

"Change is a phenomenon that we all face. We will repeat painful patterns over and over in effort to avoid change. I believe that everyone has the power to create positive change in their lives and relationships. Often times a therapeutic alliance can facilitate that change in a safe environment. If you believe you are ready to grow as an individual, couple, or family, I would be honored to assist you in your journey."

"All people struggle at times. My approach is to hear these struggles from each person's unique point of view and to discover new options responding to these difficulties. I help people to identify their core strengths and values as resources for living. My approach also incorporates mindfulness and skill building for emotional resilience. I work with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, and/or addictions."

"November 1, 2019 - I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings and needs in some really confusing ways. Sometimes they and their families just need help to better understand what they are trying to say; To learn more constructive ways in which to express themselves, and for everyone in the family to learn more constructive ways in which to respond. Parents very often need someone to listen to their frustrations and to put the pieces together in a way that makes sense. "
