"My ideal client is struggling with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, poor self- esteem, perfection tendencies and an overwhelming need for approval which interrupts their growth, connections and elevates their distress intolerance. My training will be helpful in connecting the dots while promoting healthy responses to life challenges. A plethora of tools are used to enhance your capacity to realize your potential so that you can live the best version of yourself while demarcating the distinction between your history and your destiny. Betrayed and needing to heal from an affair or prevent one; come see me. "

"You've read, researched, and tried various methods to get out of your head when anxiety hits. Some things have worked, but not enough to create sustainable change. The tightness in your chest and nerves in your stomach are getting old. A sense of calm feels just out of reach which is frustrating. Imagine feeling comfortable in your own skin; less worry, more "normal." Connecting with other people without feeling so awkward or guarded. Those things are possible. Therapy is a great starting place."

"Together we will work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one's fears, perception, desires and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves, can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation and a fuller life. As individuals exist within cultural contexts which heavily influence all facets of who we are including our world view, relationships, decision making and identity, I strive to utilize cultural sensitivity in my practice."

"The ability to be your authentic self impacts your ability to make progress in therapy. Are you tired of having to explain your gender, sexuality or relationships to your clinician? Are you avoiding going to or "stuck" in therapy because you are not open about all parts of your identity in session? Frustrated by having to explain the nuances of being queer, trans, gender expansive, poly, or kinky? Whether you are facing concerns with anxiety, mood, compulsive behaviors, relationships or self actualization, my mission is to create a safe space for gender, sexual and relationship structure minorities."

"Aiming to thrive and not solely survive? Despite our adverse experiences or current circumstances, we often find ourselves wanting to find more meaning in life. I help my clients slow down to closely examine the obstacles that are interfering with their ability to live the life they envision. My aim in counseling is to learn to love yourself as you are while working on our areas of growth. We are all worthy of self-love and self-compassion, but all too often this is absent from our lives. My hope is that through this process you find your true authentic self and are courageous enough to live it out!"

"I believe in establishing a non-judgmental therapeutic partnership with clients to assist in overcoming life's difficulties. I am dedicated to helping clients understand the issues that are affecting their well-being and developing a plan to positively address these issues."

"At Circle of Recovery, Inc., we believe that problems associated with alcohol drugs and mental illness is bio-psycho-social in nature, which must be address in a multifaceted approach. We believe that every aspect of the individual's life is impacted and that treatment leading to recovery and goal attainment is a lifetime process."

"In life there will be joy and success, accompanied by pain and failure. Sometimes when we experience the latter it can be difficult to go through it alone. Even if we ourselves think we can. I believe most success, progress, and innovations in life are not done alone, but with the help and aid of our fellow human companions in virtually any arena of life. I am here to simply be a fellow human being to aid and assist you on your personal path, because I can only show you the door, you're the one who will walk through it."

"My interests and passions are working with anxiety and depression, life adjustments, gender and sexual minorities, gender identity exploration, survivors of sexual abuse and relational trauma, the Gaming and Cosplay community, the Drag and Burlesque community, and working with teens and young adults. I enjoy working with people who are striving to overcome their obstacles and meet their goals. These are people who are tired of struggling and want to achieve a thriving lifestyle. With the right guidance and support, we work towards a calm and focused you. Therapy should be driven by the client and I'll help you get there."

"I love working with children, adults and families of all kinds. Individuals and families who are navigating the impacts of change, ability/disability, loss, divorce or simply feeling disconnected can get stuck. Seeking support and finding time to dedicate to therapy is a brave first step in determining your course, and I honor you for it.

"If you are here, you are considering taking an important step towards your own personal development. The complexities of our world today can leave you feeling pulled in so many different directions, leaving little time and space for reflection and self-care.

"You are not alone! No matter what problems you are facing, you can overcome them and I will teach you how. My training and experience is in treating COUPLES, INDIVIDUALS and FAMILIES. I treat couples and families who have difficulties communicating, resolving issues, or navigating family transitions successfully. My practice focuses on couples and families in which a member has a chronic, terminal or psychiatric illness.

"Generation X'ers and Millennials have special therapeutic needs that are unique to them, such as the heavy influence that Pop Culture, mass marketing, and social media has on their growth, development, and mental health. Having been born on the cusp of both generations gives me special insight into the needs of these two groups. I have worked with people from various backgrounds e.g. athletes, entertainers, business professionals and stay at home fathers. I also specialize in issues that affect the newly developing Urban Middle Class/Young Urban Professionals, as well as College aged and High School students."

"As a therapist and yoga instructor, I combine counseling with mindfulness for stress, anxiety, and depression. I assist you in deeply understanding your suffering and uncovering inner strength through acceptance and choice, while cultivating compassion for yourself and others. Mindfulness helps us recognize emotional and physical experiences, while awareness of breath creates space to become more response-able. This develops healthy responses to stress, anxiety, and depression. It also improves our ability to communicate and be in relationship with others."

"Life is a journey not a destination. The path is filled with obstacles, detours, and unexpected storms. Navigating your Journey 2 Joy can be tough. Along the way it is helpful to have a guide to help learn new skills to navigate the challenges and help you realize the strength and power within."

"So many therapists to choose from! It's overwhelming, right? What should you look for in picking a therapist? Someone who is enough like you that you can connect, and yet different enough that you can grow. It's hard to tell that from profiles, but you'll make the right decision. It takes guts to be in psychotherapy, because psychotherapy is about really looking at yourself, and seeing what you do well and what needs to be changed. It's about gradually coming to trust the relationship we build together, and using that relationship for safety, support, and feedback."
