Short term therapy is my preferred approach, in order to enable individuals to become healthier, more functional and to move on without interminable therapy. My practice also consists of forensic psychology and industrial/organizational psychological consultation. I coach employees, managers and corporate executives. Initial appointments are within at most within one week of client's contact."

"If you are reading these words, you are most likely on medications or had previous counseling or perhaps you are looking for a different approach. If that is the case, as a Clinical Wellness coach I consider myself an "Energy Doctor" who will teach you how to use your "thinking" processes to heal your mind. These practices work well with medications and other clinical approaches. Teaching patients how to use their "deliberate thoughts" can be just as effective as using medication.

"While I run a general practice seeing a wide variety of clients experiencing different struggles, I have found that I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I find myself drawn to clients who are self-motivated and desire a deeper understanding and acceptance of self. Clients who describe themselves as "over-thinkers" often find therapy to be a beneficial outlet for these thoughts, providing them a safe space to express them and come to understand them more clearly. These have been some of my most favorite clients with which to work."

"People are made to strive toward growth. If you are feeling stuck, disconnected, unsettled or blue, you may need a helping hand to get "unstuck" and move toward growth again. I provide a safe and welcoming space to explore this process and grow. I have experience treating clients for trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociative identity disorder, sexual trauma, family difficulties, sports performance, difficulty adjusting to life circumstances, ADHD, difficulty communicating, anger and interpersonal conflict."

"Do you feel disconnected, experiencing more anxiety, depression and loneliness than ever before because you are socially detached, device addicted and career driven? Are hungering to connect but out of impulsive desperation connect with anyone via device or in person?"

"People come to therapy because "something" isn't working for them. That "something" can be emotions that are off kilter, a troublesome relationship, or a life event that has thrown the mind and body, the entire person, out of sync. My clients and I look at issues deeply and take a positive and active approach to healing. I see individuals, couples and families. My ideal client is the person who is motivated to solve the problem plaguing them. Short-term therapy is my therapy of choice."

"Since every client is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to complement each client's individual personality, inviting them into a safe and accepting environment where they are met with respect and empathic concern. As a Radical Forgiveness Therapy Practitioner, I help clients accomplish the often difficult task of forgiveness, freeing them from long held anger and hurt. I'm trained in a highly effective treatment for trauma, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing),generating remarkable results with adults and couples, struggling with marital or relationship issues, phobias, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, work issues, or grief and loss."

"Do you feel your marriage lacks the close feelings you once had? Do your talks often end in a disagreement or an argument where nothing really gets figured out? I can help you. I am an expert in EFT, recognized by the American Psychological Association as an empirically validated treatment for distressed relationahips. This goes beyond the standard of research-based. This means EFT has been tested, and the APA recognizes both the rigor and the results. Social scientists and counselors like myself have cracked the code. I can guide you to getting the love you want."

"I have been helping individuals, families, and systems for nearly 10 years and I absolutely love what I do! My approach to therapy is all about helping you to be your best you. I am here to help women, men, teenagers, and families create a more fulfilling life. If you are ready to heal, change, grow, or simply create greater satisfaction in your life...give me a call!"

"You are likely on this website because you, or someone you care about, is suffering. Therapy can be tremendously helpful in alleviating suffering and for overall personal growth. I have helped many people with issues such as depression, anxiety, and/or low self-esteem. These difficulties often, but not always, revolve around issues with relationships and/or one's career. If you decide to contact me, we will set up a time to meet to talk more about what's bothering you and how we can work together on these issues. "

"Finding the best individual and marriage therapist for you can seem daunting. Talking to us, asking questions, paying attention to your feelings and intuition, all help. My 30 years experience as a compassionate, well-trained, actively involved psychotherapist gives me the background and skills to support you in achieving your goals, which might include: resolving immediate symptoms and issues; recognizing and appreciating your core strengths; developing deeper self awareness and acceptance; and learning the skills of 'mindfulness' and empowered, effective communication. I am experienced in working with the newer spiritual growth paradigms, as in the work of Eckhart Tolle."

"Seeking connection is an integral part of being a human being. Often times our primary relationships with family members do not provide the connection that helps us feel the love and peace that we deserve. Through the therapeutic process, we can learn about how to seek relationships and connections that can bring this happiness to our lives. Sometimes this may mean creating boundaries with family members or friends or possibly ending those relationships we deem unhealthy. Through counseling, we are able to restore ourselves and our "families." This may mean our families of origin or simply the friends that we have chosen as our family."

"Life throws us curve balls that seems hard to recover, but when you have someone and somewhere to support and guide you through, those curve balls turn into steps toward a new journey. I help clients work through life difficulties and changes and help you achieve what's important to you. I understand the significance of providing quality service and meeting the needs of those who put their trust in me. Regardless of the issue, your counseling experience will be individualized. My services are about you and was created uniquely for you!"

"Do you or your child have trouble concentrating, have feelings of Anxiety or Depression or struggling socially? I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that are personalized for each person's individual needs. I work with children of all ages, both male and female as well as adults. I practice using a variety of evidenced-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, family issues, trauma, abuse/neglect, self-injury and other issues that affect children and adults."

"I generally find that people look for help at times when something in their lives is changing. At such times many adults, adolescents, and children have feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety-or have other symptoms--because they need to feel recognized and appreciated. I focus on helping people stay connected during life changes e.g. who is in the household; losses at work or school; or family changes related to aging. I work with relationship situations including parent-child; parent-adolescent; sibling; same-sex, heterosexual, and cross-cultural couples; and stepfamilies as well as other complex family forms."

"Anger management and relationship issues go hand-in-hand. Many clients are in distress because of poor communication with their partner. I provide a safe haven where differing perspectives may be expressed, and respect for differences is a significant goal. I have a universal respect for all interpersonal relationships including family of origin relationships, heterosexual partnerships, and homosexual partnerships. I have worked with many couples who are trying to recover from a betrayal of trust such as an affair. As long as two people are willing to work on the relationship, I believe there is hope that it can be saved."

"The single most important factor in successful psychotherapy is the relationship between patient and therapist; effective therapy starts from the moment you walk in the door. If you feel unsure, please call and talk with me about setting up your first appointment."
