"DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey."

"Life takes us for turns we don't expect and sometimes we can get through them, but in other times, we can also become stuck. We may feel overwhelmed at work, in our marriage, or in other relationships. Perhaps, there are difficulties with a child or a teenager at home or maybe there are feelings of sadness or anxiousness. When life brings us to this point, reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Coming into therapy can help to make better sense of what is happening and is a safe place to explore alternative avenues toward an improved quality of life."

"Life has its difficult moments, whether it be switching jobs, moving somewhere new, or dealing with recurring issues in your relationships. Change, even if it is positive and expected, can be tough and it can feel like certain aspects are out of your control. Stress, worry, sadness, even anger are the responses to our perceived ability to cope with what we are facing. I believe that when we feel more in control of our lives, the better we feel about our situation, the people around us, and ourselves."

"My primary goal for individuals (and families) is to help minimize distress and overcome challenges. My practice consists of behavioral interventions, cognitive-behavioral and culturally sensitive approaches to address a range of developmental and behavioral disabilities (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, PDD-NOS, ADHD, academic underachievement, learning problems and non-cooperative or oppositional behaviors). My experiences also include reducing guilt, developing assertiveness, overcoming fear and managing stress in those affected by PTSD, stress and other trauma-related disorders."

"I provide office and video counseling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I help people like you feel better. Therapy supports the healing of traumas, depressions, anxieties, stress issues, relationship issues and much more."

"I think of therapy as a venue where it's an honor to explore experiences with diverse people. I know that issues are challenging to live with, and I strive to allow people a safe, nurturing, supportive environment in which to explore challenges, meaning, and existence with empathy and compassion. I value seeing and exploring with people in creating their true identities, assisting people in finding their "voice" and to stand in truth. I'm always mindful that a person is not in isolation, but is part of a community with diverse perspectives, morals, and values."

"Welcome! Taking this step to consider talking to someone about personal issues and problems takes a lot of courage! Starting a new journey of personal exploration and/or healing can be exciting, yet a path you are unsure about. These are things that I understand and if you decide to explore this possibility, one of the first things that we can do is to collaborate and explore together your personal goals and needs in a safe environment.

Together, we can sort out the best approach for you. When you reach out to us for help, we start from the beginning - we don't make any assumptions about you.

"Psychotherapy is the process of change that occurs when we come to understand the affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have on one another. I believe that by discovering new and healthier ways of being in the world we move into a place of greater emotional peace and balance. The mind and body are interconnected, one impacting the other. Emotional distress can negatively affect our physical health, just as physical illness and other health conditions can directly impact mental health. I have a strong background in health psychology having worked in primary care clinics alongside physicians and other healthcare specialists."
