"My counseling approach emphasizes how all individuals have the capabilities to live life authentically and with reduced stress. My goal is to help you utilize your strengths to achieve positive self-change and growth through the many transitions in life. I provide counseling for adults, couples, and older adults experiencing depression, low self esteem, anxiety, parental difficulties, relationship problems, substance abuse, anger, and stress related symptoms. I have training in teaching relaxation techniques and anger management skills including deep breathing and systematic desensitization. "

"You deserve to live a life with a calm and focused mind, a relaxed body, and a sense of wellbeing. Sessions with me involve a collaborative approach to help you improve relationships, ease your racing mind, relax physical tension, and live a more fulfilling and balanced life. Whether it be work stress, trauma, challenging relationships or addictive behaviors, I will help you explore the issues you are facing and cope with crisis better."

"When a child is struggling you want relief quickly. I specialize in working with complicated kids and their frustrated parents. These kids tend to be dysregulated, anxious, rigid, overactive, and for one reason or another, have a hard time following directions. Many of the child’s behaviors leave teachers and parents concerned about the child’s ability to do well in school and with peers. My passion is to collaborate with you and help your child or teen thrive."

"I am FULL right now. Check on me in December and I’ll likely have space. Looking for a therapist requires a leap of faith: that someone out there can actually understand, let alone help. Maybe you sense you need to make a change, but how to move forward is unclear. Or maybe you are going through something right now that feels too heavy to shoulder alone. In either case, therapy can be a place to find your footing. When we first meet, I will listen carefully to your story, then together we will identify what carries the potential to help. I offer a compassionate relationship you can rely on."

"I have a low-pressure, warm approach focused on creating an environment of safety and encouragement. I believe It takes courage to reach out for help and I treat my clients and their concerns with the utmost respect. I believe that human connection is essential to our well being and that connection in the therapeutic relationship is essential to healing. I view therapy as a collaboration where we work together to discover and develop your strengths and resources to let go of old patterns and behaviors that are no longer helpful to you."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist that works with individuals & families struggling with eating disorders & comorbid issues, including, depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, relationship issues & life transitions. From a systemic, psycho-dynamic foundation, I focus on past & present relationships and how behavioral patterns evolve over time. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for the client to explore, uncover, and discover emotions. This allows the client to build trust, to take emotional risks, to challenge maladaptive coping in order to create new, more effective ways of managing painful emotions."

"When you are in psychological distress and someone really hears you without passing judgement, without trying to take responsibility, without trying to mold you, the impact can be profound. I strive to be authentic, accepting, and empathetic in the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe space that allows for you to be truly heard. My ideal client is one who is open to doing the difficult work. Yes, if we do the work then life becomes an opportunity to love, and live. "

" As a relationship and family therapist, I provide a non-judgmental and affirming space that acknowledges and celebrates the beauty of human experience. I help couples, relationships and families to examine and create new patterns, communicate more openly and lovingly, and strengthen the relationships in their lives. My approach to therapy focuses on helping you to identify, explore, and, if helpful, lift constraints that may be interfering with the ability to live your definition of a healthy, balanced life. "

"Societal norms, social oppression, and even loved ones can contribute to us feeling like we are not enough. This can have a significant impact on our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, and our negative automatic thoughts can be persistent and isolating. They can affect the way we approach others and how we navigate the world. "

"So you want to start psychotherapy? Perhaps you have seen a therapist before or this is your first time. Setting that initial appointment and engaging in treatment can be daunting. Please let me help facilitate and aid in your therapeutic process and treatment. I work with clients struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, stress management, PTSD, life transitions and issues related to self-esteem. Let’s work together to process any issues and patterns of your past, determine present difficulties to develop coping strategies, and work towards creating the life you seek today and moving forward. "

"Change is constant in our lives and many times we need extra support when those changes impact us negatively. It is my goal to help you learn ways to manage challenging emotions during times of change or challenges. Together we will draw upon your resilience and strength to find new insights and learn strategies to positively affect change in your life. "

"My therapeutic approach is to fosters a space where the past, present, and future intersect in a way that healing, empowerment, and clear direction can flourish. I understand that life can at times be challenging, change can be destabilizing, and loss will cause pain. Through these life transitions one may at times need a safe space to cultivate hope and grow. I employ evidence based practices, cultural sensitivity and awareness to assist you in achieving your therapeutic goals. "

"I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which people can experience healthier, whole relationships.

As a counselor with over 12 years of experience, my focus is in helping you discover the strengths within yourself to navigate and manage personal difficulties. I believe in a holistic and person centered approach, focused on mindfulness, emotional understanding and self motivation. I am dedicated to providing a nonjudgmental and compassionate listening ear and feel passionately about building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client. "

"Establishing your emotional safety within the therapeutic relationship is my number one priority. Once you feel a deep sense of calm and connection, we envision, plan, and set goals for your future. We reprocess traumatic or disturbing memories and heal unconscious wounds lingering from relationships and experiences in the past. Once we understand your desired future and have transformed out-dated memories, we move toward building resilience skills so that you become the hero of your own journey. "

"NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS. My goals: to help you get un-stuck, face your difficulties, and restore your connection to yourself and others. I am focused on walking alongside you as we get to the root of issues, while providing you with new tools along the way. I work with individuals around trauma/PTSD (past abuse, dangerous childhoods, sexual assault, traumatic events), grief/loss, divorce, spiritual instability and college/young adulthood issues. I also help couples with pre-engagement/pre-marital counseling, healing from emotional and/or sexual affairs, conflict/communication issues, and relationship enrichment. LGBTQ affirmative."

"In my work with clients, I offer an environment of care, compassion, humility, and human understanding. Despite its beauty, the human experience is laden with struggles, challenges, and complexities. Often these issues are worth or necessitate exploring. Although I have extensive experience working with a wide range of concerns, I specialize in sleep, anxiety/depression, breakup/divorce recovery, and dating. I believe everyone deserves to sleep well, feel good, and be in a loving, healthy relationship. "

"My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place where we can work collaboratively on specific goals to bring about personal growth, healing and healthier living. In a creative and caring environment, I help clients of all ages gain new perspectives, identify negative thinking patterns and express painful feelings. Many times people don’t have the words for what they are going through and traditional talk therapy merged with experiential components can help to unblock emotions, reduce anxiety, increase positive thinking and create corrective experiences from family of origin wounds. "

"A down-to-earth, irreverent straight shooter, I prefer therapy to be free of pretense and to be a partnership. Together, we will focus on individual growth and healing rather than diagnoses or one-size-fits-all treatment approaches. If you are underinsured, have a prohibitively high deductible, or you just want to get help without going through your insurance, I may be a good match for your needs and offer a sliding fee scale to keep my services affordable.
