"I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I work to facilitate positive change and growth for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. I am particularly interested in the challenges and growth we experience during life transitions such as changes in relationships, career, college, health, marriage, divorce and the changes which occur during our mid life years. I work to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment in which the client can explore their difficulties."

"I work with both individuals and couples. We begin by defining your needs for therapy.Then, we work toward clarity and understanding to learn for example, why you feel stuck or why you might be successful in one part of your life and not another. My work often incorporates learning better relational skills like boundaries and effective communication as well as developing a more compassionate and helpful way of relating to yourself."

"You may be seeking psychotherapy because something in your life is not going the way you would like. It could be troublesome relationships, depression, anxiety or general dissatisfaction. No matter the specific problem, it is my goal to help you understand why you are experiencing troublesome symptoms or challenges. Then we can get you back to feeling better, reaching personal goals and enjoying fulfilling relationships."

"It seems like you've got it together but nobody seems to realize you're floundering. They don't know what's inside: a tally of every failure, a plan for every what if, chronic worry, fear and insecurity and thoughts- so many thoughts! It's impossible to focus. As a woman you play a lot of roles: daughter, lover, friend, mother, employee, entrepreneur- it's crazymaking! It can be easy to lose the YOU in all of this. You were a person before you became the social chameleon you're required to be right now. The anxious feeling never goes away and you don't know what to do, so you suffer quietly. You don't have to stay here."

"I believe curiosity and awareness are our real purpose in life. As a therapist; I am committed to meeting clients where they are, without value judgments or an agenda for how someone's life "should" be. I offer collaborative, growth-oriented, psychotherapy and counseling for anyone who wishes to be their best self, & live their life to its fullest. I work with preteen/adolescents, families, & adults across the life span. I see people experiencing a range of concerns including: mood & anxiety disorders, life transitions, relational difficulties, grief & loss, trauma, & substance use issues (addictions)."

"Scheduling an appointment for therapy is a personal choice, reflecting a desire for change or betterment in an area of one’s life. It may be prompted by a long-standing pattern or relationship that is increasingly difficult. One might schedule an appointment after a critical incident, crisis or anxiety or depressed mood. For others, seeking therapy relates to the frustration one feels after repeated efforts have not lead to desired results. There are also times when individual therapy is a successful starting point for one spouse to get support for a marriage; when a partner is not ready for couples therapy."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's degree in public health education and doctoral specialty in health psychology. My clients seek assistance for a variety of concerns including the management of emotions such as depression, anxiety, and anger, issues related to parenting, and stress reduction. I also treat those with behavioral and emotional concerns stemming from the diagnosis of a medical condition. As a social scientist, I study and promote methods of healing that have been proven effective through rigorous systematic study."

"Life is filled with sorrow and joy, frustration and wonder, stagnation and growth, obstacles and openings. At times, our skill set and resources are not optimal for helping us adapt to the shifts and movement in our lives. I believe that art therapy and counseling can support understanding of our skills and resources that better equip us to adapt to life's changes. Art therapy allows opportunities to imagine the best, healthiest version of ourselves and permit clarifying moments where we perceive possibility and potential. My goal is to support clients in becoming active agents in developing positive, purposeful ideas towards wellness and good health."

"I work with a wide range of clients struggling with a multitude of personal issues and mental disorders. Regardless of diagnosis, I help each and every client identify their strengths and support systems and challenge them to visualize their best self. By creating treatment goals and plans together, I empower my clients to take the first steps in the healing process. "

"My approach to therapy is active, collaborative, and conversational. I work hard to create a space where you feel comfortable and understood. Within this type of connection, you are better able to explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences and you are more likely to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life."

"Facing life's difficulties can be experienced as a combination of confusing, scary, and at times outright overwhelming. Many of these difficulties arise when our approach to the world, while adaptive at one time, is no longer effective in our current life situation. Because emotional distress is often related to dynamics we are unaware of, we can find ourselves unable to break free from unhealthy, self-defeating patterns that prevent us from leading fulfilling lives."

"Trust, empathy, and respect are the foundation upon which any valuable relationship is built, including the relationship between a therapist and a client. I strive to create that sort of caring relationship with clients from the time of our first meeting. I believe that this establishes a safe space in which you can reflect on your life, gain perspective and imagine a hopeful vision for your future. As a companion on your journey, I offer my thoughts and insights while always recognizing that you are the ultimate expert on your own life and the choices you face."
