"The goal of this counseling relationship is to identify healthy behaviors that you choose to examine and to incorporate patterns of change into your life. I strive to create and maintain a therapeutic relationship that is accepting and empowering. I specialize in individual and couples therapy."

"I believe that a mutually trusting relationship between client and counselor is primary to personal change. With all clients, I work to provide a safe, comfortable environment in which clients can freely explore new ideas. I strive to help each client discover new options and perspectives, enabling more effective choices for his/her life. Together with my clients, I establish both short and long term goals aimed at alleviating symptoms and developing healthier lifetime patterns. I have experienced and enjoyed working with people from many walks of life."

"Feeling stuck? Your life can be more then getting through each day. We will work together in a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore the changes you envision for yourself and your relationships. Change can be scary; we will build off the strengths and resources you already have to make change feel possible. I see therapy as a collaboration between counselor and client. My role is to provide evidence based practices that allow you to remain hopeful throughout the process of achieving the changes you desire."

"Congratulations on your new step to a new beginning. I look forward to helping you and/or your family with making a change in your life. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I also work with families. I have experience with working with issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-care, stress management, communication skills, behavior problems, control anger, expression of feelings, needs, and wants or just needing someone to talk to."

"The choice of a counselor is an important one. The relationship between a therapist and a client is the foundation for successful therapy. I see therapy as a journey of self discovery. As you gain an better understanding of yourself and your behavior, you will become empowered to cope and deal with situations in healthier ways. My goal for all clients is to help you be the person you want to be - living the life that you choose."

"I have been providing therapeutic services as licensed professional since 2009. My professional experiences have allowed me to work in a variety of clinical settings, while providing individual, group, family & couples counseling, assisting those struggling with life changes, depression, anxiety, domestic/family violence, trauma, substance addiction, family/relational conflict, & LGBT related issues."

"I work with a variety of adult clients, both individually and in couples counseling. Many of my adult clients are dealing with varying levels of anxiety, depression and/or relationship struggles. Most share a willingness for self-reflection, a strong desire for self-development and a deep curiosity about 'what makes us tick'."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families. I am passionate about providing individualized, holistic care to clients. I have expertise working with eating disorders and self-injurious behavior. Additional specialties include anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, pain management, insomnia and personality disorders. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and components of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to empower individuals to make positive change through mood, thought process, and behavioral change, as well as values work and acceptance."

"I take a practical approach in therapy, and practice using several empirically supported models. This means that the types of treatment I use have been shown through research to be effective. At the same time, I believe that the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist makes a big difference in how successful the therapy is. I am always mindful that you have decided to engage in therapy because you want to see changes in your life and how you feel, and that it's my job to facilitate that change."

"If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, or addiction, I can help you navigate the road to recovery. I have helped hundreds of clients just like you to learn the tools they need to get their life back on track. There is nothing easy about therapy but trying to manage without can be far more difficult. You have already taken the most difficult step by seeking help. And we all need help sometimes."

"In over 30 years practicing psychotherapy with people of all ages, I have learned that everyone is unique, and everyone needs to be recognized for who they are. But we also all share certain basic things: needs for satisfying relationships with others, for a meaningful and interesting path in life, and for security and enjoyment. If you are seeking psychological help, you are probably looking for a better way to meet those needs. You may be experiencing unsatisfying relationships, having trouble finding a meaningful life path, or trying to deal with painful emotions like anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, or anger."

"Engaged in the profession of mental health and wellness since 1995, my expertise includes a wide range of therapeutic experience with age ranges from late adolescent to elderly populations of diverse backgrounds. Expertise includes: Relationships, Anxiety, Employee Mediation, Risk and Threat Assessment, (of Harm to Self or Others) Grief work, Depression, Suicide Prevention, and Crisis Response. My philosophy is holistic with a mindfulness of learning style and impactful, yet compassionate techniques. Moreover, I have extensive experience in higher education, career services and the diverse population it serves."

"The difficult circumstances we face in life are often also our greatest teachers. The support and guidance of counseling can be a catalyst for turning our painful internal and external struggles into growth towards deeper happiness and connection. I work with clients to develop new perspectives and skills so they can relate to life's inevitable stresses with greater ease and acceptance, finding a balance between striving to improve themselves and their lives, and appreciating and enjoying where they are, today."

"I have many years of experience working with folks with a history of trauma and substance abuse issues. I believe that these two things often go hand in hand - people using substances to help deal with the painful feelings associated with trauma. Most recently I have focused on working with the LGBTQ communities to address issues related to societal and familial rejection, isolation, bullying and low self worth. I have found that providing queer affirming therapy in a nonjudgmental environment can be very healing to clients."

"It is my belief that psychotherapy and psychological assessments offer an opportunity for healing, growth and change. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better understand themselves, to help them find solutions to their difficulties, and to help facilitate positive change in their lives. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples."

"I practice counseling in a safe, comfortable setting with children, adolescents and adults. Counseling can be an effective way to examine emotional or behavioral instability, issue like anxiety, depression and anger; an upsetting or confusing life transition like the loss of a loved one, divorce or life change. I believe it's important to have a collaborative relationship with my clients to find solutions to life challenges and explore the patterns that may no longer work for you."

"I help men and women embrace their power, move beyond grief, and create the passionate life they deserve. My typical approach is strength based and action oriented. I'm an enthusiastic clinician who works well with individuals who feel stuck and are ready to make changes. My style is extremely warm and genuine. I want this experience to be a familiar one, as if you are sitting down with someone who cares about you and your goals. My clients describe their time with me as: casual and convenient, comfortable, authentic, and whenever possible, full of laughter."

"Welcome! Starting therapy can be very challenging and I would love to begin working with you to best meet your goals. While therapy can be an overwhelming process, with the right therapist, it can be the most helpful step in facing life's stressors. I am down to earth, approachable and provide a warm and supportive environment for growth and change. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to help them reach their best selves. I utilize a relational and interpersonal approach that looks at the entire individual emotionally, mentally and physically."

"I see counseling as a process in which the client and counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from an integrative approach based on the client's needs and the nature of the presenting issues. I believe that change occurs through the development of a collaborative working relationship and through changing negative thoughts and behaviors that affect changes in mood."
