"Couples counseling is my specialty and what I offer almost exclusively. Whether your relationship is experiencing a major crisis (infidelity or threats of divorce) or whether you just feel stuck and disconnected over a communication issue, I am at home. I've been helping couples re-connect and rediscover that "spark" for over 20 years. My style is warm and engaging and I customize therapy approaches to fit your specific relationship. You'll get feedback from me which is what couples indicate they like best about working with me."

"Caregivers want their children to thrive. However, parenting can be tough and modern life can overwhelm children and their families. Is your child overly anxious or struggles with low self-esteem? Or does your child experience repeated angry outbursts? Maybe your child has a hard time sitting still and focusing or your family is going through a divorce and you are worried on how to best support your children through these challenging times. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I am here to provide therapy to children/teenagers and their families to restore balance in their lives. "

"Like riding a wild horse galloping through the woods, our mind can take us wherever it wants until we cultivate skills to tame and steer it. Ruminating on big emotions can seem ferocious and unmanageable. After a break up, a diagnosis, a betrayal, a crisis, change or loss you can feel overwhelmed by what your over-heated, Lamborghini brain kicks up. I can help you create a safe space, reduce speed, re-navigate and travel towards a meaningful life."

"Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important step in the therapy process. A trusting relationship allows clients to feel safe when exploring deeper issues and taking risks. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients. Using an interpersonal and integrative approach, I enjoy working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Having worked in both private practice and university settings has given me 14 years of experience with this work."

"I believe my role as a therapist is to facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment which empowers you to make wanted changes in your life. I have training in various therapeutic approaches which allows me to best meet the needs of the people I work with. I am most influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). You will find that I am an active, open, and holistic therapist who will offer a flexible approach."

"I help individuals with relationship problems, depression, loss and grief, trauma, anxiety, and the emotional disruptions of difficult life transitions. I also help with blocks to the creative process, such as writer's block and stage fright. I provide a safe and caring environment in which we work together to explore and understand your current distress and find a path to greater ease and fulfillment in life. My approach is insight-oriented, collaborative and problem solving, depending on your particular situation and needs. I work with individuals and couples. I prepare forensic psychological evaluations related to trauma."

"Are you experiencing chronic illness or pain? Do you tend to feel stress, anxiety, and depression emotionally AND physically? My practice focuses on treating both the mind and the body using a caring, holistic approach. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults, teens, children, couples, and families experiencing illness/pain, anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, eating disorders, difficulty with life transitions and relationships, and weight loss and smoking struggles. I empower my clients in a safe environment by teaching them real-life techniques, helping them to get better faster and conquer their symptoms once and for all!"

"When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way."

"One thing is certain in life: things always change. All of us encounter difficult changes, narrow passages that we must navigate: unemployment, relocation, breakups, divorce, illness, bereavement. We also experience good, positive changes. Ironically, these too can be quite stressful. Falling in love, getting married, childbirth, getting a promotion at work, any major accomplishment can precipitate uneasiness and worry. It can be tremendously helpful to have the attention, support and perspective of a thoughtful therapist. Together, we collaborate to get you through these challenges while, at the same time, being curious about the deeper meanings underneath the surface."

"Each of us experiences difficulties in our lives, but sometimes it is hard to face them alone. I am an active and engaged therapist, and together we will get to know you well. You will then use this self-awareness to make better, more satisfying choices on a day-to-day basis. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, unfocused or dissatisfied, this exploration will support you in bringing out your most adaptive capacities. We will approach this task with compassionate interest and curiosity and without judgment."

"I am an experienced psychotherapist trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I received my advanced training at the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis. I have been practicing for 20 years and work with adults ages 20 and over. I have worked extensively with patients suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work related problems, marital issues and issues of low self esteem. I also have an expertise in couples therapy."

"I believe the most important thing about therapy is empowering you so that you can make conscious choices about your life. My style is active and involved. Working collaboratively, I can help you define your goals and see what is causing your pain, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems in relationships. As a child, you learned ways of coping with your environment that were safe for you at the time. Those coping behaviors became habitual but, as an adult, no longer work for you and interfere with your happiness and your ability to function at your highest level."

"I am Bilingual Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with children and adolescents and their families with a range of emotional and behavioral conflicts and issues. I have provided individual and family therapy using a variety of evidence-based methods. Having a particular interest in working with children who struggle with various life issues, I view my office as a place where children can feel safe and learn to help themselves. I encourage them to identify their own strengths and develop goals to promote positive long-term outcomes and resilience so that they may thrive."

"I work with couples in all forms, whether dating, pre-marital, newlyweds, or married for years. I also work with other types of dyads such as adult children and their parents and business partners who want to build better communication or resolve conflict. In addition, I work with individuals feeling stressed, overworked, and disconnected. I particularly enjoy working with entrepreneurs/self-employed, LGBTQ, and people in the midst of life transitions which can include breakups, graduating, exploring/entering a new career, or navigating a new season of life. "

"Do you feel stuck? Do you often wonder how others perceive you? Do you feel sad about the death of a loved one, or the end of a close relationship? Do you long to unleash your potential, so you can move on and live a fulfilling life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from talk therapy. I know that it can be difficult to ask for help, but I am here to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible."

"At 3Elements Counseling,LLC we work with individual, and families. We understand the challenges of multicultural families. Families that due to work or personal circumstances had to move and leave people and things behind. Families and individuals that beside dealing with their own individual patterns of anxiety, depression, dysfunctional family of origin, trauma, and child rearing challenges have to adjust to a new culture, a new country and a new rhythm of life."

"Do you have a family member or loved one who served in the military and suffers from combat-related stress? Is he or she finding it hard getting back to civilian life or is struggling to maintain healthy relationships, reliving bad memories of traumatic events or avoiding situations that trigger flashbacks of traumatic experiences? Combat-related stress might negatively impact intimacy, sexual desire and can cause ruptures in relationships. It's important to know that post-deployment stress responses are normal reactions to abnormal events..."
