Are you looking for specific strategies to live a more balanced and fulfilling life? I can help. Together we'll explore your self-defeating behaviors, irrational thoughts and family dynamics. We will also concentrate on what makes you unique, resilient and hopeful. My approach to therapy is creative, lively and experiential. The awareness that will come with this journey of discovery, coupled with a genuine therapeutic relationship between us, will lead to long-term growth and healing."

"My approach is gentle yet direct; emphasizing authenticity, empathy and humor (when appropriate) within a safe and relaxed environment . I incorporate the principles of mindfulness and self-compassion in confronting issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and patterns of negative thinking. I believe that you enter therapy already equipped for personal transformation. My role is to nurture the emergence of your highest self, and provide support as you begin to trust your innate ability to heal old wounds and discover deep fulfillment. We will work towards embracing imperfection as part of the human experience, and acceptance as the antidote to suffering."

"Are you feeling depressed, alone, or anxious? Are you struggling with an addiction? Are you tired of fighting with your partner? Do you want to heal after a break-up or divorce? Do you want to stop attracting the same partners in your life and start dating consciously? If you answered YES to any of these questions, chances are you feel frustrated, confused, and alone. The good news is that solutions do exist for you. I have helped many individuals, couples and families reach higher ground with an action-oriented approach to healing."

"As a compassionate therapist, I have over eight years of experience supporting people as they work through challenging issues, and aim for their potential. My therapy style uses many different approaches, and is flexible to best fit your needs. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also Coaching.

"Life can be tough. And, it can always be better. I believe psychotherapy is an amazing tool in identifying and removing the obstacles to wonderful relationships - with self, with career, and others. I utilize my training as a therapist as well as my eleven years as corporate recruiter to assist individuals and couples to articulate and then create more fulfilling lives. If depression, anxiety, fear, addiction or any other issue is standing in the way of the life you would like to be living, please know there is help."

"I love the expression "start where you are" and that is exactly how I approach therapy. Going to therapy doesn't mean that you have to change everything right now. Focusing on where you think you should be or how you think things should be is incredibly overwhelming and frankly, depressing. If you are challenged with relationships, work, parenting, depression, anxiety or struggle with some substance use I understand how daunting it can be to think "how will this work out". It takes support, strategy and having a safe space to flush ideas out and process feelings. "

"We experience constant movement and pressure in our careers and personal lives. Change happens in a moment, a transition however is a psychological state that takes place over a longer amount of time. Finding support as an adult, to successfully navigate these transitions, can be a daunting task. Our inner critic turns up the volume, fear, self-doubt and overwhelm can creep in. If you have an inkling of where you want to go, but are just not sure how to get there- coaching can help."

"My clients often come to me, and I find I am best able to support them, during life transitions such as: teenage years, young adulthood, pre coupling/marriage, marriage, becoming a parent, transitions through parenting, mid-life, peri/menopause, loss, grief & aging. The anxiety, sadness, upheaval, exploring, questioning, unknown & often hidden joy of these times in life is where I work best to help my clients. There is suffering in so many ways in life & there is also relief from suffering in also so many ways. I work with my clients to relieve their own suffering with tools that work best for them in their very own unique lives."

"As a mediator, many of my clients are individuals, couples or families that are in conflict, whether they are actively in a legal dispute or otherwise have personal issues with one another. I act as a NEUTRAL third party to help my clients understand the issues they face, identify their interests and possible solutions. I then aid the parties in communication, negotiation, and problem solving methods to move toward mutual resolution. Those who participate in mediation have ultimate control over the outcome of their situation. Mediation has a great success rate, is cost-effective, and can be transformative for many participants. "

"Life calls to us through circumstances, symptoms, intuitions, hopes, and dreams - there is great power in acknowledging these cues. Our challenges are opportunities for even deeper healing and fulfillment. I work in modalities that listen for what is asking to heal and which believe in your ability to do so. Anxiety, addiction, self-esteem, purpose, and meaning are just a few things it can help. If you know that change is possible, but are not sure how, I would love to help you along your journey. There is great power in bringing together the conscious and subconscious; action and compassion."

"I believe in the strength that lies within all of us. Therapist and client begin a collaborative journey to find that strength. This journey takes us on a search of solutions to painful and problematic situations. My belief is the foundation from which I develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients. Together, we utilize our creativity to reshape, redefine, and develop a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and inner strength. I help my clients to understand, persevere, endure, and, ultimately, reclaim their will and sense of purpose. I help people find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems."

I bring 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, specializing in treating couples issues, anxiety, PTSD, relationships/break-ups, life-purpose, creativity, grief/loss, and self-esteem building."

"A good life has both joy and pain. Good times and difficult seasons. Difficult seasons can look like a job you don't feel passionate about, family problems, relationship problems, etc. It is really uncomfortable, but with self-love and healing, these periods can lead to immense growth. If you are having a difficult season right now, you might feel stuck and confused. You might feel like you don’t know what the next step is. Therapy can be a safe haven to rest, feel better, and gain clarity about what to do and how to move forward. Therapy is a place for you to be seen and heard by both you and me. "

"With a desire to be more present and living more intentionally, I collaborate with people who want to unlock their innate wisdom and inner strength. I work with people who hold a strong desire to unpack their emotional baggage and examine the stories they tell themselves and others, even if they are afraid to let go or don't know how. No longer wanting to embody a victim mentality, I help empower people ready to reframe their past life experiences—in order close a life chapter or create a better ending to their story."

"If you feel stuck, are unhappy but not sure why, are not as proactive as you want to be, my therapy addresses these issues in a timely and active way. Sessions are committed to enhancing your ability to identify what may be in the way of achieving your life goals and dreams and identifying steps to take. I work best with clients who are serious about the work, do homework assignments and set short-term and long-term goals. Many of my clients make lasting profound changes in their lives in a short period of time. My focus is treatment that restores lost purpose, commitment and direction."

"I help people who are dealing with: Job stress; heavy feelings surrounding break-ups; artists who have lost their spark and want to find it again-who are navigating between commercial pressures and the ability to have their true voices heard. Intimacy issues, trauma, and love & sex addiction issues as well as other addictive issues are a specialty. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack difficult feelings and to help facilitate emotional healing. *Please note: I am not currently accepting couples for therapy."
