Lately you have been worrying about things all the time and have been frustrated because as hard as you try not to, your anxiety is right there, all the time. Or maybe you have been replaying that event in your mind, you have tried to forget. You notice you are angrier, sadder and more worried. You just want to be able to live your life instead of having this issue get in the way daily. You just need someone to listen to you without judging you. Someone to help you deal with your issues. It would be nice to enjoy the things you used to. To connect with people more than you do now. To be a better you.

I'm looking for clients coping with mental illnesses and living healthy lifestyles. I have experiences working in both inpatient and outpatient settings and can help you learn how to function at your best.

Has your "I do" turned into "I'm not sure"? Or perhaps you've discovered the love you have for your spouse doesn't seem to be enough? Maybe feelings of emptiness are overpowering every area of your life? You want relief from those feelings of loneliness and emptiness, but it seems you can't seem to find it.

Feeling stuck? Needing to make a change in your life? Therapy is a great place to facilitate those changes. Therapy can help you identify the obstacles in your life and give you the courage to meet those obstacles head-on in a safe and supportive environment. Let me help you get unstuck, find your passion, and enjoy your life to its fullest. I like to incorporate writing/journaling in sessions. I believe writing - and, taking the time to write - can be a great way to get to the heart of things.

Real change lies in a person’s willingness to become more of who they are rather than trying to become what they are not. You are not a problem to be solved or fixed. Competent therapy offers no gimmicks, no quick fixes-- what matters is a willingness to explore who you are rather than who you "should" be. I cannot promise quick and easy relief from your suffering. What I can promise is my full attention and engagement. Every difficulty is an opportunity; perhaps not a welcome opportunity but your struggle has meaning—you are not satisfied with the status quo, you have not given up.

The number one thing that makes therapy work is the connection between client and therapist. I want to understand what's happening with you so that I can put my skills to good use and help you to meet your therapy goals. My methods are based on scientific research and on my professional experience as a therapist. Many of the techniques I use with clients are techniques that I have applied in my own life to reduce my own suffering and improve my own happiness. I practice much of what I preach, so I know firsthand that these methods work.

Are you suffering from depression, anxiety, or low self esteem? Are you stuck in old habits? Dissatisfied in your relationship? Stressed at work? With a caring interactive approach I help clients unhook from past emotional habit patterns to create more fulfilling relationships and a happier life. --Through a greater sense of self-awareness, release of past pain, and application of technique, clients can: *Overcome depression, anxiety and low self esteem to express greater confidence and creativity *Reduce anger and conflict to improve communication and build stronger relationships. *Heal past issues, fears, hurts, and mistrust to achieve true intimacy and commitment.

It's exhausting and frustrating when every day seems like a struggle. You have zero energy, you're exhausted, worried and you can't sleep at night. You've tried everything, you want to feel better in the worst way, but just can't seem to get there and you wonder if things will ever change.

I believe mental anguish and emotional pain are matters that not only affect the brain, but permeate through every fiber of the body. Thus, in order for someone to recover and heal completely, a holistic approach is essential. I also believe that every person's healing is different, and I tailor my approach based on thorough assessment and deep listening.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to experience less anxiety? How about wanting to process through depressive symptoms. Maybe there just feels like a roadblock in life you cannot get around and having a new perspective would be beneficial. Have you thought about just feeling less stressed in general? Should you answer yes to any of these questions, or have at least thought about them, maybe now is the time to make a change for the better in your life and begin the therapeutic journey. Because my practice is online, I am only able to accept clients that are Teen to Adults.

I am a highly experienced therapist who helps individuals and couples address challenges, enrich relationships and achieve deep insights into their personality and their emotions. My clients find that I offer a pragmatic, intelligent and empathetic response to their concerns. I use evidence-based therapy that is adapted to individual needs and focused on meaningful change. Unlike larger clinics, I provide direct, responsive communication and flexible scheduling.

I specialize in helping people with mood disorders, complex psychological issues, and ASD. I love working with people on the spectrum, as I find them interesting and full of potential that society attempts to crush. The same goes for people with mood issues. People with the more difficult "disorders" often are those who leave the greatest legacy for society. From Van Gogh to Mozart, people with ASD or mood "disorders" have generated some of the best of humanity. With careful management of such "disorders", we can reduce suffering and enhance the potential. I do offer Telehealth, if that is better for you.

I typically use an interactive approach to treatment, teaming with clients to identify and achieve goals. I have been practicing for over 10 years and I have licensure to treat mental health issues as well as addiction issues. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, as well as families and couples. I also have experience working with military veterans. Often I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques when working with an individual, most commonly including motivational enhancement, CBT and solution focused therapy. I am passionate about helping others and I love to see clients' successes throughout their wellness journey.

Viktor Fankl said that man can endure any “what” for a good enough “why.” This means that, while emotional or physical suffering can be an immense burden, healing can be obtained through a process of discovery and meaning-making. Another favorite expression of mine is that of Dr. Les Greenberg who says that “feelings move us, but meaning is what we live by.” So, while our emotions are at times confusing and even distasteful to us, they complement our hunger for meaning; emotions fuel us with motivation to undertake the necessary change for growth and healing.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

Everyone deserves the chance to speak and be heard in order to have the best possible chance to lead a fulfilling and rewarding life. My goal is to listen and understand what makes you unique, working together to emphasize the strengths and values you already possess to find motivations and set goals to help you lead a meaningful life with the resources you already have. My work focuses on working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I offer extensive counseling services to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationships and family conflicts. These presenting issues may include marriage and/or relationships, parenting, general life decisions, work conflict, self-identity, self-esteem, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, sexuality and sex addictions. I work with clients to discover the root of the problem, construct a treatment plan and guide their growth through various counseling methods in our work together.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, experiencing difficulty with coping, feeling emotionally disconnected, or just feeling stuck? It can be comforting to have someone in your corner who can provide hope, guidance, and support on your journey towards inner peace. My goal is to help you feel empowered, alive, and resilient. I place an emphasis on creating a safe and supportive environment for you to reflect and grow towards your goals.
