I have been in private practice for over 37 years. I have special expertise in psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have extensive training in hypnotherapy, eating disorders, habit control, panic and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, Internal Family systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with women from diverse backgrounds, same sex couples, adolescents and children. I have been given the opportunity to work with different groups of people from many countries and belief systems. I have worked in both the secular and religious arenas and have provided spiritual integration care for people of many religious traditions and those with no religious beliefs as well. I have experience working with both children and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss and divorce.

When our emotions control too much of our lives we can feel powerless and desperate, and it can be difficult to achieve our ideal life or even improve our situation. I aim to give a safe and welcoming space for individuals to grow awareness and skills to better manage emotions, take back control of their lives, and reach their goals. Partnering with a counselor to work through depression, anxiety, and intense urges can help by gaining much-needed support and understanding, increasing awareness and insight into our emotions, and forming a clearer path towards wellness and connection.

I specialize in Women's issues, particularly, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, as well as, Social, Life Adjustment Issues, Grief & Loss, and LGBTQ issues, using an Existential-Humanistic approach. I provide treatment to females only at this location.

Have you ever asked yourself “is this what it is supposed to be like?” Feel like your needs are not being met, perhaps you don’t know what YOUR needs are let alone you spouse’s? Shouldn’t it be easier to talk to the person you love than anyone else? Has your trust been broken? Are you fighting to get passion you once had in your relationship back? Is an evening at home for you and your significant other spent staring at each other’s phone. Would you like to find that connection you once had or perhaps you have never been able to develop such a connection. Learn the skills necessary to navigate the ups and downs of a lifetime

Do you struggle with balance? No, not the standing on one foot while juggling type of balance, but the type that encompasses finding the “gray area”. “Either I’m successful, or I’m a failure”, “Either I’m good, or I’m bad”, “Either I’m perfect, or I’m worthless”. Sound familiar? Whether it includes food/body image/exercise, parenting, work, or social life, I promise balance exists, you just might need a little help finding it. This is where I can help.

Are you working really hard at life without the outcomes you want? It can feel exhausting. Without the ability to effectively manage and cope with life's demands, a person's world can become a place filled with missed opportunities and experiences; a place of unrelenting anxiety, suffering and feelings of isolation. Change is hard and change is possibIe. It's about learning skills to do differently to live differently in a manner of your choosing. I'm a therapist who uses behavior-focused, outcome-driven treatments to address the symptoms of OCD, OCPD, PTSD, anorexia nervosa, anxiety and depression to increase quality in your life.

Adversities can rob you of peace and affect your ability to stay on life’s course. The distress experienced in today’s world can be associated with toxic stress, cycles of trauma, depression, grief, fear or experiences of racial and social injustices. The way you respond to life’s difficulties matters. True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to explore and face frightening or limiting beliefs that may live beneath emotions causing discomfort and pain.

I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental environment where your well-being and personal growth are my priority. After empathically listening as you identify, explore, and gain understanding of the issues you are facing, we will work together to establish manageable goals that can help you better utilize your internal strengths and external resources while creating meaningful, positive changes in your life.

I am dedicated to helping others improve the quality of their lives. I have a deep respect for those who come into my office and want to help them process and overcome the issues that are causing them pain. What I have come to know in having done this work for the past six years is that we all experience pain in our own unique and profound ways. I provide a collaborative and compassionate approach, in which we work together to help you gain insight into what is getting in the way of you having a fuller, healthier and happier life.

I am passionate about working with individuals & families struggling with everyday stressors. This could look like grief, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, family conflict, interpersonal relationship struggles or something different. I approach counseling as a partnership where we both bring expertise to the table; you know yourself better than anyone & I am here to help guide & challenge you based on the goals we set together. Often times when we're seeking counseling we're looking for relief of pain or symptoms. My hope is that we can accomplish that together. With youth, I focus on working with middle school ages & older.

I offer flexible assessment and intervention depending on the needs of each individual client. In some cases, that may be a very brief evaluation to diagnose or help differentiate between ADHD, Learning Disorder, mood disorder, etc. In other cases, a full neuropsychological evaluation may be warranted, e.g. to inform intervention or in special cases such as applying for testing accommodations. I also offer Cognitive Function Intervention, the main goal of which is generally to teach the client coping strategies that work for them to help manage their specific areas of weakness, while also capitalizing on their areas of strength.

Are you stressed by substance use problems or someone else's addicted behavior? If your reading this, you may be feeling concerned, worried, in need of strategies for handling stress, relationship dynamics, anxiety & tension. Has something distressing happened that you need to talk about? You can thrive with increased self-focus, more flexible thinking, stronger self-care. I work with adolescents, adults, families/couples effected by mental health &/or substance use problems, codependency, trauma, grief/loss, self-care and coping issues.

My approach dives "head first" into current obstacles you are comfortable tackling, but also aims to view the past with acceptance, kindness and curiosity. Together, we can build trust, identify issues and goals, and most importantly, discover your strengths! I never undervalue the role of biological, environmental, and psychological factors and how they influence perceptions, abilities, etc.

As part of a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, my service includes evaluation of multiple cognitive domains including memory, problem solving/reasoning, visual-spatial processing, language, basic motor skills, emotional status, and assessment of attention and academic functioning (ADHD, LD), as indicated. Findings from the neuropsychological evaluation are used to generate recommendations to assist in treatment planning across a variety of settings as well as suggesting compensatory strategies for any identified cognitive weaknesses and identifying resources for families. I offer timely and thorough evaluations, conduct individualized feedback with families, and provide a summary of the findings and recommendations.

Your flourishing is my utmost concern as your therapist. I believe that we, as humans, thrive best when we are deeply known and accepted. Our greatest buffer against feelings of loneliness, depression, and chronic-anxiety are healthy relationships. I enjoy working with those interested in developing healthier relationships with themselves and their significant others (family, friends, partner, etc.).

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life

My goal is to help you gain insight, awareness and relief while implementing changes that will improve your quality of life. As a licensed therapist and a board-certified biofeedback clinician, I use counseling techniques with biofeedback equipment to help you visualize and become aware of involuntary processes which you use and affect you. (e.g. Heart rate, breathing, skin temperature, muscle tension, etc... ) With this new information, new and/or different insights arise, allowing you to implement desired changes. This is an interesting journey and the new skills learned are yours forever.

I am a strong ally to couples, parents and individuals who want to build stronger relationships. I know if we can’t connect with ourselves, we can’t connect to others. I believe whole-heartedly our emotions arising from conflict become our spark for change. I have witnessed first hand how people can evolve, change and grow. My approach is collaborative, direct, compassionate and educational. As a result, my hope is you have the opportunity to experience relationships in a whole new fulfilling way. To quote one client directly, "Evonne's straightforward approach to life is refreshing, uplifting and without doubt, life-changing.
