"" We are all broken in some way". There is not one person who does not struggle with something. Knowing this,I am dedicated to helping all populations of clients where they are at. My diverse background makes me suited to understand various needs that exist. I have been a school social worker, hospice social worker, hospital social worker on burn, trauma and ICU team, crisis pregnancy counselor and private practice therapist. Though each experience has brought different views and insights, one common thread that resonates in all is that everyone needs support and that is my main goal to bring to each and every client."

"There are times in life where we may feel overwhelmed or just simply need someone to talk to. In life we have problems at work, or with relationships and we may need someone to help us through certain situations. Your children may be having problems at school or with relationships and may need guidance on how to deal with issues that seem out of their control. You may be dealing with anxiety, substance abuse, anger issues, marital concerns, financial concerns, school problems, parenting issues, grief. I am willing to help empower you and help you make the best decisions for your life."

"Insecurities, traumas, relationship drama, emotional distress--sometimes we get stuck in life's junk and struggle to move beyond it, causing undue pain and suffering. If this has happened to you, you have the power to take back your peace of mind. Let me help you with that. I have a passion to help other's work through life's difficulties to cultivate something better for each one. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults, but I love working with people of all ages. "

"Life can feel like wave after wave is sweeping you under as you fight for that next breath. My heart is for this individual that feels hopeless, silenced, and bruised. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, confidential space to explore those broken pieces of the heart- to move towards living a restored, wholehearted life. My passion is to walk alongside women and teens and collaboratively work towards identifying the root of the issue and developing healthy coping techniques. "

"I believe that every person deserves to feel empowered to live a life free of suffering. My primary therapeutic approach is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which assists people who have difficulty managing high levels of emotion that lead to impulsive or harmful actions. I am committed to assisting my clients in accessing the skills needed to tolerate painful emotions. I place in emphasis on teaching clients tools that can be used the moment they leave the office. I am passionate about helping people gain the tools needed to improve their quality of life at home, work, school, and improving relationships. I have experience working with pre-teens, teens, and adults."

"I work with teens, adults, and couples, who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship/parenting struggles, and trauma. Many of my clients struggle with feeling “good enough” which can lead to lack of motivation, excessive self-doubt, interpersonal problems, feelings of isolation, and worry. Couples I see often struggle with communication, parenting, trust, conflict, co-dependency, power/control issues, disconnection, and infidelity. I also work with parents/young children who have ADHD and/or behavioral issues, using Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) which is well-researched, effective, non-medical ADHD treatment. "

"Hi. Thank you for taking a look at my counseling profile. I love counseling and have been practicing for 30 years. One of the things I've noticed new clients are concerned about is being able to express themselves without being judged, as well as if the experience will be awkward. In all my years of practicing, I've heard almost everything imaginable and judgment is not a part of how I work. Everything in my office is 100% confidential and safe. I know how to ask the right question and keep the conversation flowing."

"I specialize in the treatment of couples and families experiencing parenting, communication and/or infidelity issues as well as treating adolescents and adults with ADHD/ADD. I also have specialized training in helping individuals work through pornography, sex addiction and/or gaming addiction (computer, phone and/or console based video games). I see adolescents, couples and families. I use a solutions-focused and narrative approach; using various techniques and interventions that help my clients build off of their current and past positive behaviors and thought patterns. I am also an independent Love and Logic Facilitator."

"My clients describe me as someone they feel safe and comfortable with, someone they feel they can trust, and someone that genuinely cares for them. I have a strong passion for helping adults with anxiety disorders and/or depression, people who went through abuse/neglect, those struggling with living a full and happy life due to specific phobias, and people that experience adjustment issues due to major life changes. My top priority is building a strong therapeutic bond with you, and providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to work through current struggles."

"Is life feeling overwhelming, you just can't seem to get a handle on it? I'm here to help; I want to help you develop ways to regain control of your life. I will be with you as you grow, heal, and accomplish your therapeutic goals. I have advanced training in working with trauma victims and those struggling with self-harm behaviors. In addition, I work with children and families to help increase relationship satisfaction. Give me the opportunity to help you find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life."

I believe in working with people's strengths to overcome their difficulties."

"Life is hard sometimes. It can feel like you're drowning in the waves. Loss of a great job, death of someone close to you, loss of a friendship or marriage, loss of direction; all these things can make you feel out of control, broken, alone. Maybe, you struggle with anxiety or depressive thoughts. Therapy is a great way to get your life back on track and find some direction. I can help you work through your struggles and set achievable, attainable goals to get you back on track. "

"Are you feeling lonely, down, and/or anxious? Not sure what you are feeling? Do you have a child or a teen who is lost and needs help with bullying, trauma, self esteem, or aggression? Did you experience abuse or trauma, or need to share a challenge you are going through? Counseling or therapy is a safe environment in which one can feel heard and come together with a neutral person, and form a therapeutic alliance. I am very compassionate, non judgmental, empathic, and easy to talk to. Counseling is all about the therapeutic relationship and feeling you are an equal in this partnership."

"I truly believe in each person I work with. I am driven to help you find the skills and solutions you need to accomplish your own goals and wants from life both in the present and for the future. I work with both adolescents and adults who struggle with controlling their emotions, relationships, self harm, and suicidal ideation. I believe in compassion and understanding as necessities in the relationship I develop with each person. I also enjoy building on the strengths each person inherently has within to empower themselves."
