"We seek therapy for many reasons. Some need to respond to unexpected changes in their lives, while others seek self-exploration and personal growth. When coping skills are overwhelmed by guilt, doubt, anxiety, or despair, therapy can help. Therapy can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping for issues such as depression, anxiety, lack of confidence, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues,stress management and body image issues. Secondly, I also do clinical supervision for licensure hours and consult on private practice building."

"Is your life not what you thought it would be? Have you had to change how you define yourself due to injury or ailment?"

"I have been working with at-risk and trauma-exposed children, adolescents, and their families for nearly 15 years. My therapeutic approach combines cutting-edge, evidence-based techniques with warmth, genuineness, and a strengths-based perspective. I recognize that many children and families are hesitant to participate in counseling, so I strive to provide a welcoming and collaborative environment that allows clients to feel both comfortable and encouraged when facing life challenges."

"I enjoy working couples, families going through divorce, children who have SED diagnosis, Autism spectrum,grief work as well as a multitude of other concerns. I have always had a passion for working with children. Working with the family system and parents is a natural fit and a large part of my practice."

"It is one of the most profound honors of my life the last 12 years to have people trust me with their deepest wounds and to share their journeys of courage. I have learned the importance of being lost, the language of rain and storms, and the deep echoing of the mourning howl. I believe that by allowing and accepting the mystery of loss with it's own timing, we have a chance to claim our path, our symbols. In order to become whole, the shadow and the light must be recognized, all must be explored."

"Are you struggling to make a change in your life? Does stress, anxiety, or depression feel out of control? My passion is working with adults who have struggled against these issues for too long."

"I have been a child and family therapist since 2008, and have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I believe in a relational approach that considers the individual and their connection with environment, life experiences, personality, needs and strengths. Clients I've worked with have struggled in the areas of damaged attachments, adoption, depression and suicidality, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, life adjustment issues, and trauma [sexual and physical]. I feel passionate about helping people develop hopefulness and connection with themselves and their loved ones, as well as healthy relationship and coping skills that are useful in their lives."

"Clients who come to me are ready to change their life by changing their thought patterns and therefore improving their daily satisfaction with life and relationships. Families who are having a hard time working through behavioral problems in their homes can come to my practice to work together to find behavioral solutions to help their home patterns improve. They are ready to make healthy choices and if they don't know if they are ready they work with me in session to identify core goals of focus."

I have spent the last five years working in a college setting, helping with issues ranging from "what will I do with my life" to clinical mental health concerns."

"Clients tell me they feel heard, understood, and that I'm easy to talk to. Many people who come in to see me are doubting themselves or some aspect of their lives, are struggling with a recent or past trauma, or they don't feel as connected to others as they would like. I will work with you to help you figure out what is keeping you stuck and what you need to feel more confident, more grounded, and to move forward in your life. I work with both couples and individuals."

"I treat psychotherapy and neurofeedback clients ranging from approximately age 6 through adulthood. Their struggles include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts. Much of my work focuses on healing emotional trauma and improving interpersonal relationships. Primary psychotherapy approaches include psychodynamic therapy, and Lifespan Integration (LI). LI is a highly effective method of treating emotional trauma. Regardless of the form of treatment used I am kind, supportive and respectful."

"Adolescence can be a trying time for young people and their families. Power struggles and communication problems create conflicts that seem unresolvable. Add complications from issues like trauma or anxiety and frustrations increase. By creating honest, respectful relationships I've been able to help teens pursue independence in appropriate and healthy ways. Often communication opens and hostility fades. This has been the main focus of my practice. Working with families I have seen the benefits of strengthening couple's relationships and helping parents become their healthiest selves. Whether through managing stress or treating mental illness healthy adults make healthy kids."
