I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an integral part of the process of improving your life and it is my goal to assist you in working towards your goals while building a relationship of collaboration, accountability, and trust. "

"I have fifteen years of experience as a psychotherapist, partnering with men and women to address a wide range of concerns.

"I have an integrative approach to treating individuals and I focus on compassionate self-acceptance and mindfulness in the process of healing. I find worth in learning the language of our nervous system in order to identify our needs and the process of self regulation. We have the tendency to create poor habits to protect ourselves from pain which inevitably exacerbates unwanted mental health symptoms. Clients have mentioned that they appreciate my humor as part of the therapeutic process. It is important that the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for you in your journey to maintain balance and health. "

"(My caseload is currently full. To be added to my waiting list please email me). I seek to provide clients with an empathetic, compassionate, and respectful experience. Emotional well-being sometimes requires the resolution of past interpersonal and emotional trauma, whether "large t" or "small t" trauma. Problems and symptoms often have an underlying "emotional truth" or protective function. Therapy is about recognizing the patterns, identifying relevant past experiences and associated beliefs, and then creating the opportunity for emotional learning to be transformed. We now know the brain's neurocircuitry can change."

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families, working in both office based and home based settings. My specialization is adolescent behavior problems, depression and anxiety in adolescents and adults, and family therapy."

"I enjoy working with people who want to learn about themselves and their relationships and develop insight into their behavior. It isn't easy to ask for help. Sometimes, when we aren't able to solve things on our own, therapy can be a great resource. Clients tell me that I help them make the changes they want. I believe in providing you a safe and supportive place to explore your life. I have twenty years of experience and am committed to assisting you understand yourself and grow. People I've worked with have described me as warm and easy to talk to."

"Do you long for greater fulfillment at work? Are you considering a career change? Do you want to apply your professional skills and strengths in more rewarding and competitive ways? Drawing on more than 20 years experience in business consulting and career development, the focus of my counseling is on the transitions - planned and unplanned, that we encounter in life.

"As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 20 years experience in the mental health field, 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. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals."

"Life is filled with many ups and many downs. Unfortunately, it is the downs that we tend to focus on which can lead us to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and hopeless. I respect and validate the struggles my clients have endured and help them realize they have the ability to make change and live a better life. My goal is for my clients to gain knowledge, coping strategies, and to feel empowered to overcome challenges. I work with my clients to make treatment as simple, realistic, and light hearted as possible."

"I have been working 15+ years with young children (ages 3-10), preteens, teens, as well as a families and adults. My areas of expertise include working with youth and adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, poor coping skills, behavioral and academic difficulties, as well as life transitions, family conflicts and parenting challenges. My root philosophy is cognitive-behaviorally based (our thoughts & behaviors are connected and affect each other). I use an eclectic approach using tools from a wide range of theories. I'm committed to treating the whole person and not just a diagnosis or label."

"I particularly enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with, or are resistant to traditional therapy. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and for many, it can be difficult to express these feelings using only words. Instead, we see changes in behavior which are often concerning for loved ones, and confusing for the individual. When working with clients, I frequently incorporate experiential activities to support them as they process experiences, discover individual strengths, and develop new skills to move through life with confidence. "

"For over 25 years, I have felt privileged to partner with parents, teachers, children and adolescents in resolving the problems of youth and families."

"Are you in a difficult place, struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues? Are you confused about what to do next, or how to get out of the pattern? I am here to walk with you on this journey of discovery. I believe in people's ability to change. Even asking for help is a brave place to be. Through counseling we learn to live a full human experience - joy and sorrow, triumph and failure, grief and connection."

"Are you a teen searching for a sense of peace and direction? Are you struggling to hold it all together as a parent?

I also appreciate that asking for help is often difficult and uncomfortable. I am experienced, approachable, and I enjoy working collaboratively with people from all walks of life."

"Wellness is more than an absence of problems; it is an experience of living life to the fullest. Recognizing that the resources for healing and negotiating interpersonal conflicts already exist within us, I rely on a sensitive understanding of each individual and the unique abilities they can further develop to achieve their goals."

"Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and that is something to be admired. Being strong doesn't mean we have to work through everything on our own. I practice from the belief that no matter how stuck or lost you may feel, growth and healing are always possible. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight into your more vulnerable parts of self, expand your perspective, heal and ultimately move towards self-acceptance and a more fulfilling life."
