"The ideal client will be someone who comes to counseling motivated to work and willing to increase self-awareness. I have a burden for working with men struggling with sexual addictions, relationship issues, particularly military veterans and families suffering from PTSD and its consequences."

"I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, first helping them feel comfortable talking and working, setting goals together, and using open communication. Together, we use each person's strengths to then begin to make the desired changes. I consider it an honor for clients to trust me to be willing to work and to allow me into their lives therapeutically."

"I think of myself as a compassionate and non-judgmental counselor. I look at counseling and the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration and an opportunity to facilitate a growth experience emphasizing greater self awareness on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I enjoy being able to combine my spiritual background with my strong sense of personal integrity and professionalism in my work helping others. I have a strong background in helping people who are experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, and confusion about their identity, general direction and purpose in life."

"I believe clients in therapy need a competent practitioner, aware of the current best practices/research, yet they also need someone who is genuine, relatable and can apply a sense of humor while working through life's challenges. I provide caring psychotherapy to adults, couples, families and children.I believe my clients are "peers" not "patients" and apply a humanistic style. I have eighteen years experience as a therapist and love my career. My work as a professor and national public speaker also help me to be a competent therapist. I have received positive feedback over the years for my genuineness, competence, humor and compassion."

"Is it time to finally heal some old emotional wounds? Or, have you experienced a traumatic event? I specialize in supporting people in healing from trauma and finding health and well-being in their lives and relationships. I realize that my clients come to my office to talk about some of their deepest pains and experiences. Sometimes they carry shame, fear, and anxiety or depression due to these events. I'll welcome you with an open, warm, and deeply present therapeutic experience. Therapy is designed to provide an emotionally safe and supportive space where we do very sensitive work."

"I can help you work through difficult emotions, relationships, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. I offer CBT and/or Art Therapy to help you learn more about yourself and find your path forward. No, you do not need any art experience at all! My practice is focused on helping you gain insight about yourself and the problem and to reduce stress in the process. If you'd like to incorporate art in your therapy, I would be honored to help."

"Everything you do in life is a "performance" - whether in school, job, or home - and you want to consistently "perform" your best. My goal is to assist you in performing at optimal levels - in relationships, careers, sports, or school. I help you understand who you are, what you desire, and what blocks you from ideal performance. We face these blocks together head on and move to a place where you are living, experiencing and performing YOUR quality life. I have the belief that anything is possible with the right people and the right process."

"Have you recently lost a loved one? Did you know someone whose life was taken by suicide? Every person's grief is unique and I can help you understand yours. I have received specialized training in the areas of grief and loss and am honored every time someone chooses me to help them find hope and healing after a loss. I will take the time to truly hear you, to learn about your loved one, and to customize your sessions to your specific situation."

"As I see it, it is my task to help clients sort things out and make issues clear so they can make decisions they can live with, not just in the short-run but forever and without regret. That is a tall order, but it can be done if gently we unpack the clutter that surrounds a person or persons in an atmosphere that is safe but challenging, focused but unhurried, and with deep appreciation of things important to the individuals."

"Change is possible. As I have spent thousands of hours working with people with all kinds of struggles, I have seen it with my own eyes. For the past 15 years it has been my pleasure to help my clients rediscover hope and find solutions that work for them. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am trained to see the big picture and to help you find ways to get out of your 'stuck system'."

"Are you tired of not getting the help you need? I pride myself on outstanding care and responsiveness, and the work we do together is important to me.

"As a therapist for the past 15+ years, I have seen firsthand the amazing changes that can take place in people's lives through counseling. Whether it is learning how to cope with feelings of stress, depression or anxiety; process feelings of sadness or loss; or find ways to improve relationships or self-esteem, I firmly believe that creating positive change in life is possible. It is a privilege to work with individuals who are striving to become happier, healthier human beings, and it is my honor to provide a safe and supportive space where that can happen."

"Welcome... I offer you 10 + years of clinical practice along with a strong understanding of the natural transitions, loss, and periods of change we all face in our lives. In a compassionate, comfortable environment I strive to give you an opportunity to unplug from the stressors of life so you can begin to focus on your story, your needs, and your wellbeing. Struggling with: loss, conflict, addictions or difficult relationships / dynamics? Or simply feeling like you are not functioning at your best physically or emotionally. Whatever the reason..."

"I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in private practice since 2001. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals as well as for couples. In addition to traditional counseling techniques, I employ an eclectic approach which includes mindfulness training for improving mood and performance. Because of my strong belief in the connection between mind and body, I have received certification in Natural Health Care and can discuss options for improving your mental health through dietary changes. In addition to individuals, I also work with couples and am a Level 2 trained Gottman Therapist."

"Finding the right therapist can be difficult, but essential to making life better. The emphasis on the relationship in a therapeutic encounter is rightly founded. There are few other professional relationships where the connection and trust between client and professional determine the success of the work they do together. Creating this strong working relationship is the foundation of good treatment. I have experience treating adults and children with a variety of concerns ranging from stress/sleep problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, transitions, divorce, family conflict, school problems, and infidelity, to depression, anxiety, bipolar/mood, psychotic, and personality disorders."

"Our office is a warm, friendly, and professional place. Respect and personal diginity are two things I value, and try to make part of everything I do. In session, I usually have an eye on how to make positive and realistic change one day at a time. I often provide homework to challenge clients to be growing outside of our sessions. I understand how difficult it is to connect with a therapist. I offer free consults so you can meet me and see if it is good fit."
