"So, you are thinking about therapy for you or a loved one? I would like to welcome you to your first step to a new journey. Choosing the right therapist can be intimidating and overwhelming. It's important for you or your loved one to feel safe and comfortable in a therapeutic environment. Having over nineteen years of experience in the mental health field and over seven in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life. "

"When your thoughts become difficulty to control and worry takes over, therapy may help. Feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, and insecure do not have to be part of your daily life. Work demands, college demands, parenting responsibilities, and being a good partner all come with a lot of pressure. Therapy provides you the time and space to work through these issues and to create a plan to reduce or solve the problems as they arise. "

"You have taken the first step toward your own healing as counseling offers a non-judgmental and safe environment to receive the support you need. Coping with life’s stressors is challenging and can leave you feeling lost, exhausted and even hopeless. But you are not alone and there is hope! It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on this journey to reaching your goals by helping you identify and remove or better manage obstacles that are standing in the way. "

"Healing is a process that begins with your decision to act. You do not have to be in pain alone. A professional therapist can guide and support your journey through skilled, evidenced-based techniques. I am a Licensed Counselor with more than fifteen years of experience with children, adolescents, and adults with a broad range of concerns. I am a compassionate listener and my main goal is to help you find your solid center and emotional balance. I am intuitively skilled at cutting through confusing dynamics and reactivity to identify core issues."

"I've had over 20 years of experience in the field, working with many issues including a variety of sexual issues, abuse, crisis intervention, anxiety, depression and anger. I work with both youth and adults."

"I believe that people are resilient as I witness it every day. However, life can be challenging. Whether the challenge is a situational stressor, unexpected event, a transition, life experience, personal history, relationships, or our own internal struggle, these challenges can impact our lives and functioning in unexpected ways that even the most resilient person can have difficulties coping with or processing. Therapy can be helpful in addressing life's difficulties and making our emotional pain transformative. I also believe that for therapy to be helpful, the client's emotional safety and fit between the client and therapist are critical."

"Things can easily get overwhelming. Before you know it, everything seems to fall apart. You try each day to get things back on track, to worry less, to force on a smile but nothing works. Other people may seem bothered by you or maybe you can't stand being around people anymore. Either way, your relationships are hurting and so are you. Nothing feels like it used to. Therapy can help you try to get back to your normal self, maybe even better than before."

"Today's world is stressful - balancing one's emotions and the demands of this fast-paced world can be challenging. Depression and anxiety symptoms are painful to us and those that love us. Likewise, trauma can foster hopelessness and fear. Through counseling and treatment, clients can begin to grieve and heal. Using a strengths-based approach, I work closely with clients to enhance functioning and wellbeing. My goal is to increase the likelihood clients will meet their own personal goals. We work together to facilitate behavior change within a supportive and empathetic environment to promote healing and growth."

"Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed by the stressors of everyday life, it helps to know that help is available. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who will listen without judgment, and offer support through life's struggles. I believe that the counseling experience should be a positive one, in which a trusting professional relationship is established between counselor and client."

"If you're looking for a comfortable, safe and authentic therapeutic environment free of judgment and conducive to healing, look no further! My energy and passion for the mental health profession are evident by the unconditional positive regard I provide to every client that I encounter. I have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns.

By providing a safe, nurturing atmosphere; adults, children, and families are able to learn appropriate techniques to decrease distress while improving their mental health. I believe achieving a healthy mental health balance is important in all aspects of life."

"Within each one of us is the strength to change, the ability to become the ideal self we imagine. However, the challenges we face can make accessing that strength difficult and obscure our vision of that person we want to become. My goal in therapy is to help you tap into your own unique abilities to tackle whatever struggles you are facing. The foundation of my counseling style is one of empathy, warmth, and acceptance. I combine this with practical techniques based on principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to utilize in your day-to-day life."

"I am interested in learning about why you are seeking therapy and how I can help.I work with children,adolescents, adults, groups and families with varied backgrounds."

"Reaching out for help is a big step and I acknowledge the courage in your efforts to find healing. It is my true belief that difficulties in life are inevitable, but suffering is optional; there is help. With a patient, warm, and empathetic ear, you will receive my undivided attention as I attempt to help you find your inner peace. The counseling environment is warm, collaborative, and designed to foster healing and growth. As your therapist, my entire focus would be to remain present with you as I express my genuine regard for your wellbeing."

"Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be."

"WORK. LIFE. BALANCE. If you are driven and ambitious or a passionate creative, we can work together toward a balance among the professional, personal, and inner aspects of your life. You might also want to work with me to develop concrete social strategies to navigate the challenging interpersonal dynamics of a competitive workplace. My area of expertise is identity development. I have a strong background helping people manage issues related to personal and social identity, crisis/trauma, substance abuse, and the emotions that can underlie destructive behavior. Depending upon your needs and beliefs, I also address the role of spirituality."
