"I welcome your rough edges, tender places, inner wisdom, and the search for more fulfillment.

"I have worked extensively with clients (All genders) struggling with Eating Disorders (Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, ARFID, OSFED) negative body image, dysphoria, as well as mood, anxiety and spiritual related issues. My experience in Residential, PHP, IOP, and Outpatient treatment settings has given me the discernment to meet clients where they are and partner with them to move forward. My goal is for you to feel an embodied sense of vitality in connection to yourself and your relationships. All patterns of behavior have served as some form of adaptive coping, so I am both gentle and empowering in learning to let them go."

"Welcome! I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and walking alongside them in their healing. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between the family and therapist, that each client has the resiliency and resources they need already within, and that it is our job to uncover them. My work with clients considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing relational distress, sex concerns, infertility/pregnancy issues, transracial/transnational family dynamics, processing trauma, religion and spirituality, body-image concerns, or low self esteem. "

"Starting therapy can be daunting, so I encourage you to reach out, even if you're uncertain where to start. I've witnessed profound impacts in my work with people, where shame becomes self acceptance and overwhelm becomes relief and ease. I welcome everyone who wants to work with me, and especially welcome those who may not have felt comfortable in therapy before, possibly due to experiencing marginality, societal oppression, or being shy. I also tend to work well with over achievers, sensitive introverts, and perfectionists struggling to find a stable sense of self worth. My practice is anti oppression and trauma informed."

"Finding joy and fulfillment in the midst of life's wear-and-tear, pain, traumas, and setbacks is difficult. And despite your best efforts, sometimes challenges and difficulties don't resolve on their own. This can be painful, frustrating, and even terrifying at times. When you have the right person to work with who can help guide you, your situation will feel more hopeful, manageable, and even exciting. You can be understood, understand yourself, and experience the changes you seek."

"I enjoy working with clients who feel that their minds have become unmanageable. This experience often arises from a belief that inner conflict and complexity is a problem to be solved rather than a state of affairs to be understood and befriended. Sometimes this unmanageability shows up as anxiety, where the mind dreads bad outcomes and wont allow you to enjoy your life. Other times as depression, where the mind is mired in hopelessness, despair, or resentment. Addictions of various sorts can also arise from this state of affairs, whereby we try to distract or quiet our minds through destructive patterns of behavior. "

" I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience. I work with individuals of all ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations, ranging in age from 18 through 65+. My philosophy stems from a belief that life is an ever-changing process that provides the opportunities for individuals to develop into their own person; however, due to trauma or other painful or problematic issues, we may become stuck. My approach is warm, interactive, collaborative, and individualized drawing on different therapeutic models which may include mindfulness, psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and EMDR approaches."

"You may appear "fine" to those around you, but inside your emotions are intense and seem out of your control. You feel disconnected from your friends, your family and your life. It's overwhelming and you wonder how you got to this place. You desperately want to just, "let it go," but you don't know how. Right now, you're barely able to keep your head above water and if you don't get help soon, it feels like you might go under."

"I believe that equity and trust are essential to working together toward finding solutions and gaining awareness. While I am informed on a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I use what is best for each client. I tend to lean towards using Solution-Focused, Structural, and Narrative therapy styles. I like for our work together to be interactive and empowering. In my free time you can find me interacting with water in any way I can - be it a river, the ocean or a pool."

"Welcome! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have a passion for working with teens and adults struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance use, major life transitions, and relationship difficulties. That being said, I also feel that no issue is too big or too small to be explored in therapy. "

"Much of my practice is built around working with teenage boys and their families. I also work with adult individuals. Adolescence can be a challenging stage of life for families, yet, it's also a developmental phase filled with wonderful, inspiring change. I enjoy helping teens and families navigate the changes of adolescence, while working to engage parents around their teenager's change process. My typical clients are teens/families who are struggling with adapting to the shifting roles and responsibilities of the adolescent life stage. I also see adults who are presenting with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues."

"Over thousands of years, philosophers have developed tools to explore the good life--what makes life meaningful, joyful, and fulfilling. As a professional philosopher, I draw upon those tools to empower you think clearly, live purposefully, and choose confidently. In our sessions, I offer friendly and accessible conversation, compassionate listening, and a healthy dose of humor. Together, we investigate your deepest assumptions about what is true and important so we can challenge what is not working, develop what is, and find greater order, harmony, and power in your thoughts and actions. We awaken and cultivate your inner philosopher."

"****Accepting new clients.**** As a clinician I help people struggling with self-confidence/ self-esteem issues. When we struggle with relational, career, or social problems as a result of our self-confidence it can often lead us to depression. We feel stuck and hopeless that things will never change. We all have at one time, experienced overwhelming or negative thoughts about ourselves. However, for some of us, it can be difficult to get out of our head to be present with those around us. I want you to know that you are not alone and I am here to help you feel better about yourself. "

"You’re feeling stuck. Racing jumbled thoughts, worry, feeling out of control, and maybe even panic attacks are all starting to pile up. Or maybe you have self-doubt and a sense of hopelessness because things are not the way you want them to be even though you’ve tried everything you can think of to make things better, but it’s not working. Why isn’t it resolved yet? Bottom line is, every now and then you need support from someone who has the knowledge, training, and personal experience to help you with something like this. "

"My approach to counseling strives to take into account the whole person: internal and external strengths, as well as internal and external brokenness. I believe counseling is a unique experience where strengths are activated and brokenness healed -- as a result, clients commonly experience relief, clarity, and renewed purpose. My style of counseling is warm and engaging. It is also focused. "

"As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, one of my primary intentions is to help my clients understand, respond to, successfully cope with, and make meaning of the difficulties they're going through. If you're dealing with symptoms of depression or anxiety, the impact of trauma or abuse, grief, or you suffer from symptoms of ADHD or Bipolar give me a call and let me help you achieve positive change, greater wellness, stability, and enrichment in life. I'm also a veteran of the US military, and so am uniquely qualified to understand the needs of veterans and their problems. I accept most major health insurance and private pay clients."
