"My hope is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space for individuals and families that come to my office. I specialize in working with individuals affected by trauma and chronic depression, anxiety, panic, shame, and issues related to self-worth. I welcome clients from all walks of life (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation). My approach focuses on building on individual strengths, as well as internal and external resources. You are the expert on your life and needs."

"Have you had a recent "awakening" in your life? Seeking to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to life is weighing on your heart. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, and a deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (divorce, moving, job change, etc). Or you have a health situation that isn't resolving, despite trying every tool in your box. If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are mind, body, & spirit."

"Because I believe we grow and learn throughout our life, I delight in working with all people. I see therapy as a supportive environment created for the purpose of encouraging one another in times of need, as well as joy. I have specialized experience working with children and families, empowering each during tough transitions such as toddlerhood and adolescence, while collaborating during unexpected and challenging issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and more. I utilize play, narrative, feminist, and mindfulness therapies to encourage hope and develop authentic connections with each person I see."

"I believe pursuing therapy is a very courageous act and feel honored to provide a space for this vital work. Common challenges that I help with include depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, chemical dependency, and eating disorders. I employ therapeutic styles rooted in Mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Building an alliance that includes collaborative effort and mutual trust is critical in my work with clients. My aim as a clinician is to help clients uncover their own answers and their own truth, to gain greater clarity in moving toward their higher self, and their innate capacity for healing. "

"Life can be challenging. Sometimes these challenges come from outside of us (hurts others have caused us through their actions) and other times our challenges come from within (frustrating behavior patterns we just can't seem to shake, patterns of thinking about ourselves and the world around us that cause us needless suffering). When these challenges become too great and leave us feeling afraid, angry, confused or overwhelmed, therapy can be helpful. In my work with clients I strive to instill hope, foster resiliency, and nurture a sense of empowerment and personal agency."

"Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you. "

"Life gets "lifey" sometimes and we can find ourselves needing extra help. Whether it's life transitions or something more, I am here to help you tackle the barriers that stand in your way of a happy and healthy life. I believe in a holistic approach which explores all facets of one's life experiences. This enables us to identify barriers and address how to work through them to create a fulfilled life. Included in my specialty is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, and eating disorders. Additionally, I am also passionate about working new parents and postpartum mothers."

"Whether you are struggling with self-esteem, weight loss/gain, low mood, anxiety, food, relationships, or questioning your place in life, I can help. It is easy to find yourself keeping up on appearances; not only trying to look your best physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Learning how to balance what you need/want and what the world is asking of you is possible and will create space for you to grow into a more authentic you."

"I am passionate about my calling to contribute to the field through work with Couples Therapy, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Stress Management. My specialties also include Counseling for May/December Couples coping with age-related issues, Interracial Couples Counseling, and Blended Families along with Adult and Child ADD/ADHD. I am deeply committed to integrating my understanding of Neuropsychology and Psychophysiology into our work together. Neuropsychology, which is the correlation between emotions, behavior, and cognition as it relates to brain function."

"Finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable is essential for a successful outcome. Clients have told me that I am easy to connect with and tend to put people at ease quickly. Creating a warm, respectful and non-judgmental atmosphere is my first priority. I also feel that laughter/humor can be very therapeutic when appropriate!"

"After experiencing a devastating series of personal, relational, occupational, family, social and spiritual obstacles in my life, my self-talk was often times self-defeating. I was discontent, lacking purposeful meaningful contact with others and felt empty inside. Instead of accepting my reality and the changing interaction between the environment, others and myself - I was caught between staying the same or recognizing and embracing change. Whether you are in a time of transition or a time of pain, I believe that we all have the tools we need to walk toward a loving and meaningful life."

"I have the awesome privilege of getting to work with teens and families all day long. I often meet teens who are uncomfortable with the idea of going to therapy. If your teen works with me, I will work closely with them to ensure that therapy with me isn't uncomfortable. I read teens well & will work hard to help your teen have a positive therapy experience. Teens are accepted in my practice for who they are in the world & they have told me that this acceptance is helpful to them during a time of intense growth & change."

"I truly believe that all human beings have the ability to be mentally well; however, I recognize there are life experiences that can affect the human spirit deeply, guiding you to believe you are damaged, unlovable, or mentally unwell. It is my passion to guide people back to seeing themselves and life through a more positive lens where hope can be awakened and where peace, security, contentment, and joy can be found. I believe all people are affected by life's hardships differently, however we all have one thing in common: the ability to be well."

"*Please note: end of September 2019-early January 2020 NLC will not be taking on new clients due to maternity leave. Greetings! I am passionate about working with individuals, families, and youth. I believe that everyone holds the key to healing and finding new pathways of happiness and success. I empower clients to see their strengths and work from a model that focuses on growth. I like to incoporate mindfulness, gratitude, and goal setting into my sessions. I am here to lead and guide, and unveil the authenticity and power that lives within each person.

"I am passionate about working with families, couples, and individuals who are managing both physical and mental health conditions or couples/families going through various life transitions, and relational stress. We don't exist in isolation, especially when on the long journey of chronic health care. I work within an integrated and collaborative care model, viewing the problem from a holistic standpoint and alongside other members of the care team in order to best serve all areas of the client's life. What does this chapter of life look like? What is possible?"

"Are you feeling anxious about your relationships, work, or how to maintain self care in a fast, stressful world ? Are you experiencing grief from losses or trauma? Do you take care of others more than yourself? Would you like someone safe to process your thoughts and feelings with? I'm an experienced mental health practitioner who offers compassionate services to clients across the life span. I also teach the Gottman Bringing Baby Home Program for expectant parents."

"Therapy is not surgery; you don't go to sleep and wake up with all of your problems solved. The sweat and strain and heavy lifting are mostly yours. But with this, however, you can feel more satisfied with therapy when actively involved in the sessions. It is my role to work with your motivation and continue to foster this growth towards positive change. I operate from a person-centered approach, which emphasizes being genuine, providing unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding in the efforts to foster our therapeutic connection to enhance this emotional and powerful relationship."
