"I love my work as a couples' counselor. I'm a Gottman Seven Principles Program Educator. I have over 20 years experience doing individual and couples therapy, and 15 years in private practice. I help couples improve communication, rekindle intimacy and improve awareness of patterns which may result in defensiveness, or feeling "not heard" by your partner. In individual therapy, I create a warm environment where my clients feel comfortable to discuss their issues. Together we develop goals & strategies for cultivating positive changes. In couples work, we address problematic communication to change those patterns from ineffective to effective habits & behaviors."

"I am a board-certified psychiatrist with a practice focused on psychotherapy. I treat adults seeking help with a variety of emotional concerns including difficulty with relationships, self-esteem, limiting patterns of behavior, or symptoms like anxiety and depression. My approach involves getting to know you as a whole person and exploring the nature of your distress in a thoughtful, collaborative, and creative way."

"I am a psychologist and psychoanalyst, in practice for 18 years. I see individuals, adolescents, and couples. Psychotherapy is, as I see it, an opportunity to address unresolved issues and conflicts as they arise in the here-and-now of life and in the therapy relationship. For this reason, it's important to look at the various ways and places where symptoms show up and work to understand the underlying meanings of these. This approach can take some time but its rewards include a depth of self knowledge and a more rich and meaningful life with oneself and with others."

"Narcissistic abuse is about the loss and damage of your identity. It is the psychologically abusive relationship you are in or the heartbreaking childhood you grew up with that has now left you suicidal and ashamed. Narcissistic abuse recovery is about discovering and reclaiming your identity and life purpose. It is about making you whole and empowered to live the life you would hope to live. It is about setting up boundaries and learning how to take care of yourself. Most importantly, it is about bringing generations of abuse and dysfunction to an end. We will get to the root of the issue. There is hope for your life."

"I strive to create a safe, respectful space in which we can work together to understand the current problems and conflicts impacting your life, and identify self-defeating patterns that keep you from reaching your full potential. We will watch to see how and when these patterns occur in the therapeutic process itself and work to trace problems back to their roots in earlier periods of your life. By gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves, we attain greater freedom to choose how we wish to live, to strengthen our relationships and find joy in life."

"Hello, I imagine you are here because something isn't quite right in your life and you are seeking guidance to make positive changes. As you explore what therapy has to offer you, more clarity emerges that you are embarking on a journey into your inner life. In therapy, you will have a chance to examine the issues you face and learn new tools and skills to deepen your mind-body connection"

"Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed and confused? Experiencing anxiety and wanting more out of life but not sure what? Do you feel like you have a purpose, but unclear what it is or how to get there? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in helping adults, couples and adolescents during challenging times. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, loss and grief, or low self esteem. We will work collaboratively in a respectful environment to increase your awareness, resolve conflict and decrease self sabotaging behaviors. Often, just making the decision to call is the most difficult part."

"People come to me with a wide variety of concerns; including troubled relationships, grief and loss, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I listen in a deep respectful way to your unique experiences, provide clear guidance and a safe place to explore your hidden and possibly painful feelings and thoughts. We can explore your present and past relationships and come to understand how they influence you now. Our work can help free you to make changes in how you are living now by loosening these threads to your past. "

"I work with persons who are having adjustment difficulties, and who experience stress and anxiety while making life transitions. I treat sexual difficulties or lifestyle issues from a sex positive perspective. I work with wishing to change specific habits (smoking, overeating, etc.); or to reduce stress and anxiety. I also work with those who have culturally unpopular or unsupported life styles, and who experience conflict, marginalization, or disempowerment."

"Welcome to my psychotherapy practice, helping individuals, families and couples develop healthy, productive, and satisfying lives and relationships. I provide collaborative, in-depth talk therapy with individuals and couples dealing with sometimes painful issues ranging from depression, anxiety, loss and trauma to trouble with relationships, and difficult life transitions. In addition, I have extensive experience and training providing family therapy to effectively resolve relational, developmental and parenting problems."

"As we walk through life, we sometimes encounter a difficult problem that feels impossible to solve. Although facing such a challenge can be extremely confusing and painful, it may also be an invitation to recognize an old habit, belief, relationship pattern, or lifestyle that no longer serves you and a time to explore new possibilities. I am honored to be able accompany and guide my clients on this sacred journey of healing, growth, and discovery. "

"If you're going through a difficult transition, experiencing a loss of meaning, struggling with anxiety, depression, anger or unresolved trauma, or struggling in your relationship, I'm here to help."

"Our life experiences impact who we are and who we become. The positive experiences stay with us, but the negative experiences stay with us as well. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and our current relationships. Therapy can be helpful in giving each person a deeper understanding of who they are and how their relationships and experiences have impacted them. My approach to treatment is to look for the root cause of the discomfort or pain the individual or couple is experiencing in order to help create lasting change."

"Therapy is an opportunity for personal development in a safe, nonjudgmental, respectful, private, and supportive environment. It is natural to feel overwhelmed at times and it is not a sign of weak character to seek help. Through therapy we can learn to manage our emotions more effectively, improve our relationships and communication, bolster our confidence and self-esteem, and minimize our distress. In my work, I strive to create a comfortable environment in which I can assist clients in identifying thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and recurring patterns of behavior that may be impinging on the capacity to experience and create a fuller, more satisfying life."

"Are you anxious, depressed, having relationship issues? Are you going through a loss or life transition? Are you seeking more meaning in your life? Would you like someone who understands these issues, is honest and caring in the context of helping you move forward? Do you desire someone who has done their own emotional work & will honor your struggle while helping? Do you want to feel valued, safe and understood? Do you need someone to push you a bit into what you know you can do? Is it important someone listens and builds trust with you? Should someone see your strengths & potential solutions? Is spirituality an important aspect of your life? I bring a holistic approach, both practical & spiritual which includes emotions, thoughts, behavior. I utilize a variety of techniques. I offer the healing relationship described above. I can help you live more deeply and fully. Our "problems" can be guides that lead to greater health & a richer life."

"I enjoy helping couples and individuals improve their communication skills. I will help you to develop a balance between increased understanding of areas you may be struggling with (such as defensiveness in your partner or yourself, or lack of intimacy) and the development of new skills to improve the quality of your life and your relationships. I have completed training in Couples Therapy with Drs. John and Julie Gottman as instructors. I have also taken further training to become a Gottman Seven Principle Educator, teaching the skills they utilize in improving communication with couples."

"Solid, honest, intimate and trustworthy relationships are key to a more fulfilling life. I specialize in understanding and improving relationships with oneself, partner, children and/or parents. I help clients become more aware of what is important to them, build up their sense of themselves, and increase their confidence."

"Are you working towards a fulfilling life but feel stuck or overwhelmed? Are you hurting inside and unsure of where to turn? Most of our struggles stem from our relationships with others and we often need tools for healing these wounds. Although talk is helpful, the research shows that tapping into the right brain where emotions are housed is vital in transforming long-standing issues or limiting beliefs. Utilizing Experiential approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, inner parts work, and Somatic therapies we can heal the mind and body. "

"One thing I did not learn growing up was how to understand what was really going on for me. I spent years not knowing how to listen to my own feelings or what to do once I found them. And I am still learning. A little more all the time. I have spent the past decade studying how to become aware of the subtle signals in a situation and how to follow them in a way that shows who we really are and what we really want. The learning and unlearning this takes has become my devotion. Being with others and doing this together had become something I love. "

"We each have our own unique life story but the one desire we share is to be happy. Too often our happiness is buried beneath traumas and unhealthy relationships.I believe that one of the most important aspects of the process of change is rooted in the working relationship between the psychotherapist and the client. There are many different methods I may use to help my clients overcome the problems they wish to address. My approach is relaxed, down to earth, honest and direct. I value authenticity in my therapeutic relationships and I have an appreciation for spirituality. I look forward to meeting you where you are."
