"Everyone, at different points in life, experience circumstances and issues that cause despair, grief, fear, stress, anger, confusion, and a host of other responses that negatively impact the quality of our lives and relationships. My goal is to create a safe and comforting context in which people can share their burdens, overcome specific problems, & heal from psychological injury. Please contact me if you are struggling with such issues as depression, anxiety, loss of a loved one, career transitions, work performance, divorce, spiritual issues, sexual compulsivity, or recent trauma."

"I approach my work with clients with openness, respect, and curiosity. I work collaboratively with you in a reflective process to help you achieve your goals. My style incorporates awareness of the past with a focus on improving satisfaction in the present. I will actively listen and reflect as well as challenge and empower you to direct your own life. Together we will identify your strengths, increase your insight, and develop coping skills that promote positive change."

" I specialize in relationships! I have been a therapist for over thirteen years and continue to learn everyday. I believe therapy is more than simply listening. I will actively listen, reflect, and challenge you, your partnership, or your family to grow. I am also trained in ART which is a procedure that heals using bilateral eye movements to shift sensation and emotion, peeling it away from the images that cause the discomfort."

"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.

"I earned my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary's University. Since graduation I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients from diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and men's mental health. I believe that every person can benefit from therapy and I approach my clients with an open and honest attitude. I strive to facilitate healthy growth for individuals and families that feel stuck, confused, and discouraged."

"With almost 35 years working as a psychologist, I work with a variety of clients struggling with mental health and life issues. Many clients seek my help for anxiety, depression, serious and persistent mental illness and life transitions. My patients include children as young as 7, adolescents, adults and seniors in their 80's. Clients are often referred to me for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relationship issues and sports-related performance concerns. I also have experience working with individuals and families where there are life-threatening health issues, infertility and pregnancy loss for both mothers and fathers."

"My primary goal is to make therapy a safe, collaborative space where choice and possibility are the most important pieces of our relationship. My approach is grounded in the idea that people are the experts of their own lives and that they can access and develop knowledge that will assist them in getting in front of their problems. Additionally, I work from a non-pathologizing, strength-based model of psychotherapy. I view people as full of possibilities, rather than pathology. As a result, I do not locate problems within the individual, but rather, within the culture that surrounds us. "

"When we feel stuck in life everything can feel difficult and like a battle; I believe there is no need to face issues alone. With a collaborative approach, I can help people better understand the life events that have shaped their view of the world. Every individual experiences events that can discourage us. My goal is to help highlight the unique strengths that lie within all of us. I strive to help children/adolescents, families, and adults to recognize the meaning they attach to life experiences. When we understand the meaning we attach to events, we better understand our choices."

"I provide respectful, collaborative psychotherapy for couples, adults and families. Taking a holistic and mindful approach, I can help with an array of relational and emotional concerns including life transitions; identity issues; grief and loss; sexuality and intimacy; family conflict and parenting; pregnancy and postpartum; depression and anxiety; trauma and abuse; anger and violence; blocked creativity, and spiritual connection. "

"Sometimes in life we can feel like we have no control over what is happening, the paths our relationships are taking, or what the future might have in store for us. We can get to a place where we are stuck in a continuous cycle of negative thinking, gloomy feelings, and ineffective behaviors. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, relationship changes/separation, substance use issues, stress management, academic challenges, sports/performance concerns, chronic illness, sexuality/gender identity issues, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum, and life balance."

"I strive to create a safe and warm environment where people can feel heard and understood, and I work to find a balance between supporting and accepting people as they are, and challenging them to step out of their comfort zone to make the changes they desire for a better life. I believe that relationships can be an important part of the healing process, whether these are with friends and family or the therapeutic relationship built in sessions. I believe in taking a collaborative approach, utilizing the strengths and insights of each person. "

"Genuineness, respect, and empathy are the essential components of my therapeutic style. I work with a diversity of issues and have a passion to assist others in reaching their goals and their full potential. When experiencing life's difficulties, sometimes you can feel alone and isolated. By creating a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship we can discover the best solutions for your problems."

"I believe that the most essential keys to reaching our goals are believing in ourselves and knowing that someone believes in us. I work to create a safe, comfortable, trusted, honest, and humorous environment with my clients that encourages creativity, confidence, and motivation. I often use a systemic and strengths-based approach in working with clients and the relationships they have in their lives."

"Finding a new therapist takes courage and energy. I always keep this in mind when I meet a new client and I have a lot of respect for taking the first step. I will take your concerns seriously, will listen with an open mind and heart, and will join you in finding a way forward. Therapy can be a valuable investment and I am honored to support people in feeling better. I tend to work with a lot of college and graduate students, parents, and folks in helping and/or creative professions. I am not taking new clients at this time, but will have openings again in January 2020."

"People come into therapy because they want something to change in their lives--how they feel, how they relate to others, how they handle stress. I enjoy working with people who want to commit themselves to working in therapy; who have the courage to face the important issues; who want to work collaboratively with me to find the solutions to feeling better. I consider myself a guide and coach in this process as we get to know each other. It gives me great joy to watch my clients grow and change and start to enjoy life again."
