"You can be happy and healthy! I believe there is power and potential in all of us for healing and growth. I appreciate the courage it takes to enter therapy. Therapy can be hard work and it can be a shelter in the storm. Together we will work through old patterns, shame, trauma, fear, insecurities, etc.. Through deepening self-awareness, compassion and acceptance, you will be able to take better care of yourself and others, set heathy boundaries, reach goals and have deeper relationships. We will work to let go of what holds you back so you can go after what you want in life."

"Anchored in a humanistic approach that places an emphasis on personal growth, I offer a safe space for you to address the pain that brought you to therapy by meeting you where you are with empathy and understanding. I will help you begin to uncover the underlying causes of painful feelings. We will work together as you begin to shift from reactive patterns of behavior to greater self awareness and well thought-out action. I work with adult individuals and/or couples. My work with couples developed as more and more clients cited relationship distress as their primary concern."

"Are you stuck in unhelpful mind or behavior patterns, difficult times in a relationship or stressed in a way that is affecting all of the above? I believe that we all possess the resources to experience ourselves "new and improved" and move toward being the best that we can be. We know what has worked for us and what hasn't. Finding ways to make lasting changes and experience relief that is tailored to who YOU are, is my commitment to you. It will be an exciting journey into self-discovery, relief of unwanted symptoms and new confidence."

"Are you looking to grow in wisdom and compassion? For yourself? Your situation? Others? I provide support for adults who feel stuck or are in transition and want to develop in wisdom and maturity, love and compassion. Using mindfulness insight and other techniques, I encourage authentic living with awareness, gentleness, humor, creativity and courage."

"Life can present many challenges, twists, and turns that can be quite difficult and puzzling. Therefore, I provide clients with the opportunity to explore those challenges and discover ways of addressing them. Through a confidential, non-judgmental, and empathic therapeutic relationship, I provide clients with the opportunity to address their difficulties which may be keeping them from realizing a more satisfying sense of well-being."

"Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school? Teenagers and young adults face unique challenges in life, and it can be very overwhelming for them and you, the parent. I work with adolescents and young adults, ages 12-25, to help them understand stress and anxiety. We work together to overcome their obstacles and self-doubts; helping them focus on building positive thinking and behaviors to achieve their life goals."

"Life can bring us many ups and downs, which often leaves us feeling confused, overwhelmed and out of control. I believe you have an ability to identify solutions to your problems, but may have become stuck. I will assist you to identify your strengths and work on your personal goals, to feel empowered and move forward in your life. Through a collaborative approach I use a strengths-based approach using cognitive behavior techniques,mindfulness,and play therapy with children. I provide a safe and confidential setting where you feel understood and validated."

"We live life in relationship with others, often focusing on their needs. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves, resulting in feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and self-critical. I invite you to take a "time-out" from the chaos of life and focus on YOU. Let's address the challenges you may be facing at home, work, or school, and within your romantic, friend, and family relationships. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health issues."

"I believe that working with the whole person - body, mind, spirit- is essential for finding peace and full potential. I believe that people don't need to suffer as we do and that each individual holds key resources to enable a better life. My 20+ years of clinical experience, along with my yoga teaching certification, offers a solid and unique approach particularly for adults dealing with trauma/anxiety, addiction and chronic pain/conditions. I have had extensive experience working with complex and multi-occuring disorders. For those desiring, I provide Christian Counseling."

"Addiction, relationships, trauma – these issues often go together. Men especially have a hard time talking about emotions, but emotions often are at the heart of problems in our lives. My work has been about talking over hard issues. Only by looking at hard issues with honesty, compassion, and understanding can we get to the heart of what goes on in our lives. My work is about helping people untie the knots in their lives. Let me help you get unstuck by talking through whatever issues are going on in your life, and doing so with kindness, compassion, honesty, and understanding."

"Healing from trauma and other adverse experiences can seem daunting at best and impossible at worst. Everyone has strength, courage and resiliency; trauma often obscures our connection to them. It's my job to help you reconnect and grow your resiliency! I would be honored if you allow me to accompany you on your healing journey."

"I have been a practicing therapist for more than 15 years following my graduation from the Johns Hopkins School of Community Counseling. My education and experience is grounded in contemporary western psychology, mind-body therapies, mindfulness practices, and the science of growing inner strength and well being. I offer integrative, caring counseling services to adults, couples and groups. My specialty areas include: creating positive, close relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, life challenges and transitions, self-criticalness and moving beyond shame. I also provide EMDR, an evidence based trauma therapy."

"I am passionate about helping people to create change in their lives through the process of counseling and psychotherapy and have 20 years of experience as a helping professional. I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families, and together we gain an understanding of how to create healthy relationships and learn new ways of coping with life's challenges such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Couples can learn new ways of communicating and repair a relationship to create more intimacy. Together we can create counseling goals that fit your individual needs."

""Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." (Viktor Frankl) Many of those I work with are dealing with issues of grief and loss. Others suffer from addictions and desire to embark on a recovery path, or love someone with addictions and need to learn how to take care of themselves. Many are journeying through resolving trauma, anxiety, stress or depression issues. Regardless of your pain, I am invested in your growth, emotional freedom and creating your wellness plan."

"I love working with clients of all backgrounds, dealing with a range of problems. Our experiences of grief, fear, pain, anxiety and depression are universal, and I believe we can all work to make the distress and suffering that we experience manageable, and eventually lead fulfilling, positive lives. "

"If something is blocking your move forward--your joy-- I can help. With a Judeo Christian foundation I will provide you with a "tool box." Couples are assured of each person being heard. Years of experience enable me to understand your distress, as well as what specific steps will help. Your issue may be one of relationship, loss, anxiety, chronic illness, floundering faith, anger, weak boundaries, or parenting--or some combination. Would love to help. "

"For the past 16 yrs I've worked primarily with children & adolescents* on the autism spectrum. Of course working with children means working with parents; partnering with parents is essential so that the progress we make in sessions carries over to everyday family life. There is nothing better than finding the "secret" to reaching a child and seeing them blossom before your eyes. It might not happen overnight, but believe me, it happens. To make the most progress, children should begin therapy as early as possible. * I can see adult clients and couples, wkdays between 11 am - 2 pm."

"So many people feel misunderstood, isolated, afraid, angry, or depressed. Many have experienced things that cause them pain or deep confusion. I believe that providing a comfortable, nonjudgmental place can be the beginning of relief from this pain. I also believe it can be important to go beyond this and provide specialized treatment that addresses my clients' unique needs. I have worked for several years with adolescents, men, and others who oftentimes do not feel heard. I see change happen everyday; if it might be time for change or healing in your life contact me and let's get started."

"Do you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self? You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence. Together, we can work through these obstacles to help you connect with a deeper sense of well-being, and become more present in your daily life. "
