"At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully."

"Balance, peace, hope: these might be a few of the needs that feel unmet for you. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to restoring well-being and finding relief from the symptoms you are experiencing. "

"As a licensed professional counselor for 27 years, it has been my privilege to assist clients in their path of change and rediscovery. Whether depression or anxiety, many individuals have benefited from identifying current struggles and stressors and reflecting on how past patterns may be negatively impacting them. My focus has been dealing with anxiety disorders, depression, co-dependency, grief, adult children of dysfunctional families, parenting concerns, providing pre-marital assessments and spirituality/psychotherapy concerns."

"I believe in a non-judgmental, person-centered, positive approach in the counseling relationship, where the client feels comfortable enough to express their feelings and thoughts while examining factors which may be causing them pain, anxiety, or unhappiness. I also believe that individuals have the power within themselves to overcome these personal barriers to attain their full potential. My goal is to support you and give you tools to use along the way, and also in your future. There is light at the end of what may seem a dark tunnel, but together we will work to get you there."

"Feeling stuck or looking for something different? I offer in office traditional therapy sessions in a peaceful, private, country setting, focusing on CBT, DBT, and soultion focused methods. I also offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning opportunities for individuals and groups. I specialize in helping people identify their strengths and unhelpful thought patterns to find solutions to their problems. Equine assisted work is a great option for people not interested in traditional therapy and others who have not been "successful" in other therapy settings. In addition to psychotherapy, we offer several group opportunities for children, adolescents, and adults."

"I believe that when people seek counseling it is because they want to make a change in their lives, improve a life situation, make a decision, solve a problem or have greater understanding and insight to their lives. Counseling is a trusting partnership between client and counselor. A process of looking at and integrating thoughts, feelings and actions in a safe environment. It is not about telling you how or when to change, but rather finding what works best for you. Effective counseling requires a commitment of time, energy, and active participation by both client and counselor."

"Does it feel like you are trapped in a bad version of groundhog day? The same awful thoughts and feelings keep repeating? We can work it through to a place of newness. I love working with women of all ages. Together, we will work with your whole system to create healing. We will build strength and clarity by bringing you deeper into relationship with yourself in a loving and compassionate environment. Foundational concepts for therapy: mindfulness, neurobiologically informed treatments, Hakomi method, IFS, and Sensorimotor based interventions within the context of more traditional therapies such as CBT and ACT."

"Our mission at Inspire Behavioral Health is to inspire balance, hope and personal growth. Mental health therapy can be an important part of your journey toward emotional well-being and healing. We believe that each individual is unique in their experiences, strengths and needs, and thus brings a different perspective to session. We look forward to collaborating with you to begin to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors related to anxiety, work and family stress, grief and loss, self-esteem, trauma, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Please call so we can discuss your needs and preferences."

"When an individual decides to seek counseling, it is typically because they are feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges and have not had any success in improving their life situation on their own. As a therapist, we can work together to develop tools, strategies, insight, and strength to navigate these challenges with less pain and suffering. My extensive experience and training enables me to offer help and tailor the therapeutic process to your needs, personality, and concerns. My strong intention is to help you and/or your family to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life that you deserve."

"I believe it is important to meet people where they are and that everyone has the potential to grow. Sometimes it just takes a little extra support in order for people to get to a place where they can enjoy life more completely and feel good about themselves. When working with my clients I use a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches. I offer comprehensive counseling for adults and adolescents and have worked extensively with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, self-confidence issues, loss/grief, and relationship difficulties."

"I believe it is my job as a therapist to empower my clients to find their own path and truth as they understand it. In terms of theoretical orientation I would describe myself as integrative with a strong emphasis on multicultural feminist theories. How this translates into therapy is most evident in my emphasis on a collaborative approach and a goal of empowering my clients. At the same time I am engaged in continuous consideration of how multiple oppressions (sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism) in the current societal and historical context may be contributing to distress."

"We often enter therapy when something becomes unbearable in our lives. This can be good news. Unbearable discomfort wakes us up. It shakes us out of our stupor. It alerts us that something is important here and at stake. Often it's an invitation to live more healthfully. To come into alignment with an authentic self. To wake up to the greater potential of our lives. Therapy and coaching support you to meet your situation with curiosity and openness. Together we learn from and work creatively with what is arising in your life."

"My intention is to create a safe space where you can tell and make sense of your personal story. I am here to help you wrestle with the hurdles that you face and to assist you in navigating your way to a place of healing. My goal for you is to come to better understanding and acceptance of yourself, and that you value yourself as a person of great worth."

"I am a generalist psychotherapist who practices within an explicitly feminist-multicultural framework that privileges cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and ACT-based interventions. My clinical approach positions meaning and values as core orientations in navigating life's hardships, as I believe times of difficulty may function as moments for profound connection, transformation, and hope. I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical skills for alleviating current distress while also addressing underlying social, emotional, and relational factors that might get and keep them stuck."

"Do you struggle with feelings of hopelessness, lack of motivation, or difficulty in relationships? Maybe you have been described as impulsive and your risky behaviors have damaged relationships or caused legal or academic consequences. Has your alcohol or marijuana use gotten in the way of the goals you had for yourself or relationships with people who matter most in your life? If you are hoping that things can turn around, I can help. I work with adults who want to overcome low moods, improve relationships, and address substance use that is getting in the way of a fulfilling and successful life. Call today."

"It's hard being a person. We all struggle to some extent in fundamental areas of human life-- relationships, identity, work, depression, anxiety, destructive behaviors, the meaning of life itself. Satisying marriage/committed relationship are a specific challenge faced by many. I work in both individual and couples therapy. There are many ways to approach human problems, including: how family of origin influences personality; one's relationship to one's thoughts and feelings; self-defeating beliefs, both conscious and unconscious; self-defeating behavior. I value thoughtfulness and compassion, working together, and recognizing your goals and ideas."
