"Has estado tratando de encontrar la manera de ser la persona que eras antes, pero aún sigues batallando. Sabes que algo tiene que cambiar. Por alguna razón, parece que no puedes hacer las cosas lo suficientemente bien, sea en el trabajo, en la escuela o en casa con tu familia, quizas hasta con un nuevo bebé. Te sientes sola y preocupada que estas decepcionando a la gente, que no estas cumpliendo con deberes ... es difícil mantenerte al día. Estás tan cansada y luchando por mantenerte a flote. Te preguntas por qué no puedes simplemente sentirte mejor y ser más como todos los demás a tu alrededor, especialmente si eres una nueva mamá."

"Are you struggling in your relationship right now? Do you feel distant from your spouse or partner? Are you fighting a lot? Do you find yourself crying all the time and feeling bad about yourself? You are not alone. These are the kinds of concerns I often hear in both individual and couple therapy. Each of you, however is unique and needs solutions that are specific to your situation. I have 30 years of clinical experience in providing psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children, the last 25 of which have followed advanced training in couple and family therapy."

"I enjoy working with those who have a willingness and openness in exploring how to further benefit their overall well-being. I often work with the following presenting problems: Anxiety, ADHD, Adoption, Anger Management, Autism, Behavioral Issues, Depression, Developmental Disorders, Divorce, Life Transitions, Parent Training, Racism Issues, Relationship Issues, School Issues, Self-Esteem, Stress, Suicidal Ideation and Trauma. I place great importance on cultural perspectives and am an LGBTQ affirmative therapist. I also offer therapy services in the Spanish language. Ofrezco servicios de terapia en Espa˜nol."

"I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. Are you having the same arguments over and over? Do you feel like you can never make your partner happy? Are you frustrated and disappointed with your relationship? Is the loneliness and isolation overwhelming? I can help you figure out how to get out of the cycle of repetitive, unproductive communication and get to the heart of the matter. Talking to your partner with a third person in the room gives you courage to say things and the opportunity to listen and respond in a way that you might not have before."

"Being a child, an adolescent, an adult, is not easy. School, working, navigating relationships, parenting, family life, finding time for yourself, coping with loss, stress- We all face times that are challenging. Everyone deserves a safe space to share their story, feelings, and experiences & have their truth be heard and held. I am passionate about helping children & adults as they navigate difficult moments in their lives. I am skilled at listening, & providing support, guidance, & compassion as individuals strive to make meaning, heal, connect, successfully participate, & find joy in the different parts of their lives. "

"As an empathic clinician, I place importance on establishing a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment. I encourage a collaborative and authentic relationship in which my clients feel understood and supported. Because individuals are unique, I emphasize fully understanding each client and their specific concerns. My interventions are based on this understanding as well as my clients' preferences. I have lived and worked in several countries in Europe, South America and Africa and have enjoyed working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on a wide range of concerns in my over 15 years of practice."

"Difficult times in life are opportunities for growth and change. I specialize in exploring identity, relationships, and transitions, mindful of the interplay between our formative experiences and current ways of being in the world. Through the therapeutic process, we understand and address anxious and depressed feelings; recover from losses and addictions, and manage work and family related stresses. I facilitate my clients' innate movement toward healing and authenticity."

"We all hold beliefs about who we are--some of those beliefs are positive and motivate us to do what we need to and want to, but some are negative and prevent us from living the life we want. Sometimes we know what those negative beliefs are; we are very familiar with them and feel like we can’t escape them. Other times we aren’t quite sure why we keep finding ourselves doing the same hurtful actions over and over again. I work with you to discover what negative beliefs are impacting your present and preventing the life and relationships you want to enjoy. "

"Todos buscamos amor y aceptación de nuestros seres queridos. Nuestra vida tiene sentido cuando nos conectamos con los demas. Entonces, porque es tan dificil entender las relaciones humanas? Nuestra cultura, familia y expectativas sociales juegan un rol importante en los conflictos que tenemos y en la forma en la que nos relacionamos con los demás."

"Do you ever stand back and take a look at the big picture of your life and wonder how things ended up this way? Do you feel unhappy with your choices or situation, but unsure about how to start unraveling the mess and moving in a positive direction? I can help you examine your choices and behaviors, big and small, understand how they might be keeping you stuck or unfulfilled, and collaboratively empower you to make changes that bring you more in line with the kind of life you want and deserve to have."

"I work with kids, teens, parents, young adults, and families to learn effective strategies to address any struggles you are facing. Effective therapists are good listeners and also hold clients accountable to make the changes they want to see. Whether it be behavioral changes at home or at school with kids, managing and reducing stress and anxiety in teens, or challenging young adults to work toward their goals, I will be engaging you throughout the process. I utilize well-researched and results-driven techniques to assist you in altering the unproductive patterns of behavior and stress management to lead you to success!"

"As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe in every person's capacity to heal, grow and foster deep transformation in their lives. In my practice, I act as a companion to adolescents, teens, and adults who have powerful stories to tell. These may be rooted in histories of complex trauma and pain, new explorations into self and identity, grief in the midst of life transitions, and challenges related to feeling "at home" in one's own body. Ofrezco todos los servicios en español y estoy feliz hablar con usted, por teléfono y en persona, sobre sus intereses, preferencias y esperanzas para la psicoterapia y su salud mental."

"My approach is holistic and strengths based. I draw on a variety of approaches including EMDR, mindfulness, family systems, psychodynamic, and stress reduction techniques. I am skilled at helping people identify how their past is affecting the present and healing these memories which often results in new levels of peace and calmness. My training as a pastoral counselor has also equipped me to work with people who want to address spiritual concerns and questions. I have significant cross cultural experience from life in Kenya and Central America and I relate naturally and warmly to people of any culture or background."

""Without a struggle, there can be no progress." ~ F. Douglass. It takes courage and strength for people to admit they are going through more than they can handle. If you are going through something difficult, you don't have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space where it's safe to share and reflect upon thoughts, feelings and challenges you face. My job as a therapist is to ensure my clients feel understood and that they learn skills & tools to manage challenges that may come up in life. I am here to support you through it."

"I have over 20 years experience treating adults, families and couples. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders. I am a published author who has presented my research on group psychotherapy nationally and internationally. I am also a licensed massage therapist who practices mind/body work. As a board member with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and a member of APA's Task force on severe mental illness, I am an advocate for individuals and families who struggle with the stigma associated with these disorders. As a professor at Midwestern University, I am aware of cutting edge, evidence based practices."

"My practice is multicultural, multilingual (Japanese, Spanish, and English), and multidisciplinary (as a former teacher). My approach is flexible and practical. I work with clients to identify major issues and develop treatment goals. Clients are empowered through access to reliable psycho-educational tools and materials to better prepare them to advocate for themselves and others. We then work together to (1) develop individual coping skills, and (2) cultivate social/environmental supports (e.g., linkage to support groups, strengthening of community or family ties). My goal is to enable clients to resolve issues/manage symptoms independently (without professional help) in future."

"I believe the human spirit has an innate capacity for healing, and therapy is a venue for positive change. The first goal is to co-create a treatment plan that fits your unique strengths and needs. I offer a menu of treatment options, including talk therapy, skills training and expressive techniques such as art, mindfulness and imagery that allow transformation to occur within the body and mind. Insight is gained, old stories are released and your authentic self emerges. With a compassionately curious style, I empower clients with the tools and support they need to access their natural healing process."
