Do you want to live more fulfilled? There are many changes that come with life's seasons and we're proud to be here to help you navigate them. We help people develop a self-care plan to deal with stress, cope with grief or loss, deal with past traumatic experiences, and better manage anger. We can also help you to get along better with family members, improve your relationship with your spouse, and learn new coping skills.

Are you or your child feeling sad, anxious, or angry? Is there stress at home, school, or work? Are you or your child having difficulty in relationships? We can address these topics and more together in a session focused on supporting you or your child in improving overall well-being and goal achievement. I am currently accepting clients of all ages with a focus on young children and teens. I work to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental space for clients where each individual is valued unconditionally. We can explore together how your past may impact your present, and how to increase mindfulness and calm in your everyday life.

If you are looking for a therapist who is a calm presence and can help you sort out your current life situation, you may have found the right person. I am someone who is "in the moment" with clients, attending to what they need now and eventually challenging them to look at past patterns of thoughts and behaviors to gain insight into making changes that will help them achieve their goals in life. This is done in collaboration with my clients and at a comfortable pace for them.

I am a Certified Master Life Coach and work with clients to develop practical strategies to manage life challenges. I strongly believe that YOU are the most capable, resourceful, powerful force in your life, regardless of your circumstances, and that YOU have the ability to change your life by realigning your goals and committing to change. I will be your partner on your journey. I will listen, and help you nurture yourself and your plans by using my practical and results-oriented coaching approach.

I am a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy to adults, children and families to treat anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, chronic stress and trauma. My practice methods include adult therapy, child therapy, parent-child therapy and parent developmental guidance.

Pregnancy and motherhood, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identity, career stress, relationships issues, trauma, self worth, worry and overwhelm and concentration issues are my areas of clinical expertise. I use Trauma Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to decrease and manage the frequency, duration and intensity of their symptoms.  I'll incorporate your values, identities, faith and cultural practices and belief systems. We will identify symptoms and implement long-term coping strategies that are practical for your personality and lifestyle.

As a therapist, I have many years of experience with a wide range of individuals and families, who come from various backgrounds including race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion/spirituality, and culture. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, stress, self-esteem/identity, life transitions, communication, and relationships. Throughout the therapeutic process, I assist clients in finding their own voice, establishing boundaries, increasing resilience, and creating their own definition of happiness.

Thank you for visiting my page! It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and you've taken the first step! I believe that virtually everyone can benefit from treatment. I treat a wide range of presenting problems, and I have significant experience working with adolescents and young adults with mood and anxiety disorders. I recognize that each client has differing needs and expectations from therapy, and I work to personalize treatment to each presenting issue. Typical clients tend to be high-functioning and motivated for treatment, and they seek help to enact tools that could benefit them in alleviating their distress.

Hello, I have practiced as a Clinical Psychologist for the past 20 years. I have extensive training and experience working with senior citizens who experience depression, anxiety, physical health issues, and grief/loss. My other specialty area is working with active duty service members of all branches and military veterans.

Difficult parent-child relationships, single motherhood, impact of divorced parents, apathy in relationships, career transitions, immigrant issues, grief and loss and abandonment are my areas of specialty. We'll determine how to manage the impact of your experiences and symptoms, thoughts, behaviors, mood and relationship. I administer assessments, diagnose and work with clients to identify ways to manage or eliminate anxiety, depression, pregnancy and childbirth, mood disorders and more. If you are navigating transitions, grief, divorce, empty nesting, challenging relationships or work stress, I can support you.

Its hard to be a teenager. Often my clients have a desire to better understand themselves and how experiences in their past inform who they are now. They may experience anxiety and depression or feel overwhelmed by stressors in their lives. Oftentimes, they struggle to cope with emotions or day to day stress and can be hard on themselves. I will work with you to process the emotions and beliefs that accompany relationship issues, identity exploration, emotional challenges, or past trauma, so you can move towards a life of fullness and connection with self and others.

In all stages of life there are storms, we do not have to figure out or face our struggles and road blocks alone. When a circumstance, situation, or event arises it can feel like you are alone, lost, or misunderstood; I am here to listen and walk with you on your journey. Stress, anxiety, worry, depression can reroute your path from unexpected, unanticipated, and even planned events. Together we can build skills, explore your strengths, access the power within, and process your emotions to heal, balance the hard times, and weather storms along your journey.

*Currently have limited in person and virtual openings* I am easy to talk to and believe in collaborative and evidence-based treatment.

Hi! I am a culturally competent, trauma-informed therapist. My potential clients are looking for someone compassionate who can help them navigate the complexities of their lives.

My clients gain insight, process their experiences and gain culturally sensitive skills to manage anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression, and PTSD. We'll also explore and address stress related to work, transitions, shame, guilt, self-esteem, disappointment, isolation, communication, relationships (any configuration), identity, culture, trauma, grief, and loss. I work closely with each person to develop personalized treatment plans that target specific symptoms, needs, and goals. As a Middle Eastern & Kurdish immigrant, I also understand how the intersection of cultures, religions, and customs can affect people.

I work with pre-teens (ages 10-12), adolescents, and adults in individual and family therapy. I help clients develop coping skills for ADHD, anxiety, depression and managing general life stress.
