"There is a saying, "In youth, we run into difficulties. In old age, difficulties run into us." Sometimes life can be really hard. Even the strongest individual may need support and guidance in dealing with unexpected circumstances, or in managing conflict and personal challenges. I believe that through safe, reassuring, and compassionate therapy, clients can work through any struggle, connect to their best authentic selves, and achieve long-term growth and personal transformation."

"Are you in an inner fight with yourself? Would you like to feel more comfortable with yourself? Would you like to feel more joyful, sensual, sexual? I am dedicated to helping you in forming closer RELATIONSHIPS to yourself and to other's. Through slowing building our own unique alliance, we can uncover obstacles that are blocking you from living more freely, more authentically. Whether you are challenged by anxiety, depression, suffering a little or a lot; huge shifts await. I'll support your efforts to change patterns that interfere with your daily life. Whatever issue you're facing, you'll find guidance in a caring environment."

"In today's world we are surrounded by constructive and destructive forces. It is easy to get sucked in by the destructive forces such as fear or negativity which can lead to uneasiness, deep sadness, and disappointments. I believe therapy can be a great tool to shift your focus to more constructive forces within yourself, your family, and your environment. Therapy can help you to channel the pain into creation of a peaceful act, whether that's developing greater self-compassion, or untangling any relationship issues."

"Pema Chodron states that the "essence of life is that it's challenging." I believe that with the right support, your difficult life experiences and challenges, whatever they may be or however they stemmed, can be overcome with time. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples through these challenging experiences. I bring empathic energy, intuition, careful consideration, humor, and challenge to the process of converting difficulty into growth. My work is driven by philosophies and therapies based in trauma-informed care, neurobiology, attachment theory, nonviolent communication, Emotion Focused Therapy, Buddhism, and EMDR."

"Healing is a delicate and powerful process of transformation that involves the emergence of an authentic autonomous self in the presence of an empathic other. Our work together will focus on the areas of your life that are inhibiting the power of your full potential. We all need our pain witnessed in an effort to move beyond where we feel stuck. Through compassion, active listening, challenging explorations and a space where vulnerability can be safe, I support my clients growth in an encouraging and straightforward approach."

"I believe the foundation of living a truly fulfilling life comes from genuine and nurturing connection to others. As a therapist, my work consists of helping you find this type of connection through embracing vulnerability, increasing acceptance, and learning to live whole-heartedly. Through our collaboration, we can gently and compassionately explore your needs, hopes, and fears while empowering you to utilize your strengths. Ultimately, you will arrive at a place of greater integration of all parts of yourself, while developing greater curiosity, and understanding of the painful emotions and challenges that arise throughout life."

"Our approach to therapy is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients have an opportunity for their voice to be heard. Our ultimate goal is for clients to thrive and lead balanced happy lives. We provide support and guidance to individuals and couples dealing with a variety of issues: anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, "feeling stuck", and adjustment issues. Life brings on all types of stresses such as relationships, career, parenting, aging, & identity. Our work is based on the understanding that therapy can be invaluable in processing many of life's transitions and challenges, both large and seemingly small"

"There are times when life gets difficult. -We experience a level of distress that may make us uncomfortable, overwhelmed, confused, anxious, sad and/or depressed, because of the loss of a job, a change in career, ending of a significant relationship, or a major shift, move, or transition. Our goal is to feel "better" and "happier", but how do we get there? Sometimes the solution is short-term (counseling or coaching) and sometimes it could take more time (psychotherapy) to address deeper issues and patterns we are ready to let go of. Each individual is different, but you are reading this because you are seeking healing and growth."

"I am passionate about helping people reduce stress and anxiety in order to find a path towards happiness and healing. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, and relationship issues, as well as those who are simply seeking greater self-awareness and insight. I believe in drawing upon my clients' inherent strengths and sense of resiliency. I am particularly interested in the link between the body and mind, and enjoy teaching my clients practical tools to help improve their daily lives. I am trained in both EMDR and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM). "

"It's all about getting unstuck. Are you stuck in depression? Anxiety? Panic attacks? Relationship patterns that don't work? Therapy is both an art and a science, and I am a therapist who is well versed in both. I am a results-oriented, scientifically-minded therapist. In addition, I am also very kind, empathetic and can be very fun, as well! There are many ways of working in therapy. I am skilled at several modalities including: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (a unique method of healing trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, etc.), Art Therapy, Action-Oriented Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, & more."

"It is my belief that therapy is a two-way street. You get out of it what you put into it. If you apply yourself and your efforts are sincere, your chances of success and improvement are far greater. I view myself as a facilitator, at times, as a therapist. A conduit between you and your truths. And at times I see my role as being more assertive and providing guidance when need be. I also understand the need, at times, to provide my clients with more specific answers to questions that they might have regarding their mental health concerns."

" I specialize in guiding women to step into their power to create lives of authenticity, joy, and purpose. I believe that the experiences of all women are sacred. When women gain the tools to heal themselves, engage life from a place of worthiness, and awaken to their full creative potential, we have the power to transform the world. Sometimes in life we encounter experiences that obscure our potential to thrive and cause us to feel stuck or helpless in a sense of suffering."

"If you feel like a burden, can't share things with the people in your life, or you usually keep to yourself, my practice can support you. Going to therapy and talking about yourself can be really hard, it can stress me out too. I make the first session as easy going as possible."

"We all strive to be seen, to belong, and to gain a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives. When we are struggling, a strong therapeutic relationship can help. My approach is warm and collaborative. I am trained in several evidence-based practices, including CBT, and am strongly influenced by attachment theory and contemporary psychoanalytic theories as well. My aim is that our sessions will provide you with a safe space to gain insight, integration, and a deepening of relationship with yourself and others, as well as movement toward your personal goals."

"Whether you feel unfulfilled in your career, relationships, or use substances, food, or sex to cope with uncomfortable feelings, therapy can assist you in gaining valuable insights and facilitate lasting change. If you are in a relationship that is in distress, therapy can greatly improve your connection. I help couples become open, mutually attuned and responsive to each other in order to re-establish their emotional connection. With this emotional connection restored, couples can heal a distressed relationship, revitalize a tired one, and possibly rescue one gone awry."

"I offer individual and couples therapy on a sliding scale. I'm passionate about holding a non-judgmental environment in which clients are able to explore healing and growth as they reconnect with their values and strengths."

"You've taken the first step in addressing the barriers preventing you from living your life to the fullest. Individual therapy can be a beneficial experience as we navigate difficult times in your personal life including work, home, and family. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment to embark on self exploration and the development of individual techniques used to overcome depression, anxiety, trauma and life adjustments."

"I specialize treating anxiety, relational issues and life transition challenges using an eclectic therapeutic approach. I incorporate aspects of psychodynamic therapy to encourage understanding of how past experiences create current patterns. Together we will reduce the symptoms of anxiety by cultivating skills and coping tools by using a Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy approach. Through therapy, my hope is that you will feel empowered to make the changes necessary to live a life that is in-line with your hopes and dreams. I treat individuals, teens and families in my practice."

"Are you longing to find more joy in everyday moments or get through difficult times with wisdom, compassion and resilience? In a warm and collaborative atmosphere, I work with people in the midst of significant life challenges, transitions, chronic illnesses, as well as emotional and/or physical pain and suffering. "

"WEDNESDAY EVENING AND SATURDAY OFFICE HOURS AVAILABLE Experiencing life’s vast and continuous challenges can sometimes seem overwhelming. It is in times like these when we need a little extra support. I am passionate about providing a safe space that is nonjudgmental and respectful, where I can help guide clients on a path of self-reflection, to a place of self-understanding, growth, and healing. With greater self-awareness and the development of coping skills, future challenges in life can seem less daunting and be conquered in stride."
