"Change is hard work and I want to help. Addiction, trauma, depression and relationship issues can bring us to places we would rather not be. We can get stuck in uncomfortable and unhealthy habits and patterns that keep us from becoming the best possible versions of ourselves."

"I work with individuals from diverse cultural and faith backgrounds. I honor all cultural backgrounds. Whether you are seeking family therapy, trauma-focused therapy, or support for your anxiety or depression, I collaborate with you to achieve your treatment goals. I believe all people, regardless of age, have an innate capacity to grow, heal, and change if they are provided a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. I help people gain awareness of how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves, find ways to remove obstacles to emotional growth, and move towards feeling more connected and alive."

"I have been in the mental health field for over 25 years and love what I do. My experience covers a wide range of ages and issues. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, divorce and loss. I provide a warm, supportive environment and believe in working collaboratively with each individual. I have extensive experience in working with children, adolescents and families; and will play and do art with children to help them feel more at ease with therapy. I also work with couples and enjoy helping people to develop healthier relationships."

"I primarily work with children, adolescents, or those that struggle with food and body concerns. I help clients become their best self and explore areas in their life that they would like to change."

"I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults using a compassionate, client-centered approach. I draw primarily from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative, and mindfulness techniques to help clients address anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, stress management, parenting concerns, pregnancy and prenatal anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, and more."

"Do you struggle with sadness or depression? What about worry or nervousness? We can work together to help you develop the skills to cope with these feelings. Did you have problems growing up in your family? Are they causing you problems in your relationships today? If your past is interfering with your present I can help you resolve these old issues so you can create the life that you want. We can also use your unique spirituality in your healing journey. Please call for an appointment."

"The qualities that characterize my practice: interactive, enlightening and change oriented. Therapy is about you and I working together to develop deeper insight into your strengths and challenges in order to develop new strategies that decrease distress and suffering. The adolescents and adults who I work with are decreasing anxiety, depression and the impact of trauma. They are learning to cope without the use of substances or self medicating and developing recovery skills."

"I believe you deserve a life that is thrilling. I want to help you eliminate unhealthy patterns and routines, and build confidence and creativity in all facets of your life. Existing in a social world is inevitable and challenging. Together we’ll build resiliency and awareness around your behaviors, and dissect how they affect your well-being and those around you. Having worked for years with children and families I understand your challenges. I provide an open, thoughtful environment where creative problem solving and skill building around parenting or personal conflicts can happen."

"Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells or lacking self confidence in your relationships? Do you see your life heading further from your goals? Now imagine waking up in the morning excited about the day ahead, living the life you always envisioned! My goal is to create a warm, safe, non judgmental and supportive space for you to express yourself, feel heard, explore life's challenges and make transformational changes. I believe you are the expert of your life and my role is to help you find the path to living the life you envision."

"I am an experienced clinician that works with children, adolescents and adults. My areas of practice focus on children, adolescents and adults who have experienced domestic violence, developmental trauma, addiction within the family, anxiety and depression; children and adolescents who are having difficulty with intense emotions and challenging behaviors. I am skilled in working with parents/caregivers who are looking to improve their relationship with their child and helping parents/caregivers who are looking to better understand and respond to their child."

"Deciding to seek treatment from a psychotherapist is always a significant moment. It often comes with doubt, fear, and pain but the decision is also an expression of hope and determination. You are as different from anyone else as your fingerprint. Your history, likes, dislikes, dreams, memories, fears, strengths and challenges are unlike anyone else's. Your symptoms are outward signs of inner turmoil and is my belief that in order for relief of symptoms to be more permanent in-depth work is the most effective method."

"Psychotherapy is both an art and a science. I believe that my strength as a psychotherapist is that I am informed equally by my theoretical foundation as well as my creativity and intuition. The first part of my theoretical foundation is drawn from insight-oriented theories. I'm interested in how the interplay of your history and personality has contributed to your current concerns. The process of learning about and accepting who you are contributes to your healing. Through gentle and direct exploration and encouragement I will guide you toward self- awareness and compassionate self -acceptance."

"For me and my work there aren't many things more powerful and influential than a genuine human connection, a respectful relationship, and a safe space for exploration. I believe the root source of any change comes from feeling secure in these very areas. My hope is that I can provide these basic foundations with my clients. I strive to create a space in which there is respect, humor, no judgement, and an openness to learn. I find that in this space people are able to tackle a range of issues, strengthen skills, and positive growth takes place."

"How amazing would it be if there was one 'go-to' book to guide everyone in learning how to live their lives to the fullest, discover true happiness, and relish in the satisfaction of working through the daily challenges we are handed. I have yet to discover this book. However, in my 10 years of working with children, youth, adults, and families with emotional and behavioral challenges I've learned that our experiences in life, no matter how difficult, are important and shape how we relate to others, how we feel, and move through this journey of life."

"What brings you to therapy is complicated and personal. I will meet you where you are, working with whatever you bring through the door and support you to become the expert in shaping your own life. I view therapy as intersectional, dynamic, and co-creative - a space of safety and nonjudgment where you can process, explore, and heal."

"I have worked for nearly 35 years helping clients across a wide spectrum of life experiences and challenges. My greatest pleasure as a helper is being a part of a process that enables an individual to overcome barriers and to thrive, no matter how slim the odds or how sad the story. My clinical expertise includes depression, mood disorders, anxiety, loss, transitions, trauma, and behavior problems with adolescents and young adults."

"Is your child struggling academically and/or socially? Does parenting seem like an overwhelming task and stressor? With a strong background in child development, at-risk youth, and adolescents experimenting with high-risk behaviors, I am dedicated to working with adolescents and the families who support them. I enjoy providing comprehensive therapy tailored to one's individual needs. Many of my clients also come to me seeking support navigating young adulthood. "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." William James"

"I help people to look within and find the inner strengths they have to overcome problems. This is achieved by guiding them in a process that discovers their best way of expressing themselves in a healthy manner. The methods I use are unique to your needs and include an interpersonal, insight orientated, positive psychology perspective. I have extensive experience assessing problems that sometimes are named: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, attachment, adoption issues, anger management and self control. I like to think outside of these labels and assist you in finding success in all areas of life."
