"For the majority of people, counseling gives a sense of relief and hope, in part, by providing a safe and open environment to freely talk with an unbiased and non-judgmental person about what is going on in their relationships and personal lives. I provide help for couples who feel as though they don't know what else to do to make things different in their relationships and are experiencing emotional distress due to a variety of reasons from: communication problems, conflict, and distancing, to an overall feeling of disconnect with their partners."

"Dually licensed as a Mental Health and Alcohol & Drug Counselor, I work with adults, adolescents and families using a goal-focused approach to effect positive change.

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for 20 years. My practice is dedicated to both psychotherapy and neurofeedback. My psychotherapy background is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. The blending of these approaches allows me to tailor individual treatment in a way that is designed to address specific needs. I meet people where they are as they come into therapy, help them get symptom relief by working to address cognitive and behavioral issues that are preventing them from leading their most satisfying life, while looking to foster insight and healing from the patterns that caused symptoms in the first place."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I excel working with clients who desire evidence-based treatments, such as DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. I enjoy working with clients that are in Suboxone and Methodone programs as well as clients who are not even sure if they have a problem with drugs or alcohol. It is my belief that clients know themselves best and should be in the driver's seat at all times."

"With more than eighteen years of experience working with Adults, Couples, Families, and Adolescents using Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Person Centered, Narrative, Family Systems, and other therapies, I will help you identify ways in which to move towards the goals you have for change.

"If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed or just not yourself, the body-based psychotherapy I offer can help you gain a more grounded perspective. You learn skills that help you recover your innate resourcefulness in the face of stress, old wounds or unexpected events. A supportive, confidential relationship allows you to learn more about yourself. After working with me, people often say they feel a greater sense of choice and confidence in themselves. I work individually with adults. I also offer a seven class mindfulness series for healing grief. I occasionally offer other classes using mindfulness practices to support ADHD."

"As a seasoned psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I provide both individual and couples therapy. I am experienced and comfortable working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, stress, trauma, and life transitions. It is certainly not necessary though to have identified a problem in order to meet with me, as I also work with people who are feeling stuck or unfulfilled in life to find ways to move forward differently. Couples most often contact me to work through relationship problems that have arisen, improve communication, and restore the connection."

"I am a psychotherapist and bodyworker in private practice for over 20 years. I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect to my work with young adults and adults.

Calling on the wisdom of many approaches, including Somatic Experiencing [Body- Based], Psychodrama, the work of Murray Bowen [Family Systems], and mindfulness practices, I work with individuals addressing a wide range of issues. Much of my work is focused on relationship and attachment. I especially work with individuals who have had challenging or traumatic relational histories."

"Would you like to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world you live in? Sometimes difficult moods, thoughts or circumstances seem to take over our lives and it's hard to remember what it's like to feel fully alive. I work with you, to help you access more of your authentic self, which can result in the alleviation of symptoms and help you better navigate life's challenges. "

"It is possible to get over the past, increase calm and self-confidence, elevate your mood, achieve peak performance, stop harming yourself, and change your habits. I utilize many mind-body techniques, including body work, to help make this happen. Sometimes it just takes more then talk. Sometimes the hardest part is making the initial call."

"Do you have questions or concerns about your drinking or drug use, or perhaps that of someone else? Have recent events in your life caused you to be sad, confused, or feeling alone? I can provide you with a safe and accepting environment with which to explore these uncomfortable feelings.

"I work primarily with adults and adolescents. This includes family work in support of the individual work, but I do not do ongoing family or couples therapy. I have experience working with a broad range of patients but most of my experience is with difficulties associated with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), problems with expression of anger, and teen/parent conflicts."

"I believe that therapy is most effective when it is empathic, collaborative, non-judgemental and non-pathologizing. I am deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. By talking together in ways which nurture curiosity, compassion and insight we will look at what troubles you, what brings you hope, and which patterns of thinking/feeling/being you are engaging in that are not serving you well now."

"I am an advance-trained clinical hypnotherapist and LCMHC. I have personally experienced the healing and growth that comes from using clinical hypnotherapy within a supportive therapeutic milieu.

I approach counseling from a client-centered perspective, meet people where they are at, and help them get to where they want to be without judgement or pressure."
