"Today you or your family are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I see therapy (individual, couples and family) as a collaborative effort to figure out what obstacles are getting in the way of you and your family's happiness. We explore past and current behaviors, thoughts, relationships, and make connections between past and current experiences to help create change. We can work together to create a new experience that not only gets you through the storm to the calm, but can help you or your family thrive."

"Helping people to feel better has always been my mission. No matter what the issue may be, I believe that there are choices and solutions to problems. Events happen in life, and then we have a choice in how we react to them, whether positive, neutral and negative. This is where I try to help people, in choosing their reactions while working through their feelings. Counseling is a discussion, and I try to guide people to make helpful solutions and to feel better about their lives. New understandings about your life and new behaviors can help you to feel better."

"As humans, we experience pain, loss, or difficulties in our lives as individuals and in our family relationships. We make our best efforts to cope, adapt or resolve these trying experiences on our own. But sometimes, we get stuck or they are too great to endure alone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe place, free of judgement, invested in exploring, healing, and growing. Together, we can work on the interpersonal, emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that hinder you and your relationships from reaching full potential."

"My specialty is centered around those who are undergoing life transitions, such as going from adolescence to adulthood; transitioning from college; building a family; or other adjustment issues with which people may struggle. Whether I'm working with an individual, couple, or a group, I continually seek out feedback as to how treatment is progressing for them. Therapy should be an effective collaborative effort. Additionally, I incorporate mind and body integration techniques, such as yoga and relaxation, which can relieve stress, anxiety and be helpful for numerous other issues."

"My goal is to help patients learn to be responders and to be in charge of themselves. Throughout treatment, a functional medicine approach is employed. Care collaboration is valued. Patients with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges benefit from a variety of cognitive behavioral, neurobehavioral, and psychophysiological modalities. Patients with such conditions as emotional and physical trauma, chronic pain, addictions, brain injuries and disorders (autism, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, motor and balance challenges, for example), sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression are treated. Individuals with neurological, autoimmune, metabolic, endocrinological, and other complex medical conditions find that the treatment modalities promote healing."

"I offer a caring and nonjudgmental environment in which clients can talk about feelings of depression and anxiety and difficulty coping with life's problems. Do you have low self-esteem or a lack of motivation? Do you need help to deal with a difficult relationship, to improve your self-image, to cope with marital conflict, or to take steps towards new goals for your life? I would like to offer you support and understanding. I work with clients to help them increase their self-esteem, resolve problems in their relationships, develop techniques to reduce anxiety and stress, learn coping skills, and build confidence about their capabilities."

"You the client, are the only one who truly knows who you are and what you need and want in your life. I can provide you with the tools and personal support needed to make significant positive changes in your life. My strong empathetic nature helps build rapport and trust by tuning into and appreciating your feelings, hopes and fears. I offer you an ability to see beyond the self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, and bring creativity to helping you find your strengths and turn your goals into reality. I have 25 years of professional experience utilizing a holistic approach to helping people heal and grow."

"The idea of therapy can be overwhelming for anyone that hasn't sought it before or for someone who desires to restart therapy. My job as a licensed clinical social worker is not only to support you with whatever issue is taking place, but also to make you feel comfortable and safe to communicate what is usually very personal."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed... maybe even depressed about your current situation? Have you tried to make your situation better on your own without much success? In my private practice, I work with clients to help them feel like themselves again and/or feel better than they ever thought possible. As a therapist and coach, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere in which clients feel comfortable expressing their feelings. I help clients get unstuck and help them move forward in their lives."

"Out of the hundreds of therapists listed, how do you know who is right for you? Most likely, you'll want to talk to an experienced therapist who understands how struggling with stress can lead to feeling depressed, moody, irritable or anxious. Whether, you've lost connection with your family or find yourself spending needless energy meeting the expectations of others; you'll want to talk to a therapist who will help you feel safe and supported. I've worked for many years in business and am now a licensed psychotherapist."

"Most people would change what is making them unhappy, if they could. I feel my job is to help you become aware of the parts of yourself that are negatively impacting you.I help you look at the patterns that are making you feel stuck. We work together to understand what prevents you from attaining a better relationship with yourself and your loved ones. I believe that all humans desire to understand and to be understood.

"Congratulations on taking this important step toward improving your life. I believe that in order to grow and make changes in their life, people need validation, support & practical skills. I strive to provide empathic, supportive & productive therapeutic relationships so you can feel safe while moving toward your goals. Each person's situation is unique and my therapy approach is designed to meet your individual needs. Many of my clients suffer from problems of emotional regulation (borderline personality, PTSD, depression, anxiety & bipolar) most effectively addressed by dialectical behavior therapy. However, no matter the approach, it is the healing energy created when two people sit together and mindfully focus on connection and healing that leads to healing and growth. Together we make that happen."

"As a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice, I specialize in helping clients with issues that keep them from feeling and performing at their best. Using an holistic and interpersonal approach allows me to integrate aspects of the whole self.

The approaches I use give clients the ability to take the initiative, evaluate and then make a plan of action. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a challenge in itself. But in the end I want to meet the client where they are at and go from there. Where applicable I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, play therapy, career/coaching and other modalities in practice."
