I believe anyone can have mental health problems at one time or another. I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient levels of care for both mental health and substance use. I'm an OCD specialist with training by the IOCDF and use ERP for that. Since the covid pandemic, I have been doing all sessions by telehealth. I have counseled people for many different reasons and I really love being a social worker....
My therapeutic approach is catered for each client. For those with anxiety disorders, I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help my clients learn about the intersections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Much of therapy includes learning and trying out new ways of thinking, utilizing coping skills that emphasize regulating your nervous system, and safely exposing yourself to anxiety-provoking things in...
As a therapist grounded in optimism and positivity, I view our conversations through a relationship lens as a means to help you work through the current dissatisfactions with your life. I do so by focusing on leveraging your own core strengths, so you can take concrete actions that enable personal growth and gratitude, which results in inspiring spectacular, authentic relationships, and a fuller life....

FEW OPENINGS ARE AVAILABLE* Oftentimes, people either are unaware of symptoms that arise over time or are told to simply get over them. I offer people the opportunity to be themselves, while also giving them the responsibility to work towards realistic goals they set. I have a history of working with both youth and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment, relationship issues, psychiatric issues, child/ parenting issues, grief, mandated care and co-occurring disorders. Together, we...
At times the stressors in life can be crushing and prevent us from achieving our goals, or even forming goals. Each person defines stress in unique terms that can produce anxiety; related to striving for perfection, or feeling alone, or persistent unhappiness with our appearance, or fearful, or overwhelmed by responsibilities. Sometimes one specific event can alter our lives forever; the loss of a loved one, sexual assault/abuse and rape, becoming the victim of violence and witnessing violence...
Imagine actually ENJOYING therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals. Since therapy is an intense process that tackles intense issues, we believe it should also include authenticity (on our part), humor, and flexibility. We love working with college students and are energetic, creative, and hands-on. We'll work together to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals. Our...
I have worked with college and graduate students for many years. Many have struggled with issues including low self esteem, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, learning disabilities, family conflict and socialization difficulties. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques ranging from traditional “talk” therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR, as needed. My primary goal is always to help the student to feel better, by gaining greater ins...

Do people tell you that you worry too much? That you should try to "be positive" or "stop overthinking everything all the time"?

Are you struggling with family and/or relationship issues? Do you suffer with anxiety and fear around life's decisions? When life becomes overwhelming, making a decision about where to find help should not add to the burden. Your success in therapy, often times depends on the right counseling relationship. So before you commit to any one therapist, talk to several. Because I feel strongly that the relationship is fundamental, I provide new clients with an introductory phone conversation so you c...
I specialize in helping adults heal from complex trauma and improve their quality of life. I enjoy working with the college aged population up to those in their 50's where we often explore the impact of childhood experiences on present day functioning, how to promote supportive relationships through communication skills and boundary implementation, and work on strengthening your sense of self to feel confident and empowered. Navigating life transitions, promoting sexual well-being, exploring spi...

So we'll look at context, history, family dynamics past and present as we sort out the issues you face. I'm also a licensed alcohol and drug counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals and families dealing with the effects o...
Sometimes it's really hard for us to ask for help-especially when you're a strong, independent woman. Therapy is a great way to reach out, learn more about yourself, and grow through any challenges you might be facing. I help women who want to change their relationship with food and their bodies. I work with women in individual, group, & virtual therapy. I have a holistic approach that covers a wide range of symptoms & issues, but I enjoy helping clients who have struggled with their weight m...
Trauma and pain from past and present experiences can stop you in your tracks, leaving you stuck in the same patterns, of thinking, feeling and behaving that eventually lead to building a life of obligation, duty and fear rather than one of fulfillment, meaning and connection. But with a little help, you can pause, learn tools, gain insights and figure out where and how you need to change direction. You are not responsible for everything that has happened to you AND you are responsible for makin...
