Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #108619 Clinical Supervisor To be heard and understood is one of our most basic, fundamental human needs. Losses, life transitions, relationships, and even extended periods of stress can cause us to feel confused, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. You are not alone if you have found yourself struggling in any of these areas. My primary goal is to welcome you into a safe and collaborative space where personal growth can be fostered, and hope can begin. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with clients of all ages who need help and support in the areas of stress management, relationship discord, parenting, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and adjustment to life transitions, such as divorce, the diagnosis of a serious illness, and empty nest. Seeking help takes strength. Making the decision to reach out to a therapist is a courageous first step and you are one step closer to getting the judgment-free support you deserve. |

Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #14634 Think of your favorite mixed candy with that one flavor you refuse to eat; now, imagine half of the bag being filled with that flavor. Life can be similar to that bag. Traumatic events, loss of loved ones, unexpected career transitions, sudden changes in health, and coping with disabilities can cause feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, symptoms of PTSD, or grief. You do not have to walk in it alone. My goal is to walk with you on this journey called life in a non-judgmental space where you will be provided tools to pave a new path for yourself that you will be happy with. I am an associate professional clinical counselor currently under the supervision of a licensed mental health provider. I work with clients 8 and up. My areas of clinical focus are anxiety, depression, grief, living with disabilities or sudden changes in health, anger, career transitions, and trauma. You have taken the first challenging step towards healing and growth by researching what is suitable for you. You are STRONG, you are CAPABLE, and you CAN DO THIS! Don’t feel you have to do it alone. I’ll walk with you if you let me. |

I am here to work with you in overcoming some of life’s biggest challenges. My experience has been with a focus on improving your overall quality of life. Collaboratively, I work with my clients to help them heal from the effects of trauma, work through grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles or relationship issues.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #148002 Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. As we go through life, our personal experiences become a part of our story and shape our identity. Sometimes, life is hard. We become trapped inside our “problem-saturated stories,” which can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. When we are able to view ourselves as separate from our problems, we become empowered to take back our story, and we begin to understand our problems in new ways. We begin to heal. We have the power, at any given moment, to say, “This is not how my story is going to end!” As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am able to provide therapy to those who are struggling with anxiety or depression, have experienced trauma or grief, or struggle with relationship distress or stress management. I can help you use the knowledge and skills you already have to reshape your story. I can empower you to find meaning in your life. If you are feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or hopeless, please reach out to schedule an initial visit. It is possible to take back the power in your story and find more meaning in life. I would be honored to listen to and hold your story. “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brené Brown |

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #147481 Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani once said, "We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are." During our sessions, we will work together to increase self-awareness surrounding long-standing cognitions in order to nurture congruence between your intrapersonal world and outward actions. My approach is influenced by existentialist, psychodynamic, and attachment theories, as well as mentalization based treatment. In other words, I work through several combined approaches in order to help you identify how your past experiences have shaped the way you view the world today. It is in this way that we will work together to lay the foundation for you to create and maintain thriving relationships. Every person is different. With this in mind, we will collaboratively build a tailored approach that is influenced in part by CBT, DBT, Bowenian theory, mindfulness, and MBT. I've worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures, as well as families and individuals of all ages. I am experienced in helping my clients through self-esteem issues, identity exploration, intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, and grief. Collaboratively, we will work toward goals we set together, celebrating achievements along the way. |

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #138031 Are you ready to break out of the cycle of your thought patterns and the default functioning of your past? You are not alone in this want for yourself. You are seen and I am here with you to be part of that process to break free. We can get trapped in the stories we either choose to tell ourselves or the stories that we allow to be created due to past hurt, trauma, addiction, and generational cycles. Remaining in these stories at times can lead to poor coping skills, comfortability in the dysfunction our stories bring (because its familiar and predictable) and ultimately impact our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. As time passes and things remain the same, we tend to believe ‘what’s the point’, ‘this is my life, and this is who I am.’ However, as we come together, it is possible to break free and rediscover who you are, but that process isn’t always simple. It’s easier to be within the familiar rather than step out into something we have not done before. Taking this first step, is the most freeing thing you are doing for yourself and who you are is valuable and deserving to be invested in. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, my purpose, is to help my clients understand and become self-aware in how their thoughts, behaviors and feelings impact their life and can be overcome. Through various theoretical approaches with clients from diverse populations and all ages, I can provide therapy to those who are struggling with depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship distress and have experienced trauma. It would be a privilege to hold space for you and intently listen to your story and work together to take the steps to break free. "Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain, and you feel the rain, but, importantly, YOU ARE NOT THE RAIN.” — Matt Haig |
