It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure you can find someone who can connect with you or understand your family dynamics. I enjoy working with preteens, teens, young adults and parents. If you are a parent of a teen in therapy I will keep you involved in the process. If you are a parent, family or an individual who is seeking a therapist that places a high value on providing a safe judgment free zone I look forward to working with you and guiding you to realize your capacity for growth. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and I look forward to getting to know you and your story! My philosophy on therapy comes from a humanistic approach with the idea that you can work through and feel a range of emotions without having to suppress them. Life is full of chaos, boredom, joy, and so much more! Each family and individual is unique in what they offer. I hope we can go on this path of discovery and self-reflection together. I come from a place of cultural humility and hold the belief that addressing cultural diversity and race in psycho-therapy is important work in order to develop a higher standard of care in this area. I have been working in the field of social work/mental health since 2003, and have been a master’s level clinician since 2008 in different settings. [Read More]

My goal is to help you become clearer on where you are so you are able to acknowledge your pain, heal and find the freedom to experience life in a new way, making new decisions, and finding fulfillment. I work with clients who are feeling “stuck” and inevitably struggle with addictions, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, unsatisfying relationships, and unfulfilling work. I believe we are all worthy of living the life we intended – in finding the power to overcome our current circumstance thereby living a happier and more meaningful life. In my practice, I facilitate individuals, groups, and family sessions through self discovery and assessment. Together, we work on the challenges and issues you face. By using a solutions-focused treatment model, I am able to effectively evaluate and help. Through this process, I determine the negative cognitions, so we are able to focus on the positive. My passion for therapy is often recognized by my clients. I strongly believe that we’re the masters of our own minds, and with the right guidance, we can overcome and become anything. Allow me the opportunity to help you create a better you, so you’re able to live a “Life with Ease”. I have appointments available in the mornings, afternoons and on Saturdays. [Read More]

The process of counseling is unlike any other. It can be a transformative experience from which I believe everyone can benefit. I work from a developmental standpoint, matching interventions to clients’ developmental level and needs. I use play therapy for young children, activity therapy for older children (tweens), and talk therapy or expressive arts therapy for teens, adults, and couples. I bring two unique aspects to my counseling services: I utilize expressive arts and interpersonal neurobiology. Expressive arts is a modality geared towards discovering deeper aspects of yourself that may be difficult to access through verbal means. Interpersonal Neurobiology uses neuroscience in counseling. Through engaging in a new form of relating, geared towards changing brain functioning, clients’ brains respond differently and create long lasting results. I have been fortunate enough to learn throughout my years of practicing from the most important information source: my clients. I feel honored to do what I love and be a part of this unique experience called counseling. I look forward to continuing this process with you. www.hlscounseling.com [Read More]

 I am an anxiety and OCD specialist. I believe that people can learn to move on from their anxiety or OCD without the need for long-term treatment. I generally work with my clients for long sessions in a short period of time instead of one hour a week for many months. Most people find that within that short window they have the skills needed to understand and work with their anxiety independently. I use exposure and response prevention (ERP) in longer and more intensive sessions. I have found that these longer sessions enable people to understand and conduct exposures in a way that is more impactful than weekly therapy offers. I will work with you to understand, correct, and move on from anxiety or OCD. If you choose to work with me I will develop a treatment plan for you by the end of our first meeting. Treatment will be focused on comprehending and moving on from you anxiety or OCD. You should not be in treatment forever, you should be able to move on with your life. Please reach out to me for a free consultation. [Read More]
