If you are feeling suffocated under the pressure and weight of anxiety, depression, and stress, I want to assist you in regaining an interest in life and the fullness therein. I help individuals who long to feel complete and fulfilled and who seek to better understand the meaning of self as they deal with past issues that limit their ability to do so. My goal is to assist you in overcoming issues of trauma that may have left you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled and incomplete. My hope is to provide a pathway to healing and to a more full and complete life. My approach is direct and relatable. As there is no singular or individual method to success in therapy, we will address the issues together as a team with a united front prepared to succeed. To address trauma related issues, I use CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Client -Centered Therapy. I believe the most beautiful pictures are created from broken pieces.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, excessive worry, and phobias. I utilize evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). As a clinician, I aim to create a collaborative, non judgmental, and supportive space where you can confront your fears, build resilience, and move toward a life that reflects your values—not your anxiety.
I am a mental health counselor with experience working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and marital counseling. My greatest passion and experience is with working with those experiencing grief. While I see clients of many different faith traditions and none, I am trained in Christian integration for those that wish to discuss their faith in relation to their current or past struggles.
I aim to create a safe space for you to bring your whole self to therapy. I have been often told that there is a presence about me that makes folks feel understood. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT to help you understand and respond to your emotions so that you feel less overwhelmed and more free. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and eating disorders. We will also work together to increase mindfulness and self-compassion. As a member of the LGBT community, I have a special expertise in serving LGBTQ clients as well as poly and kink communities. Whether you are navigating a complicated political climate, reducing shame and growing in pride and self-acceptance, or exploring new pronouns or identity labels, I will be with you all the way!
Substance abuse and addiction affect millions of people. Whether you are struggling with alcohol or drugs, there is a way to overcome those struggles and lead a happy and productive life. Addiction is a subtle foe, and will make people believe they can handle their problems by themselves. The truth is, most people cannot. I believe in meeting clients where they are, and tailoring treatment to the individual. Everyone has a different story and a different life situation, but the way addiction makes people feel about themselves is Universal. I have over 25 years of experience working with people trying to recover. I offer individual and family substance abuse and addiction counseling, and recovery coaching. It would be my privilege to be able to help you.
When we are changing and growing, we can often feel anxious, overwhelmed, disoriented or uncertain. It is possible to move through the discomfort and regain our sense of empowerment. Experiences in our past can show up in our present relationships, mood, behavior and worldview. Counseling may include a combination of experiential, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. We'll build off your strengths and explore what will be most helpful for you. Weekend and evening appointments available. My beliefs include: There is no such thing as unusual behavior if you know someone's whole story • We don’t exist in a vacuum • Science is real • Black lives matter • Women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights • The struggle is real but we don't have to go through it alone • Kindness and social justice are worth fighting for.
I help people who dream about achieving a balance in life, who seek to be their true authentic selves but hold themselves back because of fear, uncertainty or trauma they've experienced. If you are living with this dream, but are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome or feel as if you lack the ability to cope- I would love to work with you. It is my pleasure to serve individuals of different ethnic backgrounds that may speak English or Spanish. My approach is trauma informed and person-centered. I will support you by building a strong therapeutic relationship and working collaboratively on your goals, so that you may feel empowered to face your personal challenges. I believe that people are their own experts and as a therapist I am there to provide a safe, judgement-free space and assist in the process by incorporating evidence-based techniques and interventions. That's why I hope you give yourself the opportunity to experience therapy and all it has to offer.
Hello! My name is Anna and I work primarily with women and relationship issues. I specialize in Narcissistic Victim Syndrome and also work with self-esteem issues, stress and coping. My residency was in addiction so I am comfortable with this issue as well. My practice is really laid-back. I also give clients my personal cell phone number so we can text each other between sessions.
Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but inside you feel like you're barely hanging on. You’d like to understand yourself more and learn skills that help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have reported that they understand themselves better, struggle less, and feel more at ease overall. They've learned to treat themselves with more kindness than criticism, and to shift from self-destructive to life-giving behaviors. They’ve learned to handle their emotions more effectively (especially fear, anger, and sadness), to listen to their own voice (how they feel, what they like, what they want), and to feel more like themselves. People who've worked with me in counseling have described me as gentle, down-to-earth, funny, and flexible. I am thoughtful and love to read, and to bring to my work a lot of skills and stories from varied sources. I’m also artsy and creative, and love to adapt metaphors and strategies that apply uniquely and directly to clients’ lives. As a therapist, I’m not so much interested in “fixing problems” as in coming alongside you to listen and to share honestly what stands out and what might help. I welcome people with diverse backgrounds and identities. I believe in growth and development across the lifespan and that we are *always* in the process of becoming. With nearly two decades of experience and extensive training as a therapist, I am passionate about highlighting women’s voices and stories and feelings. What I love about my work as a therapist is finding ways to help women be exactly who they already are, which I believe, paradoxically, is the path toward healing and change.

Have you ever wanted to make a change but were unsure of how to take the first step? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then art therapy can be a helpful resource for you. Hi, I'm Catherine, and I'm an Art Therapist. Since 2007, I have been helping my clients engage in their own art making, creativity, and self-inquiry as a way to find ease among life’s many challenges. As an Art Therapist and a Registered Yoga Teacher, I can guide you in art making, mindfulness, yoga, and self-compassion to help you relieve stress, cope with anxiety and depression, restore your energy, and discover new and creative ways to cope with simply being human. I understand the healing powers of creativity, mindfulness, and yoga not only from my work as an Art Therapist but because I have experienced the profound benefits myself for chronic pain, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, and professional burnout. Because of this experience, it is my mission to help you navigate this stressful time in your life and find the tools from within to leave you feeling calm, capable, and confident in whatever situation you may be facing.

You’re capable, intelligent, and driven — but lately anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt may feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve always been the “high-achiever,” yet no matter how much you accomplish, it never quite feels like enough. Between academics, relationships, family expectations, and planning your future, it’s exhausting to carry so much on your own. What if you could pursue your goals without constant worry, comparison, or burnout? I specialize in working with college women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and major life transitions. College can bring independence and opportunity — but also imposter syndrome, relationship stress, identity shifts, and unresolved experiences from the past. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience that actually lasts beyond graduation. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide practical tools and trauma-informed support to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and heal from what’s still impacting you. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, navigating friendships and dating, recovering from painful experiences, or feeling stuck in anxiety loops, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with who you are — outside of grades, expectations, and pressure. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel calm, confident, and grounded in this season of life.
