Hi, I'm Michele. I hope to meet you. It can be overwhelming to find a therapist who is a good fit - made harder when you may already be overwhelmed by the very reason you are seeking therapy in the first place! I know, I’ve been on the other side myself as a client. As a clinician, I partner with you to learn what your goals are for therapy. Sometimes these goals change during the course of therapy, and that's okay. It’s very important to me that you feel seen, heard and understood; this trusting relationship is the foundation of therapy. I came to this work during mid-life, after years in the private sector in consulting and software high-tech, which gives me a unique perspective. My own experiences with mid-life and navigating life's challenges, and losses have inspired my focus to support adults through difficult times; these dark times are often when we have the opportunity to grow and evolve if we pay attention! I don’t approach therapy as me being “the expert”; I’m here to work with you, to celebrate your success and help you bravely navigate the tough stuff, to continue on your unique path in a direction that aligns with your values. I bring a strength-based and solutions-oriented framework to my practice, encouraging us to get curious about what's working and focus on the here and now. While we work together to build self-awareness and gain insights, the hard work of therapy is often outside the therapy session: making adjustments, building coping skills, setting boundaries, focusing on what's in our control, practicing new habits/behaviors. Talk therapy will only take you so far, but is often the supportive space that is needed during a challenging phase of life to make changes.

Hi there, I'm Kristine. My philosophy in life is to live life knowing yesterday is gone, today is what matters, and tomorrow is out of our control. It is important to focus on life and be mindful and aware of ourselves. I use this in my practice to help my clients become self-aware and become their happiest selves. What I find most intriguing as a mental health professional is how therapy can be so empowering and life changing when the client believes and is open for a change. I believe strongly in my cultural values along with values of Social Work (respect, kindness, love, strong family values, gentleness, service to humanity, social justice, integrity, competence, human dignity and worth). The roles I play in life is of a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, licensed clinical social worker and a therapist. Someone who always has a leveled head and sees a way out. I pay attention to how I treat people in their most vulnerable times; hence, treat them as I would like to be treated. *** Please note that I am only able to schedule intakes on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***.

Hello! My name is Erika and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I can imagine that deciding on who to trust with your story can be overwhelming but I want to explain a bit about what my intentions are as your therapist. Ultimately, I truly believe that our perceptions can either help us or hinder our day to day lives. What we think/believe can negatively impact our feelings and our actions or even keep us in situations or relationships that are not healthy for us. Whether it’s increasing your self-awareness, creating balance, or improving your ability to cope, I will guide you through that process. Seeking help for your self-improvement is already a great first step! Opening up to a stranger is very scary and I prioritize creating a safe space for you. I plan to meet you where you are and guide you along the way to hopefully get you to where you aspire to be! My priority is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

Hi, I’m Chris. You may be here on a whim. You may want to capture a more positive experience of life. You may feel like your world is unmanageable or confusing. You may be absorbing an intolerable level of pain. I meet you where you are and provide a sounding board for understanding your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I am your collaborator and partner. Through our dialogue, you will begin to better understand your instincts and motivations. The goal, over time, is to uncover deeper insights. I actively listen, constructively challenge, and collaboratively teach. I am positive, compassionate, and non-judgmental. What makes this starting point so gratifying, is that you have already begun the work. By taking this first step, you are demonstrating readiness for positive change.
