Specializing in resolving loss and trauma, I've been a psychologist for 25+ years. I journey with clients through the tumultuous feelings of grief and trauma to a place of freedom, hope, and new capacity for closeness--experiencing with them the tears and laughter, "Aha's!" and "Oh No's!" that lead to change, growth and liking themselves and life. For helpful, hopeful blogs on resolving depression, grief and anxiety as well as tips on how good therapy works, see www.drmaribeth.com.

I practice a style of therapy that is both strengths based and solution focused. It is my belief that people have within themselves and the environment the ability and resources to heal and lead meaningful lives. Traumatic life events have the potential to keep individuals feeling stuck. It can prevent us from realizing our full potential and maintaining a healthy self -esteem. During the course of treatment EMDR therapy may be utilized to resolve those issues and facilitate solutions that work best for you based on your own life experience, beliefs and personal strengths.

I believe in the adaptive healing power that is innate in all of us. A large part of our negative reactions and self-defeating behavior come from the unconscious, that is outside of our reasoning and willpower. By tapping directly into the unconscious and changing the way some memories are stored in the brain, we can stop reacting and begin responding in an adaptive manner. As a licensed psychologist, I have worked with children and adolescents and their families for the past 20 years. I would love to guide you in your journey of self-discovery and wellness.

You cannot change what you don't understand. It's the lack of knowledge and understanding that many times leads to subconscious self-sabotage or intentional poor choices. I can help you gain insight that will not only help you understand your circumstances, but transform them. What I do is help redefine who you are so that when you attain that transformation, the changes you seek come naturally. How? By discovering your true identity, showing you who God designed you to be, and teach you how to make that truth louder and stronger than the "truth" of your daily living.

I am experienced in helping people with their thought processes as they encounter the difficulties and challenges of life. I work with individual adults, adolescents, and elementary school age children and their families.
