Toni has experience working with all types of people navigating a variety of issues but specializes in treating individuals who experience anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem and parenting stress as well as those going through a major life change. She helps clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and experiences in order to promote healing and acceptance. Clients will learn more about the specific issues that brought them into therapy and will leave with a plan of how to manage their feelings, improve their sense of self and feel confident in overcoming future obstacles by developing simple coping skills.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or stress? As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide space for clients to explore themselves with curiosity and thoughtfulness, gain insight, and address any conflict restricting them from fulfillment in relationships. I view therapy as a safe place that promotes healing. I work with a range of clients including (but not limited to): committed partnerships, LGBTQIA partnerships, premarital couples, and polyamorous relationships. I believe that the process of therapy should be a collaborative one, with the client seen as the “expert” on their own life.

A comprehensive assessment of each individual's needs will be the first step to determine the type of treatment. Respect for each individual's time, circumstances and targeted goals will be kept in the forefront of all treatment decisions. I welcome parents to be prepared to participate thoroughly in the treatment of their child, preteen or adolescent. Therapeutic care requires commitment from the family and the individual. Adult clients will value the secure and growth promoting interventions used that lead to meaningful emotional regulation and change.

Let’s walk through the beach, the woods. Take a sip of tea with fresh mint, and enter a world of imagination, creativity, become one with the river, no judgment, safety, healing, serenity, grounding, love, solace, and always meeting you where you’re at. I take a holistic approach and focus on the mind body connection. I believe guided imagery meditation, motivational interviewing, dbt, creativity, psychodynamic, trauma informed care, emdr, and person centered approaches are ideal. I prefer to assist anyone who has felt demoralized or ostracized because of who they are. I believe we can impact the world together one smile at a time.

Sometimes life can get difficult or overwhelming, and it is during those times that reaching out to someone who is understanding and supportive can help get us back on track. I've had the privilege of being that someone to many people throughout the past 20 years. I have extensive experience and education in the field of therapeutic counseling, helping others to overcome the mental and emotional difficulties that hold them back from reaching their goals. I love working together with my clients, building a relationship in which they feel safe to talk about their deepest cares and concerns.

I know there's no one size fits all approach to therapy! I work with individuals, groups, or families to provide a safe and positive therapeutic environment by assisting each individual in meeting their treatment goals.

Life presents its challenges to all of us. What leaves us feeling anxious, depressed, angry or stuck is our thoughts and beliefs about what life has laid before us. When you can begin to view these challenges with an increased sense of awareness and acceptance it becomes much easier to skillfully navigate through life's obstacles.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling to sort through life's journey. As an active listener, I have a strong desire to help others. I have the ability to instill confidence in people that are struggling with self-esteem. I am a coach in the art of motivation - I inspire others when they cannot recognize their potential! I use motivational interviewing to help clients work through ambivalence by supporting their efforts to change while identifying discrepancies between goals, values, and actions.

Do you struggle with anxiety/depressive-like symptoms? Do you have changes within your workplace or relationships? You may have goals to improve communication within the workplace and social/ family relationships, develop coping skills such as mindfulness and distress tolerance, and reframe thinking and response effectively within interpersonal settings. Achieving these goals would benefit you by improving self-esteem and attachment issues and obtaining a better quality of life.

As I think about my journey as an artist - evolving toward art therapy and the clinical world, honing in on my definitions and applications, while recognizing art’s interventions in my own life - I realize these ideals are why I started a therapeutic private practice many years ago. Any creative process can be healing and the possibilities are infinite when blending the process with deep discussion, clinical based talk therapies, spiritual connection, life coaching and vocational services. I have made it my life's mission in sharing these tools to facilitate personal growth, positive change and reach one’s ultimate potential.

Therapy does not have to be a last resort for when your mental health deteriorates and/or life becomes unmanageable. Ideally, it is a space you enter in order to safely explore your thoughts and feelings about not only yourself, but the world around you without judgment. Therapy affords you opportunities to pinpoint what is important to you, and how you can take concrete actions to live with greater fulfillment, authenticity, and empowerment.

Welcome! Let's explore new potential and strategies for managing anxiety, sadness, fears, and worries or improving your relationships. I'm here to help. I have received advanced training to assist you and your partner in healing and reconnecting. My approach is integrative and systemic, considering attachment theory and how it relates to all aspects of being human. I deeply respect and value your unique perspectives and cultural background as we work together. As a Therapist, I aim to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for my clients where they feel welcomed and accepted.

I believe that when struggling with concerns and issues like lack of finances, anxiety, depression, traumatic events, and strained relationships, the individual needs to have a supportive ear and a nonjudgmental point of view to process and explain their feelings. Being heard is an essential key in the therapeutic process. The therapeutic process is about improving on your strengths and strengthening your weaknesses. My goal is to make your life your reality by working with you to help improve your life.
