I specialize in therapy for athletes, with a dual focus on improving both mental health and sports performance. I also specialize in therapy for individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, or depression. I believe that mental health is an experience, not an illness or disorder. I help clients focus on connecting with their experience, moving them towards a better understanding of self and away from the pursuit of trying to fix themselves. Those I work with often report this perspective and approach enables them to move forward in their lives, despite the challenges and difficulties they face.

I embrace a client-centered approach that places you at the center of this journey. I aim to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Everyone is beautifully complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to our challenges. That's why I also integrate elements of an eclectic therapeutic style into our work together. I have 12 years of experience working as a high school counselor and supporting adolescents and their families through the ups and downs of life. I look forward to working with you!

In my mind, the ideal client a person who has identified that some aspect of their life has stopped working for them. That person wants the help to make their life back to a working order. I enjoy helping with a variety of clientele, couples, and individuals. People who seek out a counselor to validate the fact that change is necessary, and desire professional help to collaborate in identifying their own natural strengths (or at least potential capabilities) towards overcoming difficulties seem to be very goal oriented.

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

I know first hand how discouraging it is to have a therapist you just don't click with (or think is a total wack-a-doo). Its frustrating to open up only to have someone say, "that must be hard" and little else week after week! One of the most important factors in a successful therapeutic experience is the relationship between therapist and client. I believe in this so strongly that our first session together will be free so you can meet me and see for yourself if this is a good fit. You need someone personable and genuine to relate to; to help you feel safe, challenge you to grow, and possibly even make you laugh.

The experiences in my life have gifted me with compassion, empathy, and a greater perspective; they have molded me into a far better version of myself than I could have ever imagined. If anyone believes that change is possible, it is me. Life is full of the unexpected, and we aren't always equipped with the tools to meet each challenge that comes our way. It is my hope to help you build upon your own experiences and expand the tools and resources you have internally and externally.

One saying that has been impactful for me is “life’s greatest battles are fought out daily in the silent chambers of the soul.” You are one-of-a-kind and your story is unique. There are a number of factors that influence your pain and desperation. I love the sacred opportunity to provide a space for you to explore your silent chambers. I believe that with quality guidance and sensitivity, pain and suffering can open the door to an ongoing discovery of deep freedom, sweetness, and joy.

I'm looking to help individuals who are finding it difficult to live their fullest lives because of anxiety, depression, stress, and the many other challenges that come from life and its many relationships. If you're hoping to improve any area of your relationships (dating to greater marital satisfaction or just engaging with those around you), I would love to help you. It can be scary facing our fears and anxieties but my desire is to enable you with skills and the mindset to tackle them head on. I'm happy to help teenagers and older, individuals, couples, and families.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
