I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time.

I am rooted in an approach that predominantly pulls from existential-humanistic and psychodynamic psychologies. I believe that the client is the expert of their experience, and that their experience within the present can be connected to their experience of the past – creating and maintaining particular dynamics between the self and others. I also use the therapeutic relationship to inform the work – providing for corrective emotional experiences and empowering my clients to strive for the embodiment of an authentic self.

In order for effective change to happen in psychotherapy there has to be a good alliance between therapist and client. I seek to provide a sense of safety and understanding so that issues can be explored, overcome or reconciled. I work with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress related illness, anger management problems and relationship issues. My intention is to help people improve their overall health, enhance their well being, recognize their inherent strengths and feel more fulfilled.

Life is full of ups and downs; twists and turns; unpredictability and chaos at times; excitement and joy; grief and loss; and a combination of various life events, which can lead to feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry, fearful, and not knowing exactly which way to turn. I have always had a passion for helping others! It is rewarding and satisfying when I can pass on my knowledge gained throughout my own life experience combined with my educational background and watch the progression as someone feels empowered to utilize the skills learned in therapy to create the life they envision for themselves!

Life can be exciting, scary, beautiful, painful, and most often is a combination of all of these. It may feel that the ground beneath us constantly shifts as we work to keep our balance. Some days it is a challenge just to get out of bed and face the day. Other days seem easy, we have energy and we wonder how to make it last. At times we may find ourselves engaging in unhealthy behaviors trying to quiet the anxiety that never completely resolves no matter how hard we try. Self-doubt creeps in, we question not only our choices but our very selves. Traumatic events, recent or remote, may shake our foundation and make us wonder if we will ever feel safe again. Life is hard and messy and beautiful, all at the same time. Therapy can help you discover your personal strengths and resources, allowing you to confidently face the hard and messy parts. Therapy can also help you connect with your courage to pursue and embrace all that makes life beautiful for you. In addition to acceptance, empathy and guidance, I offer my belief in your ability to grow and flourish when you can’t find it in yourself.

Most days your body feels like it is on high alert, waiting for something bad to happen. You have feelings of danger panic or dread, and it is making it more and more difficult to get through your day. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, you tell yourself, but this nervousness and tension is starting to interfere in your day to day activities- work, family, friends and fun. You can’t concentrate and feel like you overthink everything. A restful night’s sleep seems to be a thing of the past, and you are worried it is impacting your physical health. As your irritability increases, you realize this is no way to live.

My practice is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families. Entering therapy is a significant decision and making this decision comes from a place of strength. I have an appreciation for this strength, and consider it an important part of the therapy process. Making personal changes can be challenging. The aim of therapy is to help people make changes within their thoughts, feelings, and relationships that lead to being their most authentic self. I consider myself as an invited guest into the client's life and it is an honor to be a part of the process.

Entering therapy is an act of self care that takes courage. It is an opportunity to take pause and honor who we are and how we got here. My approach is to encourage clients to dig deep into what it means to be happy, content, and fulfilled. This process is as much about the questions as it is the answers. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves and their relationships, build insight and distress tolerance, and to develop a "toolbox" to better communicate and relate with their loved ones. Combined, this results in a refined awareness of self and a deeper permission to feel, change, and grow.

Relationship paves the best road to healing. As a therapist, I draw from numerous schools of thought, but the most important thread in my practice is the consistent positive regard I have for my clients. I'd love to help you uncover latent or unexamined strengths, move them to the forefront of your personal narrative, and reframe tired stories that have worn out their welcome. I'm especially interested in helping you define your personal values and leverage your strengths to pursue them. I want to cocreate a pad that launches you into your best life.

Most people come to therapy due to poor quality of life. I connect you to the resources and tools you need to improve; most people already have the answers inside themselves. My job is to help guide you down life's road and uncover your full potential. When you are motivated to change, I will provide the steps toward the most significant outcome. Therapy is a unique opportunity to have an unbias, nonjudgmental space to understand you fully. Your goal is to increase the quality of your life, and my goal is to help you accomplish that. My practice and I believe that actionable steps are needed to make lasting change.

I work within a strength-based, cognitive behavioral approach (CBT), with a significant emphasis on Cognitive Restructuring - aka changing your patterns of thinking. I maintain unconditional positive regard for my clients, and offer what I hope will become a safe space for people to talk about difficult things and set achievable, measurable, positive goals for their futures. I offer Telehealth but also provide Mobile Therapy for clients who fit criteria; I find that conducting therapy in a child or teen's home can provide a safe space for them to feel comfortable and to have greater access to care.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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.
What type of therapist is right for me?
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, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
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 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.
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.
