Living a healthy vital life, with fulfilling relations, is our natural state. Many of us don't experience that, and sometimes conclude it isn't even possible. I help people recognize how they are getting in their own way, and how to have more awareness and make better life choices, so they can be their natural self instead of trying to be something different.

I believe that each of us wants to live a purposeful and meaningful life. In my clinical practice, I utilize a theory known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We all encounter trials and challenges which bring painful thoughts and emotions that we want to avoid. However, the avoidance of these difficult internal experiences leads us to feeling stuck and unable to overcome them. Avoidance can take many forms such as denial, substance use, distraction, shaming, anxiety, and depression.

Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

While discussing mental health has become somewhat more common, it might not be a topic that you feel comfortable bringing up with close friends or family. If you have felt that you were alone as you experience symptoms like a lack of concentration, uncontrollable negative thoughts, or feeling like you are in 'autopilot' I would be honored to guide your recovery process. I believe that anxiety and depression are shared experiences that we all encounter during periods of heightened stressors in our lives, and that the goal of therapy is to help us identify what our thoughts and choices that do not align with our goals.

Up to 25 % of the population is highly sensitive. Do you wonder if you are? Do you seem to notice things that others don't? Do you feel easily stressed or exhausted? Maybe you are anxious or get overstimulated easily. You may have even been misdiagnosed! Do you feel misunderstood because you are different? Perhaps you struggle with self compassion and confidence because you were told that "you're too sensitive." If any of this resonates with you let's have a free chat to find out if we are a good fit to work together. My specialty is educating HSPs to claim their sensitivity as their greatest asset!

For most people, the decision to start therapy is a significant one. It is important to find a therapist who understands your concerns and feels like a competent, caring ally in the work of change. Therapy is work and requires effort. The energy needed to just find a clinician can feel overwhelming. However, sharing your story with someone who is supportive and non-judgemental is helpful and working together to learn new coping skills builds confidence and self-esteem.

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.
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 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.
