I am committed and interested in helping my clients strengthen their connections to others while simultaneously developing the tools to create personal feelings of confidence, strength, and fulfullment within themselves. Although I cater to each client specifically, my general plan of action consists of the immediate alleviation of symptoms, in concert with an in-depth look at related patterns established throughout the client's lifetime. In other words, first we can tend to the flower's blossom, but then let us tend to its roots.

Everyone experiences stress, loss, hardship, and conflict within themselves or with others. And we can all relate to sometimes feeling stuck - aware that we want things to get better but we aren't sure where to begin, or we feel a bit confused about what is even wrong. Maybe you want to improve your relationships, or learn to better manage your stress. Maybe you have a sense that your past is negatively affecting you in the present. Maybe you wish you felt better about yourself and could reign in your inner critic. Or perhaps you are going through a major life transition and would like support navigating your new roles.

My practice focuses on working with people going through major transitions in their work, relationships and/or sense of self.

Like a cat with 9 lives, we humans also have a strong capacity to find a new life after loss.
Many of my clients are highly-sensitive, creative and/or spiritually-oriented people. My job is to help you listen to and trust your own experience. Making friends with yourself will help you can create a life in which you can truly thrive.

How can you learn to let go? People suffer because of things have happened to them: a bad relationship, family issues, transitions to a new life stage, early childhood trauma. Sometimes it feels like those past injuries hold you in place, make it so you’re barely treading water. These injuries cause anxiety and depression, addiction, nightmares, isolation, a lack of connection.

There aren’t many things in life that are as satisfying as feeling “at home” with your partner or other loved ones. You feel safe, cared for, understood and connected. You feel like when you express yourself, you’re being heard, valued, and held in kindness and compassion. Alternatively, there aren’t many things in life that can feel as awful as feeling disconnected from your partner or other loved ones. You can feel unheard, misunderstood, uncared for, defensive, angry, resentful, sad, and scared. And it can feel like there’s no solution.

The clients I work with have oftentimes felt disenfranchised and misunderstood. They put forth amazing effort, but continue to struggle in finding a path out of cycles of survival, trauma, and scarcity. They are interested in their own growth and change across a variety of realms - relationships, family, identity, and purpose. They are open to self-reflection, even though it can be scary. Goals include: learning to be interdependent instead of people pleasing, finding a sense of self after a life of trauma, slowing cycles of self-harm & suicidal ideation, moving from self-loathing to peace, and navigating systemic violence.

My clients are good people who often desire to replace stuck patterns of thought, belief and action with more thoughtful & embodied ways of being that align with their values, foster self confidence, and yield more fulfilling relationships. Some have a history of abuse or neglect (emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual), or were raised in homes where boundaries, roles, and expectations were rigid, confusing, or lacking. Clients often share a desire to live a more integrated life, leaving behind outgrown beliefs and patterns. I support clients in living with fewer “shoulds,” and with more curiosity, connection, peace and joy.

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.
