My belief is that we enter life with an inherent idea of who we are and what we want to accomplish. As we strive for acceptance, we cover ourselves in layers of others' expectations, eventually losing our ‘selves’ in the process. My desire is to help you strip away these layers to discover who you are at your core. We do this together by using feedback, intuitive healing, trauma informed therapy, dream work and active imagination. We do this by sitting with and listening to your stories of pain and unmet needs. We exchange heavier emotional layers with lighter ones until you can then stand in your own original brilliance.

Not Accepting New Clients. I think we all truly want to make more sense of ourselves, our experiences, and our environment. We want to feel engaged and nurtured in our relationships. We may pursue therapy to find self-compassion and acceptance, notice and give voice to the different parts of ourselves, rediscover our whole being, and strengthen our relationships. I acknowledge and affirm your strengths, while addressing with you those patterns that leave you feeling stuck. Through an open, curious, warm, relational style, I will listen to your story, and help you make the changes you’re interested in making.

It takes courage to reach out for help. Sometimes we go through life struggling and not being quite sure why. Sometimes an event of magnitude shakes us up and we realize we need guidance. I hope to offer a safe space in which you can feel free to explore your unique inner world and work on what is causing you distress. I strongly believe in utilizing a warm, nonjudgmental and welcoming approach using empathy, skill-building and humor to help you gain insight, process emotions and work on your goals.

I help people who have been considered "non-traditional" in many ways, people who have been "othered", who have felt like outcasts and outsiders their whole lives. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected, stuck in patterns, at a crossroads, hitting a wall, desiring change or just needing nonjudgmental guidance. You don't have to do this alone. Prioritizing your healing is a powerful way we positively impact ourselves and others. Together we create a supported container for whatever you bring, in order to facilitate deep understanding and create workable sustainable solutions.

At the moment, given that I am working 28 hours per week for a medical organization as a mental health therapist while going full-time to law school (one more semester to go after this one!), I can only do groups and only two per week. Because ADHD has been one of my specialties for about a decade now, these are the groups I am offering. I hope to expand my practice during the summer when I finish my current semester of law school.

I believe each person has the power and knowledge within them to move towards increased wellness and healing. Due to many factors we can lose track of our best selves, feel off course and get overwhelmed. Some of these factors include trauma, chronic stress, oppression, loss, abuse, lack of healthy modeling, low self esteem, reliance on substances and self-medicating, and much more. No matter how we get off course, therapy is a powerful tool that can help us understand how we have come to this specific place in our lives, as well as help us to look at where we want to go and who we want to become moving forward.

My experience has also brought me to working with those with addiction, chronic pain, comorbid disorders, body image issues, gender questions, and self-harm. I have a particular affinity for people who have endured trauma and who feel like they are outsiders. I pride myself in being culturally sensitive and welcoming to all, and someone who works as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

We all get stuck sometimes; and we suffer. Life often feels messy and chaotic, and in the midst of "the daily grind" we experience ourselves as unbalanced, fragmented, and "all over the place." Life is perpetually full of transition and change; and our habituated ways of being in the world are often at odds with the ebb and flow of life's events, and we experience stress, conflict and pain. Despite our resources, strategies and efforts to cope with challenges, we often get stuck; and end up feeling dissatisfied with ourselves, disenchanted with others, and disconnected from life, vitality, joy.

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.
