It takes courage and strength to initiate and engage in therapeutic work. I respect and honor those seeking help and feel privileged for my role in their process. I work with adults to help relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve their quality of relationships, heal past trauma and a variety of other human concerns. I have particular experience working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma.

In this day and age we have so many things pulling us in all directions. We have doctors appointments, school functions, social gatherings and so many other things where we constantly have to send our energy. Sometimes it can be hard to remember to take care of our mental health in there as well. Prioritizing this is so very important though. It is what helps us to be able to not just survive but also thrive.

**Currently not accepting new clients** Sometimes couples feel as if they are stuck. Stuck in conflict, stuck in trust and communication issues, or stuck in stagnation. In my work with couples, I act as a neutral third party, striving to create a safe place in which we can work together to uncover these patterns of "stuck-ness" while also establishing a secure and loving bond between partners. I also enjoy working with women, tweens and up, seeking to make peace with food and body. I am honored to walk beside women through transitions and hardships, which often co-occur with food and body struggles.

We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and mindful; everything matters.

As a trauma therapist, I believe that personal growth and transformation is vital to the human experience, and that sometimes we need support through this process. Therapy is embarking on a journey, and you are the hero of your story. In meeting with you where you are at in your journey, I will help you to develop your own set of skills to help you through your daily experiences. I also encourage approaching challenges with vulnerability and self-compassion and will assist in practicing these areas in our sessions. Even though painful experiences are inevitable, I believe that suffering does not have to hold us back from living.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides telehealth services to California, Washington State, and PSYPACT state residents. While I've spent much of my specialist practice at the intersection of substance use, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders in adults (18+), my generalist training has also prepared me to support those experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, boundary issues, deep wisdom experiences of grief and relational transitions, and overworking/burnout related to high-pressure or exploitative work environments. I regularly engage in culturally responsive training to support members of marginalized groups.

Feelings of despair, anxiety, rage, confusion, hopelessness, and depression are normal responses to a broken world. This brokenness manifests as oppression, inequality, trauma, destruction, and violence. Sometimes it can seem impossible to feel whole given the state of things. And yet, it is my deeply held belief that we can heal both individually and collectively, to find ourselves whole again, belonging.

In my work with clients, I use a combination of warmth, curiosity, directness, and respectful humor. I adamantly believe in the individual's right to self-determination, and I take a collaborative approach to therapy - I see you as the only person who can truly know what is important to you and what works in your life, and I see myself as someone who can help you understand what is contributing to your challenges, clarify your thoughts and feelings, help you learn strategies for thinking and behaving differently, and support you as you move toward the life you want.

Hello, I'm glad you found me. I like to begin sessions with this question: Where are you in time and space? Wherever you are moment-to-moment, I aim to follow with compassion and curiosity. Using wonder and inquiry, tell me the details of your experience so we can weave the parts of you together. No matter what you’re going through, whether it be apprehension about major life decisions; mourning the loss of significant relationships; or experiencing stagnation throughout your daily life, there is hope. Let’s explore together to come back into affinity and appreciation of you.

Accepting New Clients! - I am a counselor for women who hold themselves to high standards, who say “I’m sorry” more than they would like to, and for those who find it is somehow so much easier to care for others than to care for themselves. I am a counselor for women who are ready for change. Women who wonder why things have always been like this, and want to feel less anxious, more safe, and more authentically themselves. I am a counselor for women who want to learn to trust their own thoughts and feelings, and for those who want to truly believe that they are not a burden for being as they are and needing what they do.

** Please Note: I am currently NOT accepting new clients** Are you frustrated and discouraged with the quality of your relationships with others? Do you wish that there were a manual or rule book that came with the people you love? Relationships are the most cherished and yet confounding things that we as humans long to have, and we get very little guidance about how to make and maintain them. Whether you are in a relationship with a friend, lover, spouse, or child, I can help you learn ways to find fulfillment, stability, and joy.

My practice specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and mood disorders. I provide individual treatment for adults and late adolescents. My goal is to provide individualized, compassionate, effective, evidence-based treatment for individuals with anxiety and mood disorders. My approach has its grounding in CBT but when appropriate I also use mindfulness techniques, components of Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy to enhance the treatment and support the client's movement toward accomplishing treatment goals.

I work with men on the internal issues that are showing up in their lives. When relationships fray, affairs or divorce happens, layoffs, depression, stress, anger or numbness rear their ugly heads - it can be time to stop and figure out what needs to be addressed. As a man - a father, a son, a husband, a brother, a friend myself - I am acutely aware of the internal worlds of men, and the external rules that often keep us from talking about what is going on inside.

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, 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.
