Words like “growth” and “development” align with my underlying beliefs about what is beneficial to clients, rather than words like “change” and “improvement.” While there is nothing wrong with wanting to change or even to “fix” ourselves, it is uncommon that our lives shift by setting those kinds of intentions. For most of us there are thoughts, emotions, and memories that block us from moving forward in our lives. This feeling of being blocked can mean that an unrecognized part of us needs to be attuned to and potentially healed.

I use a variety of approaches ranging from cognitive reframing, exploration of defense mechanisms and automatic thoughts, training in mindfulness, bodily awareness, and examination of feelings, among others. I am interested in the ways in which we each determine our realities, what our minds say to us, and the insight that can be gained from examining those.

My clients are high-achieving individuals who seek support when stress, anxiety, or depression become heightened during major life or career transitions. These challenges may appear as perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or relationship difficulties, among others. I provide a supportive and collaborative space where clients take the lead in their growth, and together, we work toward achieving their personal and professional goals.

I specialize in working with couples who feel stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or broken trust. Whether you are navigating the transition to parenthood, managing long-standing resentment, or simply feel like you’re 'roommates' rather than partners, I provide a structured space to rebuild your bond. By understanding these 'fight or flee' triggers, we can clear away shame and develop real-time tools to keep each other safe and secure. Moving past the reactivity of fighting or withdrawing can provide the clarity needed to understand your individual and relationship needs.

My approach to therapy is authentic, warm, and honest. I use a collaborative and non-judgmental approach with my clients to support them in discovering their goals for therapy, finding new perspectives, and disrupting harmful patterns that may be showing up. I draw from a number of evidence-based treatment styles and tailor my approach to each individual but am inherently person-centered and strengths-based.

My goal is to create a space where all parts of you are welcome. You set the pace, and together we explore what healing looks like for you.

It's never easy to find a therapist and if you were like me and grew up in a family that discouraged therapy or talking about mental health in general, it can be especially intimidating to even look for a therapist. By looking into therapy, you have taken an important step towards living the life that you want. I find that the counseling relationship is most effective when it is highly collaborative and specific to the person. I will work with you to find areas of struggle in your life, identify patterns that have been present in your past, and work towards the goals you have for yourself present day.

Currently accepting clients M-F 9-4. I work with clients with wild, confusing, unchecked emotions and help them make sense and understanding. Perhaps you want to work on issues like grief and loss, your trauma history, tense relationships past or present or maybe you need more support going through transitions of becoming a parent, gender identity, relationship dynamics or becoming a person you want to be in this world. We will work together using traditional talk therapy, creative exercises, body and somatic understanding, and movement to give you understanding of the story of your life.

Do you feel anxious, depressed and struggle in relationships with others and with yourself? Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to share these struggles with someone who comes to know you well. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship involving listening and encouraging expression of your thoughts and feelings, sharing possible links from the past and present which can lead to insight and change in troubling areas. I have been in practice for 10 years and bring my training, life experiences and compassion to this work.

Anxiety and trauma shrink a person's world by making authenticity, connection, and joy feel unsafe. Some of my prospective clients report that joy feels impossible, or even that they are undeserving of belonging and care because they are haunted by a deep sense of unworthiness. My goal is to help you reconnect with your expansiveness, authenticity, and belonging and bring your Self to the center of your own life. My action-oriented and direct, relational style is especially effective for individuals who tend to 'over-talk,' use words to obscure their deeper feelings, or feel their emotions are unsafe to share with others.

I see healing as the process of understanding the patterns that influence our perception of, and how we act within, the world that surrounds us. For many, these patterns might have been protective, at one point in time, though might not be serving our needs in the present. Therapy offers a space to feel seen, heard, and accepted. I believe that the individual is the expert on their life, and I trust their experience. I seek to follow the client while noticing my own curiosity that I have cultivated through schooling and experience working in the field of psychology.

Being human was already challenging; the last few years have made it harder. Our old ways of coping may no longer work for us as we face old patterns and navigate new challenges. We are ready for less stress and more happiness, but aren't sure how to get there. I will support you to identify, explore, and remove obstacles to your wellbeing, unleashing your innate capacity for healing, resilience, and joy. I will not only guide you to awareness of yourself and others through a safe, supportive therapeutic alliance, but also offer you practical mindfulness tools, where appropriate to your understanding both in and out of session.

I help people develop resources to work more mindfully with life's constant changes. Aging, illness, death, identity transitions, relationships – all bring us face to face with fear, anxiety, and insecurity. The courage and wisdom to live through change and loss become possible with a clear, steady commitment to loving oneself and others. I work with my clients to become curious, have a sense of humor, notice grace, cultivate friendships, and embody kindness toward oneself and others.

I work with people from diverse backgrounds with a variety of concerns. Are you experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, excessive fear, and/or problems related to your substance use? I will help you improve your health and wellbeing. I know it can be difficult to share about personal experiences like these with a new person, so it's important for me to build a trusting relationship with you to work on your concerns. I will help you establish new patterns in your life to free you up from unhelpful habits and pursue what you care about most.

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.
