My favorite saying is "practice resurrection", which comes from the end of a Wendell Berry poem. There is a spiritual component to it, but fundamentally it's about being open to the possibility of new life and then choosing to move toward it. So I love to meet with people who have decided that they're ready to address the pain they've been carrying, the questions they've been pushing to the background, or the patterns that are no longer working for them, in order to pursue new life. And I believe the therapeutic process can provide insights and tools to help.

High conflict. Infidelity. Infertility. Difficulty communicating feelings and emotions. Conflict about the same things over and over again. Not feeling validated. Trust is broken and resentment has built up. Years have gone by, and many life adjustments feel like they are pulling you apart. You feel desperate and alone. You want to experience that love and connection that you felt years ago. Where do you start? HOW do you start? It feels like you're losing hope of a fulfilling future in your relationship. I see you. Come sit with me, and let's explore it. Zero judgment and open arms here.

I provide a safe environment of empathy and compassion; a space of gentle strength wherein clients can build their own container in which change becomes possible. From this non-judgmental place, clients begin addressing their various mental health concerns holistically and whole-heartedly. I work with survivors of trauma, those in the midst of difficult life transitions (such as shifting spiritual identities or relationship changes), and those experiencing anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and low life satisfaction. In our work, clients develop mindful self-awareness, acceptance, self-compassion and accoutability.

LPC Intern, LAC
I work with teens and adults to help them through struggles with phases of life, dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, medical issues affecting mental health, general stress, the “I feel like something is wrong with me but I don’t know what it is” struggle, and all the other common things that affect us. I work with families, couples, and individuals who need someone to help balance everything, learn coping and communication skills, and create healthy boundaries. We will process any trauma that may be related and causing additional stress in your life along the way. I love working together with others to help them answers.

I know first hand how hard it can be to reach out for help, when the world tells us the goal is to "have it all together." Therapy can be uncomfortable and difficult, but that is how change happens. I like to make the process of change less challenging for people by making therapy about making a connection with someone, and providing a safe, supportive environment. Healing is a chance to look at the story we are living in and rewrite the parts that don't fit anymore. Our lives are busy and chaotic and somewhere in all of that, we need to find time to build better versions of ourselves and healthy relationships with others.

I am a very down to earth individual and believe that when we change our thinking we can change our behaviors. When we change our behaviors, we can change our lives for the better. I use my extensive training and education in various counseling modalities to help those seeking a better life experience. As a therapist, I strive to create positive change in others’ lives, but first and foremost, aiding in the realization that such a change is in fact, possible. I am deeply invested in the growth and happiness of those that I am privileged to serve.

Much of my experience has been with people with autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and mental health concerns to achieve career goals. My current role allows me to help children, youth, adults of all ages to deal with any of the many issues that can make life confusing, complicated, or difficult. It is a profound process to sort through and make sense of complex issues, uncover answers and insights, and find personal strength – a process I feel honored to walk through together with my clients.

Wellness comes from balance in all the areas of our lives: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Often things come up that tip the scales beyond what we can handle on our own. In counseling we work together to help you find that balance again, develop skills where needed, and move you into a healthier place. With a strong background in biology the approach to counseling is very solution focused and takes into account the natural tendencies and responses that may work against wellbeing. I work with couples and individuals looking at issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD.

Counseling can be a powerful way to improve self-esteem, understand family dynamics, strengthen relationships, and build an encouraging support system. I come with a wide range of experience, working with children in residential treatment as young as 11 y.o., through outpatient treatment to age 70. Often times, counseling is the first place someone learns to identify and untangle the traumas of their life to become the best version of themselves in the present. My focus is to understand the unique goals of each person and help them achieve those goals with compassion and patience.

Everyone should be accepted and loved for being their true self and living life authentically. We never know when it’s our last day, so why should we spend more of our time in situations that we don’t prefer. I spent over 40 years in the Midwest before moving to sunny Arizona and pursuing my dream job as a therapist. I am a mature individual with a broad array of life experiences. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are new to therapy and may have never spoken about their problems. My style is open, authentic, empathetic and direct. I will be your biggest cheerleader as you grow and heal from your trauma.

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.
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.
