Sometimes, that includes relationship/family counseling.

I believe in individualizing treatment to help each family member/partner feel heard and loved.

Waitlist for new clients
Hi. I’m so glad you’re here.
Perhaps you’ve been holding things together on the outside, but on the inside you feel overwhelmed. You might feel baffled by a deep sadness, or notice your mind often overthinks. Certain things in your life may trigger you, and you don’t fully understand why they feel so big. And if you’re like many of my clients, your relationship with food and your body feels—let’s just say—complicated.
Maybe you struggle to build meaningful connections. Maybe you feel needy—and ashamed for feeling that way. You long to feel more steady, more at ease in your body and in your relationships.

I offer sessions in person and online for your comfort and convenience!
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Maybe you are thoughtful, self-aware, and motivated for change, yet still find yourself overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of self-doubt, or feeling like you're “too much.” I have experience helping clients walk through every season of life; many of whom are neurodivergent, navigating chronic illness, processing past trauma, moving through life transitions, or struggling in their relationships. In the midst of all this, they often feel like they have to hold everything together all on their own.

Strange as it may sound, my ideal client is someone who has been suffering in a profound way and, despite numerous past interactions with mental health providers, has yet to fully make sense of themself, let alone remove the obstacles to change and growth that have them stuck. Regardless of what diagnosis a person has been given before, my interest is in what is behind it. How and why did they develop the particular maladaptive strategies behind the symptoms comprising what we call a "psychological disorder?" What purpose do they serve, despite the suffering they engender? This is the need to know stuff of real change...

You may have been sitting in your car, gripping your steering wheel as your heart pounded in your chest, wondering if you could ever get help. For years, you may have carried your own trauma or issues with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, impulsive actions, or emotions that feel impossible to control in silence - feeling their overwhelming weight that seems as though it can never be left behind. There may have been a time when you felt more like yourself, and you want that back. Or there may be no sense of who this self is, and you would like to understand who you have the potential of being.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
