And I find both men and
women
are comfortable with me and able to make the progress that they want to make.
Do you feel alone? Or shame more than serenity and self-esteem? This can be due to being depressed, loss of someone dear to you, experiencing trauma, an accident, or recovering from cancer. Perhaps your hope and purpose in life is gone or in question. Or your sense of meaning in life uncertain. I will walk along with you as you walk a path to healing and hope as you process this and grow to feel more confident, less depressed or anxious, and life makes sense again. Life can present many difficulties. Together we can find the answer for you.

I also specialize in working with
women
going through challenges that are impacting the overall quality of their life.
Hello! I specialize in working with teenage girls that are going through the challenges this time of life brings... From academic, peer, relationship and family issues, to dealing with stress in healthy ways. Did you know one study found that 70% of teenage girls feel not good enough in some way? Developing a positive sense of self-worth during the teenage years is essential because it influences decisions for years to come. This is why I focus on empowering teenage girls with essential coping skills that strengthens their self-worth, self-confidence, and ability to navigate through difficult situations.

Over 10 years experience working mostly with
women
, children and adolescents.
The focus of my practice is to create a safe and accepting space for individuals and families to work through life's challenges and strengthen resiliency skills. We may not have control over all of our circumstances but we each have the capacity to develop healthy skills to cope with adversity. I believe healthy attachments are a critical part of healing, particularly with children and adolescents. Therefore, I take a family systems approach when working with youth. I'm trained and experienced in working with
female
survivors of intimate partner violence and use trauma-focused approaches in their journey to healing.

I believe that people have the innate capacity for change. In life we are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My role is to collaborate with you to explore your past and reconnect you to your authentic self. People are natural storytellers. In our work together we will identify which parts of your story add value to your life and which can be altered to improve the way you understand yourself and the circumstances in your life.

Do you feel like you have to "have it all together” but in reality, life feels more like a mess? Are you struggling to juggle all that you have to do at home, school, or work? I get it - it's exhausting trying to manage it all when you are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, poor sleep & little to no self-care. You are tired of being tired - tired of being pulled in all directions, tired of feeling overwhelmed, tired of feeling disconnected from yourself & others, and most of all, tired of forcing yourself to deal with it all alone. It's time to focus & take care of yourself - so that you can be the best version of you.

I love working with
women
who are perfectionists, who are working on eating disorder recovery or trying to approach trauma in a brave way.
Sometimes even the smartest and most capable
women
I know feel stuck. It could be moving beyond an issue in a relationship, anxiety, perfectionism or it could be an eating disorder or traumatic memory. You may feel like you are underperforming in life and relationships or just completely overwhelmed with everything going on. When we do not have the social support we need or just not sure how to use our social support, it can be helpful to talk to a professional and get objective feedback. To be asked thought provoking questions. To get ideas with how to move forward and start thriving in life!

What is keeping you from living the life you want? Therapy can be a powerful tool to identify goals and remove obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing more fulfilling relationships with yourself, your career, and other people. If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, abusing substances, or having relationship difficulty, the process of therapy can be a useful way to discover how to create change. By exploring current and historical patterns, a greater awareness and understanding can emerge, allowing for more choice.

end people-pleasing, perfectionism, and guilt. Perhaps you say Yes, when you really mean No. Maybe the anxiety of what “they” think overwhelms you. You're probably more comfortable figuring everything out on your own, rather than counting on others to help. And my guess is you're exhausted from living this way. But you're not sure what needs to change, or where to even begin. I've been where you are. I used to struggle with all of this.

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, 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.
