I have worked extensively with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I tend to incorporate more traditional forms of psychotherapy with meditation, body movement, breathwork, and exercise. I am also well-versed on the emerging field of psychedelic and/or plant-based medicine. My primary focus is to help my client's grow through their trauma/grief and to become more resilient and confident in their ability to manage, work through, and resolve the emotions, symptoms, and memories that get in the way of thriving in the present moment.

You're known as the person who appears to have everything under control, yet deep inside, you're grappling with a constant sense of overwhelm. You consistently surpass expectations, all the while battling the nagging doubt of your own worthiness. Behind a smile and the words "I'm fine," you conceal the true turmoil within, never wanting to burden others with your inner struggles. You have a knack for self-blame that rivals the best, forever ruminating on how you could have been better. Throughout the day, you might find yourself letting out frequent sighs, and your body remains in a constantly tense state.

Ideal clients: Those who are on a path of self-work and personal growth, who are pursuing intimacy, in touch with their need for connection, wish to learn how to deepen their relationships with their closest people, or are looking to repair or heal broken and discordant relationships. I am a facilitator of the conversations that need to be had - "pink elephant" conversations to dissolve the wedge of disconnection from the backlog of unexpressed feelings and unresolved issues that had long since been avoided and talk them through. Working with me is like being in a relationship and communication skill building boot camp.

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.
