I have been in private practice for the last 15 years. I work with individuals. Most of my clients are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or all three. Typically they are making their way through a major upheaval in their lives, such as divorce, tragic loss, job stress, severe communication problems, and strained family relationships. They're often depressed, angry, confused, or anxious. My work with couples and families is for the most part communication therapy. I never stop being amazed when clients explain to me that for the first time they're feeling heard, really heard, by their partners, children, or parents.

I am here to help those that are looking to explore new ways of working with others or coming into their own and setting boundaries with others. Part of growing is learning how to adapt to the world around us, but it is also about growing in truly loving ourselves and building the world within us. Keeping secrets, feeling like you don't have a voice, and feeling without the power to stand up against those that are mistreating oneself come from feeling like you are not valued or because we were taught growing up to stay silent.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in emotionally painful and destructive patterns in life. Life can be lonely and difficult and uncertain. I strive to help you ease your emotional burden and find a lightness in life. Stress has a way of making us forget that we need each other, and that it can be safe and comforting to connect. So, as a therapist, I focus on helping you re-connect with yourself and the people and things you love. I’ll help you stand up tall in your truth even when it’s “messy.”

All the tools that you need to heal are already within you. My main approaches are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Mindfulness. Mindfulness invites relaxation into the body while EMDR allows you to process the past without feeling triggered. Many of our present problems such as low self esteem, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression have deep roots within our past. EMDR works to address the problem from its root by challenging the negative messages that we have received from childhood and replacing them with new positive truths. These truths are then integrated into how we view ourselves and the world.

Many children and adolescents have a challenging time as they develop their identities/personalities. These youths are facing obstacles that are unique to their generation, and so they may be struggling with finding and using their voices, understanding their thoughts and feelings, and feeling confident as they maneuver from one day to the next. Many may struggle with internal and external triggers that they do not know how to tackle. But how can they tackle something that they have not learned?

Therapy not working? Work smarter, not harder. Let's clear the path to your liberation by more clearly understanding what you need and how to get there. Skills-based therapies often don't work, feel condescending, and can make you feel like a failure. Classic talk therapy can feel pointless and irritating (why am I the only one talking? isn't the therapist going to contribute?) I'm the clinical director at Psych Lab, a practice based on using high-quality assessment and depth-oriented psychotherapy to help you achieve total health. Not just symptom relief - real mental health and well-being. Joy. Happiness. Fulfillment.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
