Too busy to take mental stock of what’s really going on? Over functioning tends to be culturally valued, but at what cost? Emotional bandwidth maxed out? Leaving you not as present as you’d like to be for yourself, your family, and your friends? Past experiences intruding on your here-and-now? Mental, emotional, and physical energies trying to work through trauma, seemingly stuck on playback loop? Feeling stuck in a rut? Planful problem solving, building motivation for change and action- slow and steady.

ONLINE SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE. I help adults recover from childhood and adult trauma with the use of body centered therapies. Unresolved trauma often negatively affects our relationships, careers, and physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual health. People who have experienced trauma are often doing the very best they know how to deal with the emotional and physiological response to what has happened to them. People often don't realize the struggles they are having in their lives can be linked to things that have happened in the past. They try to change their behavior with little to no success, or easily fall back into old habits.

I have always been interested in how wellness can be incorporated into all aspects of life, including social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual, and physical well-being. Through my studies in college, I discovered mindfulness meditation, and my life has since been changed for the better. I have found that practicing mindfulness (non-judgmental awareness of the present moment) has also changed my client's life and increased their ability to live in the moment. My love for mindfulness translated into an interest in the physiology of anxiety and trauma and how it affects the nervous system.

The decision to seek out therapy is not always an easy one. However, finding a therapist that provides support, encouragement and techniques that can improve how you feel and function in life is worth the effort. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, work, or are experiencing low self-esteem that may cause you to use poor coping skills, take a moment and imagine yourself feeling hopeful. I am a strong believer in addressing the whole person (body, mind, soul).

Life changing events and/or everyday stressors, can impact emotional well being. To ask for help during these times takes a courageous person. I believe the purpose of counseling is to assist you in honoring and expressing ALL of your feelings especially when events don't occur in your life as planned. I look forward to talking with you about how you are currently feeling as well as how you would like to feel. I counsel individuals and couples. I am available for evening appointments only.

Hi, how are you...really? this question is often asked and not answered openly, how do you respond? Does anyone ask you sincerely? Especially since the pandemic (and before) this topic has been a common theme I hear in talking to people, people like you. My goal is to ask meaningful questions, listen and develop useful techniques with you for more effective coping and communication.

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.
