Regardless of what you, your children, or your family are facing, you are worthy, and there is hope. I wholeheartedly believe therapy is a place for exploration, opportunity and growth. Throughout my time as a therapist I have helped children, adolescents,
adults
and their families work through different life stressors such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I do not approach therapy as a "one size fits all" treatment, as your goals are unique to you. My goal is to create a relationship and space where you feel comfortable and safe.

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs,
adults
and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process.

Waitlist for in person session. Working through difficult times makes us, and our relationships, stronger. Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

I have several years' experience working with adolescents and
adults
treating depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
Whether you are dealing with significant life stressors or looking to improve the quality of your interpersonal relationships, you are likely searching for balance, stability, and ultimately, happiness. Therapy is an intricate process of growth and self-discovery; it demands a level of self-introspection and willingness to discover the deeper reaches of yourself. You do not have to remain in a state of depression, anger, or anxiety. You will be provided with a non-judgmental and objective milieu to work toward reduction of unpleasant feelings, debilitating symptoms, interpersonal distress, and more.

Four years ago I began working with professional athletes and traumatic brain injuries. This opened a huge door for me to understanding that there are many un-diagnosed brain injuries in the US resulting not just from professional sports, but car accidents, bicycle accidents, falls, and a wide assortment of ways in which children, adolescents, and
adults
receive a blow to the head. Our brains are much more fragile than previously understood. Be aware: chronic pain, chronic fatigue, constant headaches, brain fog, dizziness, loss of balance, poor memory, sensitivity to light/sound, poor sleep patterns, depression/anxiety.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in treating anxiety in
adults
and teens, with a secondary focus on helping couples especially those struggling to recover from infidelity.
You long to wake up in the morning less anxious, maybe even excited about your life. Or you're feeling stressed-out, stuck or have conflict in your closest relationships. Maybe pain from infidelity consumes you but you want to try to fix what seems broken. I feel confident (based on many years of experience) that I can help you untangle these knots and weave something new and beautiful from your life. If you've tried therapy before but felt something was missing (maybe too much listening and not enough direction and interventions), let's do it differently this time so you have the knowledge & skills to create your best life.

I specialize in counseling through the devastating effects of traumatic loss and deep grief, as well as intensive work with teens,
adults
, and couples with issues surrounding abuse, self esteem, depression, anxiety, and codependency.
Often, we struggle with comprehending the nameless emotions that fight to surface in the every day. I will hold a safe and non-judgmental space for you where we can better understand the nature of your confusion and suffering. My approach is gentle but straight-forward, with the collaborative nature of the therapeutic process at the forefront of our sessions. I feel that sometimes our actions, though they may begin as protective coping skills, become destructive over time. I wish to help you reshape those impulses into healthier coping mechanisms that enhance your relationship to the world and yourself.

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.
