The hardest part of therapy is making the choice to seek help. If you’re reading this, you’ve already begun the work! When working with me, you or your loved ones can count on receiving loving, respectful, and supportive treatment while exploring the issues you bring to therapy. All thoughts and feelings are safe in this space. In therapy with me, you are in the driver's seat, and I will be your navigator, partner, passenger, or guide - it's entirely up to you. Life can be challenging. My goal is to help you manage the tough times and celebrate the good times in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

I work with many older adults who are challenged by their life's circumstances, whether it be social isolation, financial worries or health problems or other age related concerns. I believe having emotional support during this time, is very important to help us age as best we can. I enjoy working with women of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations as I feel being a women is wonderful but not without some unique challenges. I truly enjoy the energy and power of women and feel honored to be a part of their growing journey. I feel the same about my work with those who have a chronic illness or chronic pain.

Although it may feel risky to reach out, it is partly through this risk that change and healing can begin. I welcome your fears and doubts, both are common companions on the first part of a new journey. If you're struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, low self-worth, feeling afraid or confused by some of your experiences in life, know that you are not alone and there is a way through. We'll work together to help you navigate these challenges, build and maintain a sense of optimism. I invite you to take the first courageous step toward healing.

We all have times where we could use some extra support. I offer a warm, engaged presence to help foster healing and growth. I believe we all have the capacity to heal but that we sometimes need a partner or guide to help us look deeply at the parts of our lives that need attention. I feel honored to be able to provide compassionate psychotherapy to individuals wanting to gain insight into old patterns, heal from past trauma and make needed changes in their lives.

The world is a wild and wondrous place to exist. There is so much to be curious about as we follow our respective paths. However, sometimes the path can become obscured causing us to feel lost, confused, even scared or defeated. Amidst the constant buzz of living, we need a place of stillness, of safety, to see ourselves clearly again. I am here to provide you a safe, judgement-free holding space to explore your own path and rediscover yourself in it. In our work together, we will focus on using the strength of human connection as a bridge to our own healing.

While we are still struggling with covid, we are beginning to get back to normal. You are likely thinking about psychotherapy for yourself. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. And your relationships, health or even finances may have been affected. Whether your problems are new, or are deeply rooted, even perhaps in trauma, therapy can help. In therapy you can build on your own wisdom to heal a difficult past and deep wounds. Difficult life experiences can hlep us develop greater insight and strength. I am here to help you create your own goals and work towards a better life.

Working with me will be empowering, energetic, and at times fun. You will grieve losses, heal wounds, celebrate successes and reimagine your future. Together, we will explore childhood relationship programing and work on a reboot of early patterns that are no longer useful. I will help you choose healthier roles and boundaries, while building a life with you in the driver's seat. "For every event in life, there are many different angles. When you look at the same event from a wider perspective, your sense of worry and anxiety reduces, and you have greater joy." - The Dalai Lama

Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.

Stress, anxiety and depression are common human responses to difficult life events. Current research supports that therapy can help individuals better understand and move through these experiences. In my view there is great potential for healing at any stage in life. I acknowledge that a desire for depth and wholeness is universal - as is the need for meaning. I work mostly with adults, seniors, and family members experiencing adjustment to life changes; including work issues, adult children's struggles, retirement, and loss and grief.

I've been doing therapy with kids and families since 1988. Individuals and couples now form a significant part of my practice. I can help you resolve conflict, build more loving relationships and address issues like depression, anxiety, parenting, addiction, sexuality and communication. Having difficult conversations requires skill and empathy which I can help you build. I'll work with you to develop practical solutions to real problems. I believe my role is to be strong and active as a therapist in order to create a safe place. With compassion, awareness and even some humor, growth and healing are possible.

Welcome to the inner work! What happens in a therapy room, of course, has to do with the challenges one has brought, but also in raising a person's awareness about their powerful capacity to heal, navigate, and thrive in this world. I have 28 years of experience as a teacher, compassionate intuit, and psychotherapist which assists me strongly as a guide who can hold space for people from many different cultures, and walks of life, as they step into their truth.

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.
