If you have recognized you feel depressed, anxious, angry, or generally not yourself, I can help! I like to approach each client as an individual while utilizing an integrative approach in an effort to create a non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel safe to work through therapy in an individually tailored way. Everyone carries their own background and experience with them so the flexibility of my approach allows the individual needs and communication style of each client to be addressed. My hope is to get to know you and your individual needs so we can develop an effective plan to address your concerns.

I work with individuals who want to understand themselves better. In our chaotic world, often there isn't enough time to think about ourselves: who we are, what we believe and how we want our life to unfold. I believe change happens when we go back to the past to understand what contributed to forming us into the person we are today. Then we can make changes in the present so the past no longer dictates our actions, and we can move forward with confidence. I have 20 years of experience working with trauma of all kinds, depression and anxiety.

Life can be messy. Things don't always go the way we plan. When that happens, we can feel stuck. Stuck in anger, sadness, and frustration which can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness It is my belief that people have the ability and strength to cope with life's unexpected turns and disappointments. Sometimes, we just need some extra support and encouragement to understand and process our complex feelings and realize the potential and resiliency that lies within.

A person's needs are completely individual and personal. I assist clients to develop their own goals as well as their own perspective. Ideally, a client wants to feel better, live better, be better; I am here to listen and remind clients of their choices as well as process their emotions on the journey! When working with children, I work from a structural approach, meaning that the whole system of the child's life matters to me; through play and parental support, a child can learn and practice healthier ways to live and make choices in their different life domains.

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.
