My therapeutic approach is person-centered, integrative, and empowerment-oriented. I am dedicated to providing affirming care to those who come from historically oppressed communities and have specialized experience working with individuals across the spectrums of sexuality and gender identity. Whether you are questioning your identity, transitioning and/or coming out, or navigating through systems that aim to further marginalize your community, you deserve compassion and support.

If you are an adult who's life may be affected by the symptoms of ADHD, are newly diagnosed or who would like diagnostic clarification, I would like to offer you the opportunity to enhance the chance of achieving success in your home, work and personal life through ADHD therapy. Whether you take medication to treat ADHD or not, non-medication therapy can increase your chances of success in the areas of your life most affected by ADHD that may not be addressed by medication alone. I will assess executive function (EF) skills and work with your strengths in this area to help you overcome your executive function challenges.

Greetings! The main focus of my work is working with individuals and families to help support and navigate through many areas of life. My client’s typical age range is from teenaged years up to young adut though I’ve worked with clients of all ages including clients as young as 5 up until late adulthood. Issues that could be addressed include depression, indecision, anxiety, fear of change, need of direction, and how to maintain/increase happiness. While there is no one specific goal, goals such as finding confidence in-self, self-regulation, learning healthy expression, and happiness are common.

Throughout the last few years of my work experience I have come to learn that I enjoy supervising other clinicians, as well as working with clients who are also therapists. This work is beautiful and hard, and therapists need space to identify their own emotional needs and get support. As therapists we have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. As healers, our own health is our biggest asset. I love guiding therapists in the process of healing their own stuff so that they can show up more effectively with their clients.

I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment to promote stability and growth for my clients.

Life is like a river, rapid and perplexed as it streams us into a direction. There may be times where we choose which way the river will bend, and other times where we become subject to its flow. In this chaos, finding our way home to ourselves becomes the journey. If you are reading this today, that tells me there is something in your life worth recognizing, acknowledging, expanding, or even evolving. In my experience, I have helped individuals recognize the root of their challenges, embrace empowerment, and redefine their journey. Patterns that intertwine us dissipate as we find our way home to ourselves.

I genuinely believe contacting a therapist and pursuing therapy is an act of bravery and courage. I never lose sight of that. While some issues can be addressed with brief, solutions-focused therapies, other concerns and struggles may be rooted deeper and require different therapeutic approaches. I use elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and psychodynamic therapy to guide treatment approaches. Another thing I never lose sight of is that fact that each person is unique. The issues and concerns that bring a person to therapy have to be approached with this idea of uniqueness in mind.

My clients frequently say they feel stuck. Many say they can't trust themselves. A lot in their life is going well; they are doing & trying everything they "should," yet none of it is really working to help them to feel relaxed, happy, less angry, less powerless or less stressed. As an experienced, Licensed Professional Counselor, I compassionately support my Adult clients by looking at day-to-day choices, thought patterns, strengths and weaknesses while also identifying new coping tools.

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.
