A strong, secure relationship can bring enormous joy to your life, and a struggling relationship can bring tremendous pain, fear, and despair. If your current relationship is in trouble because of conflict, lack of connection, or problems you can't fix on your own, I can help. I work deeply with couples so that they understand their own attachment styles and emotional patterns and those of their partner. Couples gain confidence in their connection so that they can leave behind patterns of emotional reactivity and withdrawal/shutdown, and share their needs, fears and feelings with confidence.

If you're feeling a readiness for change in your life, but not sure how; this is a great place to start. Maybe thoughts swirl around constantly creating feelings of being trapped in overwhelm, anxiety, panic or depression. It may be confusing to identify your needs, let alone communicate them. There may be some temporary life transitions at play that are leaving you feeling alone or lost. Maybe your relationships are unfulfilling and you're not sure why. All of these are part of the human experience and do not mean you need to be fixed. We work in collaboration to access parts of yourself so we can better understand your needs.

If you’ve been misunderstood by the medical system, your doctor, friends, and family, and you just want to understand what’s happening to you. Illness and complex trauma show up in many forms; brain fog, dissociation, chronic fatigue, unexplained aches and pains, memory issues and more. Pain is suffering when it’s purposeless. So, whatever you are facing we can find meaning and purpose in your life and relationships, you don’t have to be alone in the journey to wellbeing. You deserve someone who will share those pains and walk with you in your journey to recovering wellness and living a life of health & purpose.

I am so glad you are here. It is incredibly brave to take this step toward connecting with others in a way that will inevitably ask a lot of you. Therapy requires you to be raw and vulnerable. I believe in creating a space that allows for the comfortable and uncomfortable parts of processing, leading to personal and mutual growth. In my work with couples, relationships, and individuals, I lean on an attachment and emotion-focused theory to guide our work together.

Unique to my practice is my ability to mirror your innate wisdom. With this relational focus, whether you are coming in for individual or couples therapy, you'll begin to work through issues, and increase your confidence while doing so. I hold a safe space that is conducive to exploring those scary and sometimes dark places that we fear, like broken heartedness, and come out the other side with tenderness, wisdom, & contentment.

I graduated from Naropa University in May 2015 with my Master's degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy. I work with children, teens, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and self-esteem. I feel that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership, where together we will decide the pace, structure, and forms of expression that best suit the client's needs. I am primarily an art therapist who loves to help clients express themselves and their emotions in a healthy and safe way using art materials.

In the past twenty seven years of practice, I've come to deeply understand that we become who we are from two sources: our relationships and experiences. The beliefs we hold about our limitations, potential, and life's possibilities spring from our interpretations (and misinterpretations) of life events and from the people surrounding them. I help clients unpack their past and present experiences so they may understand how these are woven together; to heal self-judgements and negative beliefs that come from their past; and create compassionate, loving, and empowered relationship with themselves, and others.

Besides seeing individual clients, one of my specialty areas is couples therapy. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist, a way of working with couples which was developed by John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman after extensive longitudinal research with thousands of couples. I have completed an extra Gottman training on treating affairs and trauma, and work with couples going through a variety of challenges. It can be very powerful to have a neutral third party in the room, helping each of you understand yourselves and your partner better.

True transformational healing happens at the level of the soul. Traditional counseling focuses on fixing faulty thinking. Rather, let's uncover the negative unconscious beliefs about yourself that motivate this thinking. It is the quality of the relationship that you have with yourself that will ultimately determine how quickly you can manifest what you love.

With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for people to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, intimacy, transformation, resiliency, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of life’s difficulties, access their innate wisdom, and gain skills to thrive and emerge into their full self. From European white ancestry and queer lineages, I am an artist and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

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.
