Do your negative thoughts dominate you and send you into a funk? Do you find yourself fearful of making decisions, unable at times to get out of bed in the mornings, overwhelmed, too often anxious and stressed? Do you wish you could find more joy and feel more alive and have more ease in your life? As a potential client you need to know that you are not alone, that you are not broken, nor are you a problem that needs fixing. You are not wrong, bad or undeserving.

I specialize in women's issues, trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, aging, and life transitions of all stripes. I believe that each of us has the capacity to live in more centered, nurtured, and meaningful ways, and that we have a right to self-actualization. We seek therapy when we are on the verge of change: something's not working, but oftentimes we lack clarity about what comes next. I offer directness, humor, insight, and alliance as we explore what it is you truly want out of life.

I specialize in Neurodiversity and Dark-Triad Personality Traits, which means I primarily cater to people: (1) with innately idiosyncratic brains (Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing Issues, etc); (2) who have been subjected to narcissistic abuse; (3) that are self-aware narcissists or psychopaths who want to be better adjusted. These two populations appear to be surprisingly intertwined socially, unwittingly seeking one another, and having the other group in their lives. Unusual and/or extreme brains have such a rhythm to their interpersonal relationships, which is frequently colorful, but not without its burdens.

Finding an authentic way to be ourselves in an incongruent time isn’t easy. Yet I believe that we are all entitled to do just that–to be ourselves in all our messy, creative, unfinished, work-in-progress glory. Creativity, movement, mindfulness, and nature, are all things we may draw on in our work together. I am passionate about working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and view all of my work through an intersectional lens. I am also passionate about working with elders, neurodiverse folks, and those grieving a loss or facing a scary health diagnosis. If you’re ready to get started, I’m ready to meet you along the way.

I can help you with a wide variety of problems, including anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship issues and stress management. As an EMDR therapist, I treat trauma of all kinds, ranging from single incidents to more complex histories, as well as fears and phobias. A major focus of my practice is in helping you to build the skills essential to reducing anxiety and stress. While entering therapy can feel daunting, it also represents the beginning of a journey of self-discovery and growth that offers tremendous rewards.

Adverse childhood experiences can be stored in our bodies and in our unconscious/subconscious minds, driving our behaviors and affecting our natural impulses that allow us to thrive. My clients seek freedom from out-dated mental and bodily reactions derived from these past experiences and/or traumatic events. They want their choice restored when making decisions, for cultivating and sustaining relationships, and in creating a meaningful life.

Perinatal and postpartum mental health (including pre-conception, fertility, pregnancy, loss, birth, traumatic birth and the transition into parenthood) are my particular passions. It takes courage to acknowledge that our old ways of doing things are no longer serving us, this particularly peaks in the childbearing years (for a variety of reasons). Sometimes we feel that change is needed but we don't know where to start. I work from a foundational belief that ALL of us are capable of taking the steps necessary to actualize our full potential - the brilliance of who we truly are - and that sometimes old patterns get in the way.

Sometimes in life, our ability to cope is no longer sufficient to get us through challenges or even day-to-day. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and at times, out of control. We might notice ourselves experiencing struggles with self-care, sleep, relationships, self-esteem, health, and sometimes, turning to alcohol or drugs to feel better. Therapy can help us to regain control in our lives, address past wounds, develop healthier coping skills, build resilience and heal our bodies and minds.

Breaking through the barriers. What keeps you from true happiness and living the life you truly love? Perhaps you are in an unfulfilling intimate relationship that is not meeting your needs, or you desire a long-term meaningful partnership but keep finding that area to be a struggle. Are friendships and community challenging? Is your relationship with your family or particular family members in conflict? Often it is a need to learn to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety and fears, negative thinking or challenging relationships that keep you from experiencing a life of joy and happiness.

In working with you, my goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences of the past may be keeping you “stuck” in unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

It takes courage to ask for help. You may be seeking help for anxiety or depression. You may be experiencing conflicts in your relationships or stress from your job. Perhaps you feel stuck, disconnected, that something is missing in your life, or you're having difficulty with a transition of some kind. Psychotherapy is both a challenging and rewarding process. With a collaborative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions, I work with you to help you move towards a stronger, healthier sense of self and face challenges in a new, more thoughtful way.

We all get stuck or feel lost sometimes. It's an inevitable part of being human. But for members of the Military, First Responders, and their families, this can be especially difficult. I don't feel that people are "broken," and I don't feel that people need to be "fixed." Sometimes, we may feel that way, but that doesn't make it true. If you are an Active Military service member, a Veteran, an Emergency Responder, or a family member or caregiver in these communities, then I am here to help, guide, counsel, and to listen without judgment.

My approach to counseling is strength-based, humanistic, relational, and mind/body-centered. I focus on working with the nervous system as a way to work towards emotional regulation. I work from a somatic approach with both individuals and couples. For couples I use PACT (a psycho-neurobiological approach to couples counseling).

Couples Counseling: Are you longing to reconnect with your partner and get back the closeness you once had? Is it hard to talk about issues without it turning into a conflict? Has your relationship been affected by some form of infidelity and now the two of you are struggling to repair your relationship? You may have tried traditional couples counseling and are looking for a more effective approach? I use Imago Relationship Therapy as the way I work with couples because I have found it to be the most effective form of couples therapy that I have come across in my 20 years as a couples counselor.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 United States, 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.
