My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and client centered. My goal is to meet clients where they’re at, work collaboratively, and create a safe space for healing. Therapy is about using human connection to grow, build coping strategies, and ultimately uncover resilience. If you have experienced trauma, a recent loss, struggle with anxiety, or are having relationship issues, I am so glad that you are reaching out for help. Change can happen quickly, especially if you’ve found a therapist that deeply cares and believes in your recovery. You are in the right place!

If you are struggling in life, chances are you have a diagnosis which is termed a psychiatric disorder- but diagnoses only define the negative aspects of who you are! In fact, most "disorders" have a wealth of amazingly positive traits also associated with them. Together, you and I will work to uncover your superpowers- those positive traits that diagnoses don't cover, and which make you amazing. Some of the therapies we incorporate into our practice include art therapy, play therapy, guided visualizations and rituals, narrative therapy, practical life skills (CBT), mindfulness (DBT) and other relaxation techniques.

I specialize in working with perinatal women and families. The period of matrescence, when a woman transitions into motherhood, can be a pivotal time in one's life. Motherhood and family life come filled with both incredible joys and tremendous difficulties. Navigating these times of transition with hope, trust, confidence, grace and a regulated nervous system can be a life changing pursuit, and one that all women, mothers and families deserve. Parenting is not without its challenges at any age, but it is possible to foster more peaceful, effective, and joyful family dynamics with the proper support.

Life can be challenging at times. We keep trying and trying, but sometimes, nothing we do seems to create any real change, or if it does, it does not last. After some time, our challenges can cause us to lose faith that it will ever get any better, and the longer the struggle, the harder it can get. It is time to try something different when we get caught up in this cycle. Instead of retreating or repeating, it is time to reach out. You do not have to keep struggling; you can change and heal.

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.
