I am a caring, evidence-based, and holistic (consideration of the whole) therapist looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most challenging of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid".

We all tend to search for the same things within and outside of ourselves. We want to feel loved, seen, heard, understood, important and worthy. We want to feel alive, good about ourselves and what we do each day. We have internalized negative, limiting beliefs about ourselves, others and life that keep us stuck. We have adapted to our experiences in order to survive and these skills may no longer serve us. If you are tired of feeling the way that you feel, if your soul feels weary; then it's time.

Please Note: I am unable to take Anthem BC/BS clients currently. It can be overwhelming to know how to ask for help. If you do not know where to turn; or if you are struggling, don't try to face it alone. Let me be your guide. I enjoy working with couples and families who have lost their way and individuals (ages twelve and up) who struggle with relationship issues, mood or substance use disorders. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, meditation, mindfulness, a sense of joy and humor to help clients and families be the best version of themselves.

Women are feeling the pressure to be perfect & to do it all now more than ever. We are dropping out of the workforce or working at our careers then working "the double shift" at home. You tell yourself that you wont reach your goals. You predict what will happen and constantly ask “but what if...” You feel like something is broken or missing. You don't feel good enough. Despite your accomplishments, you feel like a failure. You put other peoples needs first. These thoughts have taken over and keep you up at night. I am here to help.

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.
