The best therapy always starts with being accurately listened to, so you can feel deeply known. Then as we learn more about yourself, you build your inner awareness of your emotions, thinking patterns and interpersonal processes. I will be with you in each moment, neutrally observing you, and coaching you to do the same for yourself. Watching together instead of judging. Moving your personal narrative into your embodied experience. We then work together applying many tools for change. My therapeutic style supports you, taking your vague desires, or back burner dreams and making them into actionable words, goals, tools.

Many of us struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Facing challenging decisions, navigating intimate relationships and family, and carrying too many responsibilities can be overwhelming and often too difficult to work though alone. Unresolved issues and traumas can lead to feeling "stuck" rather than taking steps towards finding solutions and healing. Many people resort to "quick fixes" when feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed, instead of addressing the root cause of the pain and discomfort. My experiences and training allow me to help you find tools within yourself to discover new perspectives and cultivate new skills.

Are you in a relationship that's manipulative? Or are you unsure and need some clarity? Maybe you've just left one and need someone to help you heal. While everyone does unhealthy things sometimes, a manipulator will leave you feeling exhausted, hurt, frustrated, and afraid. And yet, you continue to sacrifice your own needs simply because their needs are far above your own. You're empathetic by nature and do not want them to feel any discomfort, so you take it on yourself. But for all your efforts, you don't feel loved in return. You hope that someday it will change, but it never does.

The journey of life has rewards and challenges. Many times, friends and family are not trained to understand or deal with mental health problems, so having someone to listen to who does have experience is tremendously beneficial. If you feel that you are facing a difficult challenge(s) and this is overwhelming you and impacting your functioning as well, then it is time to act. I have clinical experience in various environments. I will support you as you build on your strengths. I specialized in diminishing anxiety and depression symptoms. If you want to work with me, call or email me.

I specialize in working with adults who experienced one or multiple traumas in childhood. I normalize the behaviors and symptoms that you experience and provide education on how the brain and body respond to trauma. I do this so you can understand your symptoms and move forward in the healing and processing part of therapy. Childhood trauma often contributes to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, relational and functional impairments, and more. These symptoms served as a protective layer in response to the trauma. These symptoms do not have to be lifelong and every person has the ability to heal.

You're sick of feeling this way. You hoped it would get better with time. You kept thinking, "I can figure this out on my own." And you've tried. But nothing's worked. You're tired & not sure where to turn. You're good at keeping up appearances, but it's wearing you down... If you can relate to this, you're not alone and you're not screwed up. Your brain is working against you, but you can learn to manage your mind & handle your negative emotions without getting hijacked by them. No one gives us a user's manual for our brain, but I can help you take control of your emotional health so you can feel better, probably pretty quickly.

Do you need help with your teen? I help children and adolescents who are struggling in school, social life, or at home. I specialize in working with youth who have ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, OCD, PTSD, behavioral issues and other disorders common among youth. I enjoy utilizing compassion-based practice when engaging in parent work, and strength-based approaches in sessions with children and adolescents. I especially enjoy parent training, which promotes parents to change their own behavior that can then help the child (or adolescent) long-term.

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.
