You deserve a life worth living! Sometimes what we fear the most is what we need to do the most. If you are reading this and you are feeling hopeless, defeated, tired, or simply need to talk things through, I am here to hold that "space" for you. It's ok to be scared, feel weird or be confused, we will figure it out together! As a Therapist or Life Coach, I will be a container for what you don't dare let out into the world. We can do this in many different ways; remotely, in-office, WALKING & TALKING and/or other movement related activities (i.e., sport of your choice).

I believe that each individual is unique, and shaped by their life experiences. Problems and difficulties develop when we begin to live in a way that is not in accordance with our "true self". My main goal as a therapist is to help patients explore what path they need to take in order to be authentic to who they are. The ultimate goal for each person is to live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Life is complicated, with many factors that contribute to our personal successes and perceived challenges. I work with you to understand current sources of discomfort and frustration, to reshape systems and situations causing distress. For many, taking the initial step to start therapy is often complicated by personal expectations and self-judgment regarding what they “could” have done differently in the past, or what they “should” be able to change (on their own). If you are finding yourself struggling to make a similar decision, you’re not alone.

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.
