I am best reached by email. As a relational therapist, I want to provide a safe space to explore the different aspects of yourself and the relationships around you. Relationships are complex, the ones we have with others, but especially the relationship with ourselves. We may find ourselves stuck in problematic thoughts and patterns, which can be challenging to change alone. Maybe you feel unmotivated, uninspired, unsure of your future, frustrated with your relationships, or uncertain about how to address your concerns constructively without the discussion turning into a fight.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma or relationship dissatisfaction? Do you feel you are at a crossroad in your personal or professional life? Have you struggled with a recent loss or parenting difficulty? Most importantly, what does your ideal life look like and how can we get you from survival mode to thriving in life? In an effort to protect a client's privacy, I do not accept insurance; however, many insurance carriers consider me an "out-of-network" provider. The office is able to supply invoices with all necessary information to those clients wishing to seek reimbursement from their insurance providers.

Do you find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors to cope? Are you lost in the throes of addiction and reckless behavior? Do you continue to suffer from past experiences yet lack the knowledge as to how to move forward? Are you constantly searching for life's purpose and meaning? Maybe you feel stuck and have no where to turn. You might be interested in creating effective ways to manage your emotions rather then turning to maladaptive behavior.

There is an irony to healing. It is a process that requires self love and motivation, and at the same time the lack of motivation and lack of self love is part of what needs healing. We have an ability to smile or laugh externally while it may not truly match the way we feel inside. This results in not feeling fully known and feelings of loneliness amidst relationships. We are walking around with various types of traumas or betrayals from being hurt by those who should have been protecting us. There is anxiety, depression, identity crises, and the stressors of life. Yet there is hope to find peace and contentment and rise again.

Is your child or teenager having a tough time at school or at home? Are they struggling academically or showing more intense emotions, indifference, or disruptive behavior? As a mother of two, I understand how challenging it is to watch our children struggle. Handling the difficulties that arise by ourselves can be daunting, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed and isolated while trying to provide the support they need. If you are having concerns about your child’s or teenager’s academic progress, intellectual abilities, behaviors, or mental health, you are not alone in this process!

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.
