I strongly believe in the healing potential and wholeness within every individual. I specialize in working with adults, teens, parents, and families who experience anxiety/overwhelm, difficult life transitions, challenging relationship dynamics, feelings of "not good enough", and substance use/abuse concerns. Utilizing a humanistic and mindfulness based approach that incorporates practical and deeply connecting tools, I support my clients in promoting growth and healing. When we are in distress, or experiencing a longing for deeper connection, we can benefit from having assistance to turn inward and open to our immediate experience.

Welcome to the world of therapy, where finding the right therapist is like shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. Just as you would navigate through various stores to find the right style/fit, it is crucial to explore different therapists until you discover the one whose style/personality best fits. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and passionate adolescent/young adult therapist, you’re in the right place. Adolescence and young adulthood can be challenging and transformative times. With years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the specific issues adolescents and young adults commonly face.

Having anxiety is really difficult. Life changes that cause you to have trouble focusing at work make it even worse. Maybe pressure, boredom and worry leave you feeling ashamed and guilty, and you don't know why. If you get impatient, impulsive or just plain overwhelmed, there's hope! You CAN regain that fearless, creative mindset you used to have. You can point your life's energy back toward the good and important things in your life. You can learn to roll with the punches life throws, to laugh at life's absurdity, and then take back control.

Are you struggling with upsetting thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations? Does your attention get pulled around, like a cat chasing a laser pointer? Do you criticize yourself for having these experiences and wonder what they mean about you? I bet you've tried your best to cope - doing whatever you can to think or feel better. Maybe you distract yourself with responsibilities - or lets be real, your phone. Maybe you opt out of doing things and spending time with people - or just go through the motions. Yet, despite your best efforts, you only get temporary relief. And your life has started to feel smaller and smaller.

We are the practice to call if you are ready to reach your maximum potential. So many clients start out knowing exactly WHAT changes they want to make...but they need help in figuring out HOW to get there and guidance to stay there. If you have trouble establishing boundaries without guilt or are seeking to raise your self-esteem, we can help you. Once you are clear about who you are, rather than who you think you should be, all of your relationships and current stressors will be SO much easier to navigate.

Sometimes the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be daunting and overwhelming. You may have been contemplating the idea of beginning therapy for some time or it may be that an experience or something in your life has triggered the decision to begin seeking support and/or a change. Many people begin therapy because they are experiencing sadness, depression, anxiety, grief/loss or can't articulate the reason but know something is different and they just don't feel "right". Old coping mechanisms aren't as effective and/or you seek a different unbiased perspective.

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.
