Disaster strikes and suddenly your well ordered life turns upside down. How do you put the pieces back together? Maybe your life has been stuck for some time like a black cloud within creating fear and despondence. Perhaps your concerns center around your children and how they are coping with life. No matter how hopeless you feel or how dark your situation, freedom and hope are waiting for you. I believe effective therapy shines light in areas where you are stuck and provides synergy for change.

Have you been experiencing difficulty with concentration, attention, focus? Have you lost your edge? Have you engaged with all the coping and therapy you can imagine but just still don't quite derive the pleasure or ease from life that you might be hoping for? Have you mastered coping strategies but find you spend much of your day coping and not fully living? Maybe you notice cognitive struggles? Things just aren't as fast or done with the same ease as before? Or maybe you have just always had to work a little harder?

My beliefs on counseling are regularly evolving as I continue to learn and grow on my own journey. My top priority as a counselor is to meet people where they are at and offer a safe, non judgmental space for collaboration and goal setting. In my counseling approach, I draw upon existential principles. This framework emphasizes the significance of authenticity, genuine connections, living congruent to your values, and discovering purpose in life. It encourages considering the broader perspective of what life has to offer.

l I've found people do the best they can with what they've got. Coming to therapy takes courage to find a new way of being. While figuring out what is working well, and where adjustments are needed, we will have fun, too. Rather than simply listening to you, or asking about your feelings, I tend toward questions about thoughts and actions. It's okay if you don't know yet what needs to change. We will make plans together to meet goals we set in the first few sessions. These will focus on changing thoughts and behaviors that aren't helpful or effective.

I believe in a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy where clients have the space and support to explore new approaches to mental health through examination of personal values and identities, development of mindful coping techniques, and integration of positive core-beliefs into daily life. I primarily utilize an eclectic approach drawing from existential therapy, person-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I am also trained in eye movement reprocessing and desensitization (EMDR).

Currently accepting new clients. Tired of fighting the sense of depression, anxiety, or loss of control brought about by traumatic events? Are you looking for help with your relationship? My clients tend to be goal-oriented, and are willing to invest time into their own lives or in their relationships in order to change them. With a few exceptions, our work will be limited to no more than 20 sessions to help maintain that focus. Therapy doesn't have to be a life-long experience for most people. NM Clients: While I am licensed in NM, I no longer have an office in the state. Thus, all NM appointments are via telehealth.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
