I am honored to walk with you. I believe that we can all move towards healthier lives, if that is what we truly desire. The difficulties we face are not who we are and can be used as opportunities to reclaim more pieces of ourselves. By removing barriers, we can see clearer and make decisions that will allow us to live more authentically. My goal is to provide a warm, safe environment to explore difficult issues. This will make the healing process easier and can create a space to find solutions that previously seemed impossible.

Tired of holding it all together, but not getting what you need? Sleepless with worry? Big feelings are like dashboard lights that get our attention: They’re not bad, they’re information — And they're valid. No bandwidth for joy? Feeling chronically drained, lonely, and unfulfilled? Is your relationship running on empty, maybe headed for divorce? Perhaps you wonder if some of the hard things you've been through in the past are showing up in your life now. You're deeply curious about how you came to be this way in the world, and are ready to catch your breath, find your voice, and learn if you and your relationships can be healed.

Have you been having a difficult time lately? Are you feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships? You are not alone. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and life transitions. Some struggle with relationships. My job is to listen, help clients develop healthier coping strategies, and learn how to improve relationships. Sometimes that happens by learning or improving skills and being accountable for our actions. Sometimes we need a bit more.

Our world has changed radically in a very short time. The pandemic has created new problems and magnified existing ones. Our interactions with others, even within our families, have changed out of necessity. We live with uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. The "normal" that we knew before, has changed. Stress has taken on bigger proportions. Our mental health, our sense of security may be severely taxed. For this reason, I provide telehealth sessions through Zoom No need to come to an office for counseling when we can still "meet" face-to-face. Call to set up an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you!

Change can be difficult, particularly when you are struggling with the stressors of life. Therapy can seem daunting when you already have so much going on. However, it does not have to be. Psychotherapy can help you clarify thinking, gain insight into past experiences that may be adversely impacting current circumstances, develop a plan, and increase your ability to handle and cope with the challenges of life. I have helped many people make the changes they needed to improve their mood, relationships, and overall functioning.

I believe that therapy should provide a space for individuals, couples, and families to encounter one another and themselves in new and different ways. To this end, I desire to help clients to take risks to acknowledge their pains, confront their limitations, and grieve their losses. Ultimately, I hope that through their therapeutic experiences clients find the freedom to be more fully themselves and to feel closer and more connected with the ones they love.

Carl Jung once said: "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." Coming to therapy is an act of courage in itself and a testament to awakening your heart as a compass. Working together in a safe environment of acceptance and empathic dialogue, we will navigate struggles, develop healthy coping skills, and outline strategies that create hope and healing in the short term and generate meaningful, lasting change in the long term.

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.
