I offer sessions in office.
I effectively work with a variety of concerns and symptoms, including: various levels of depression, anxiety, mood management, identity issues, loss of purpose and meaning, religious trauma, anger, shame, breaking codependency, struggles with self worth, setting limits and boundaries with others and obligations, sexuality or gender identity issues, unhealthy relationship patterns—but ultimately I strive to help clients become whole beings by reintegrating disowned parts of themselves. I find my passion strongest and my work most effective with young adults (18-24) and earlier adulthood (25-50).

I'm available for in-office and virtual therapy appoinments on Monday evenings.
Do you wish that your brain came with an owner's manual? Have your compulsive habits made a mess of your health and your relationships? Does a difficult past keep intruding on your present? I am here to help! My clients start counseling because they feel stuck in patterns of harmful behaviors and negative thinking. They can see where they want to go in life, they just can't seem to make the lasting changes that would allow them to get there. Frequently, they describe feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, unsure that things can ever really improve. Let me help you get unstuck!

Life is beautiful and there is much to be grateful for and yet it can feel incredibly tough at times. In those seasons, we often need someone to talk to, to help and walk with us in the journey. It may be anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship, or loss of a sense of self that affects your daily life, relationships, work, or career. You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and lost by trying to live up to someone else’s expectation. Even just getting through the day, and simple tasks like answering emails, texts or calls seem daunting. If you are hoping for support, you're not alone.

Navigating daily life when impacted by the effects of trauma can be difficult. What may feel like a minor situation or annoyance to others may trigger extreme reactions that are difficult to understand. Trauma reactions may arise at unexpected times, create unintended negative consequences, and leave you feeling confused, embarrassed, angry, and depressed. Working through the impacts of trauma can be overwhelming and intimidating. Finding a clinical psychologist with specialization in working with trauma is critical. For over 15 years, I have worked specifically with trauma related disorders.

It’s hard to experience peace when day-to-day interactions leave you suffering. Maybe you’re weighed down by daily stressors and not sure why everything feels so hard. Or your closest relationships are a struggle and you feel confused about how to make them better. Memories of old hurts replay in your mind and even though you want to move forward, you feel stuck in the past. You know that life has to be easier, better than this, but you feel lost.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
