I am a holistic and somatic therapist. There are times in life where we get stuck; locked in traumas of the past, or fearful of things to come. Our body tells us we’re on the wrong path through anxiety, disordered eating, conflict in our relationships, GI problems, and other adverse symptoms. In therapy, I help you discover what your body is telling you. Through Somatic Experiencing, you’ll learn how to heal the intensity of your experience of past events that keeps you feeling overwhelmed and settle your nervous system in the here and now. For those seeking nutritional psychology this is used to improve anxiety & other symptoms.

New coping tools are essential for navigating our post pandemic era. The rise in mental illness over the past three years is simply unprecedented. Seeking out help (such as scrolling through this Psychology Today therapist list) is an excellent use of healthy coping tools. The next step is taking a risk of reaching out to one of us on this list (and research shows that just setting up an appointment can make you feel better).

It feels like you're not going to be able to do this much longer. No, the relationship isn't going to end. It's just that something has got to give. You've literally said everything you can say to help your partner understand what you need. Explaining, negotiating, yelling, managing. All in hopes that something will click. That something will create change. At this point you don't know how it's gotten so painful and lonely. It's starting to feel a little helpless, maybe even hopeless, that you'll ever be able to have the connection that you once had again.

At the core of every person are innate needs to feel safe, secure, protection, love and connection. These innate needs follow us throughout life and have a significant impact on our ability to experience life to the fullest. When our innate needs are not being met we can experience significant negative emotion & stress. If we pay attention to our emotions, they help shed light on areas in our life where these needs are not being satisfied, which often results in stress. Our innate needs are satisfied physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually & behaviorally, but we have to be intentional and active in that process.

If you have been feeling stuck in your therapy journey, you might be looking for a drama therapist. No, I'm not putting you in a show! I am simply giving you an embodied experience during your session. Research shows that we get better results when we involve the body, the brain, and the soul, which drama therapy can do perfectly. A typical session might include a ritual opening, guided imagery to make the space feel comfortable, and then the main event, of deciding which challenge to engage with creatively. We might draw, write, shout, or dance. You are the protagonist of your own story, I am here to help you navigate the terrain.

You've heard this before: "the only constant in life is change.” Ongoing change can make it challenging to maintain balance. Imagine you’re carrying a backpack. When change occurs, you store your emotions in the backpack. Eventually, it starts getting heavy and you notice that your balance is being challenged. And when your balance is challenged, you start losing sight of your truest self. I'm here to say it's ok to take that backpack off sometimes and rearrange what’s inside or take something out, or maybe just sit and rest a bit. Change may be constant indeed, but so can honoring yourself and your emotions in their truest form.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

The experiences which brought you here are important. Whatever is challenging you has an impact on you and those you care about. Your wellbeing is essential. I believe therapy is a form of self-care. It is a time for reflection, insight, and growth. Counseling also offers opportunities for healing, effective coping, balance, and clarity. My hope for you is that therapy leads to a greater sense of safety, stability, choice, and positive change.

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, 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.
