My therapeutic orientation is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which means we’ll explore the connections between the ways you currently move through the world and the ways you learned how to make sense of the world. I also draw from somatic therapies, helping you bring attention to the way the body stores emotions and experiences and releasing those that no longer serve you. I use an anti-oppressive lens and, following Liberation Health, pay close attention to the way cultural and institutional factors contribute to your health. I believe that therapy is one part of a process toward connection and a sense of belonging with others.

Psychotherapy helps people face what is difficult in their lives. Beyond providing relief and support, growth in therapy leads to increased agency and purpose, more satisfying relationships, and to greater spontaneity and flexibility. I see people with complex histories who present with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I am engaged, committed and practical in my approach to helping people. I continue to train in experiential dynamic therapy models, which help clients access emotions and outgrow longstanding and broken coping strategies. These models include AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy).

I'm a mixed-race, queer therapist who specializes in helping LGBTQIA+ folks manage anxiety and feel confident. I offer online and "walk and talk" therapy. People start working with me because while life is going pretty well "on paper", they’ve been struggling with things like getting stuck in anxiety spirals; not knowing if they’re on the right career path or in the right relationship; questioning their identity; feeling tense, stressed out, and overwhelmed; not sleeping well; or sometimes feeling lonely or disconnected. They’re ready to work on understanding themselves, figuring out their values, and building the lives they want.

I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions (marriage, birth of a child, loss of a loved one, divorce, retirement, new job). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. Through my warm, direct, highly international approach, I collaborate with my clients to address the behaviors that continue to cause pain. My books, teaching and supervision have provided training for 100s of other clinicians to help their clients to feel more empowered in relationship and to fulfill their potential

I provide psychotherapy to adults with a variety of issues including intimacy, work/study inhibitions and dealing with loss. I am an active, engaged therapist who believes warmth, curiosity and a non-judgmental stance are key to helping you to explore the nature of your problem and to collaboratively identify achievable goals. A careful review of emotional, medical and family history forms the basis of evaluating the scope of one's challenges and guides the best approach. Lasting change includes learning how past experience has shaped relationships, ways of managing stress, strengths and your capacity to confront current dilemmas.

I believe that a major goal of therapy is to develop an understanding of how we interact with and relate to the important people in our lives in order to create a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. I feel that this kind of self-exploration is especially important for adolescents and young adults as they seek independence. For Individuals and families who are "stuck" in difficult patterns, it can help to have a therapist guide them through struggles so that they can have more fulfilling interactions and experiences with one another.

I believe we are ever evolving, discovering new parts of ourselves, facing challenges, confronting stress, or adjusting to new situations--- it is part of the human condition. At times these demands are too much or too complicated to manage alone. I provide client-centered psychotherapy and consultation service for children and adults. My expertise includes helping individuals with anxiety, depressed mood, stressful life situations, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to life situations. I'm grounded in developmental, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and systems theories, my approach is client-centered, practical and strengths-based.

We are a small, patient-centered neuropsychological testing clinic. We specialize in doing "combined" batteries, which are evaluations that integrate all of the cognitive (neuropsych) findings with a full set of emotional/psychological tests. If you or your child has both emotional and cognitive issues, a more integrated evaluation will give you a sense of the whole picture, and will help you, and potentially school/work, understand the whole person.

If you're in a crisis, stuck, or at a turning point you'd like to leverage, a personal counseling retreat is uniquely impactful. It compresses 6-12 months of therapy into a week. The impact is also in the inspiring environment, and sustained process, which allows a deep and more cohesive process. There's time to connect many small dots to a bigger picture. Time to learn, understand and practice new cognitive and behavioral skills. And to cultivate mindfulness and perspective, to practice stepping back to watch distress arise, and then, importantly, pass. You come away with a lived experience of inner resilience, in mind and body.

I see therapy as an opportunity to enhance joy, spontaneity, meaning, and connection to yourself and others. It’s ideally an inviting, open, and safe place to explore your sense of your identity, and to learn about yourself in the context of a relationship.

We're more anxious right now than ever, trying to navigate everything that is happening in our lives and our world. It's easy to get out of balance, especially during this difficult time. It's hard to navigate our own lives and now we have other worries, many that feel beyond our control. Drawing on my experience and training in existential philosophy and contemporary psychodynamic therapy...a compassionate rigorous insistence on taking responsibility for oneself, we’ll try to make sense of all this, navigating habits and patterns you keep falling back on; finding connections to the things you feel are most important in your life.

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.
