I am here to meet you on the precipice of embracing the unknown; self discovery, facing fear and anxiety, uprooting patterns, and stepping into the great telling of your own story. My work is reciprocal medicine; to see and be seen. Through belonging and connection I hope to create a safe space where one feels honored in all human intricacies. To witness, to keep stories, to listen, this is what I do.

We are biologically wired for relationship. Despite relationship being so natural, it tends to be an area of human experience that is equally challenging, puzzling, and painful as it is rewarding, transformative, and blissful. Greater understanding can be be found through contemporary neuroscience, direct observation and deeper introspection. All too often, couples get stuck in cycles of fighting, withdrawal, and shutdown, without understanding the primitive biological and personally historic underpinnings that color their experience. When couples are caught in these dysregulating cycles, the loving connection once enjoyed in the relationship begins to wither.

You feel stuck between being true to yourself and losing or disappointing those you love. You are tired of feeling invisible or alone. You feel anxious, might never have felt good enough, are burned out, and fear you won’t ever get to live a life you want to be living. You are tired of fitting into the box of who you are supposed to be and want to know, or be, who you really are. You long to feel more free, confident, secure, able to make decisions, and able to reach for your dreams or have a life you feel good in.

I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, and an IFS Level 1 Trained Therapist. I hold a masters in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I work with adults in individual sessions. My approach to therapy is that there are no bad parts of ourselves, but that parts of ourselves cause suffering by being disconnected from who we really are, our Self. By reconnecting lost parts with our Self we can live more empowered and authentic lives. The stories we tell are an important part of who we are. And they often lead us to the unprocessed pain we carry.

Are anxiety, depression, trauma, or some unknown “barrier” getting in the way of something you are passionate about? My clients often have a career, mission, art form, sport, or relationship that they want to grow, deepen, or master. Yet, at some point on their journey, they find themselves stuck. Often they have sought support from family or friends, but it's not quite hitting the mark. They experience fear of failure and resistance in light of uncertainty. My clients are willing to be vulnerable and challenged. Arriving with a deep desire to live a creative life of purpose and passion, yet needing support along the way.

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’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.
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.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
