Hello and thanks for finding me, a creative, spiritual, outside the box thinker who has experience working in stress management, depression, anxiety and trauma. I can help you relax your nervous system, finding calm and your inner peace. Bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD , autism and a host of other things are familiar. I am trained in CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, hypnosis, family systems, behavior modification, ACT and parenting programs. As a yoga teacher I’ve learned the importance of breath and movement in fostering body healing and the need for somatic work. Currently not accepting insurance.

Hypnosis is a safe tool for achieving personal goals whether you want to stop doing something (smoking, over eating, biting fingernails, feeling anxious, worrying, any unwanted habit) or want to start doing something (eating better, exercising, improve concentration, test scores, even athletic ability). It can be utilized to improve mood, reduce tension and stress, relieve feelings of overwhelm and teach the body to deeply relax. Further, Hypnotherapy is well documented as an effective treatment for chronic pain and complements medical treatment. Regular practice of hypnotism reduces blood pressure and improves sleep.

Do you feel like you need to reach out for help? Do you feel that you've exhausted your personal resources regarding your issues and feel there is nowhere you can turn? Have you considered therapy? Therapy is a confidential process where you can feel safe to talk about the challenges of life and what it is that is bothering you or causing you to need help. Breaking that barrier of admitting one needs help is a very important part of the treatment process.

My clients should expect that the majority of their "work" will be outside of the office through homework, exposure and task completion. My clients will benefit from initial sessions that are focused on insight development and understanding the "why" of their current emotional dysregulation . Unmet needs, patterns of behavior and most importantly patterns of thought will be identified. Clients will then spend time utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies and interventions. Clients will experience therapy that will prioritize and embrace behavioral activation as the vehicle of change. Expect feedback and support!

I believe in the uniqueness of each human being and that all people have inherent strengths. I know when a person seeks counseling it is because he/she is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In the safety of a professional helping relationship you will address those areas as well as recognize and utilize your own strengths so you can move forward to resolve your problems. I work with people on a variety of difficult life issues and I meet each person where they are at. In addition to helping individual adults, I work with parents, families and children ages 5-18.

Effective therapy begins with a solid, trusting relationship between you and your therapist. I create a warm, open environment where we can build trust and address your concerns. Through therapy, you will learn new ways of responding to obstacles (internal and external) that are currently contributing to your distress and preventing you from creating the life and relationships you desire. I have extensive experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, social and relational issues, as well as substance abuse, and have worked with clients in a variety of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and residential.

All of us face challenges every day. Some are large in nature and require a lot of assistance to get through, others are smaller and require minimal help. Therapy starts with identifying these challenges and then developing the skills to reduce and ideally resolve them. Some therapy focuses on gaining insight into the origin of the issue which helps to reduce and resolve it, other therapy is focused on solving a specific issue. Some therapy spans years while others can be as short as a few months. I believe in the inherent healing capacity of the individual.

Many of us feel as though we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders…and we do! Our bodies and minds are the sponges for our world and they tend to absorb the challenges we cross. Our stress affects our physical bodies as well as our minds, and it is important that we connect the two when we heal. Using traditional and holistic approaches, we work together to heal from past trauma, manage the stress or negativity that may be affecting life, and to help to rebuild the body and mind as safe places to be.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
