I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 14 and over. I also enjoy working with couples. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

I believe that it is necessary to address the physical and emotional aspects of one's self. Therapy is a partnership; it is also a journey that we will share together. I consider myself a very compassionate person, but in therapy I am also very active within the process. I hope that my patients will be open and honest with their issues and needs. Trust and honesty is the basis for therapy to be successful.

Although I enjoy working with people of all ages, my specialty is working with teens and young adults. Anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, school issues, loneliness, relationship/peer issues, and/or substance use are examples of issues I have helped people work through. I believe that sometimes the coping skills we learn to manage one situation can be harmful to us in managing other situations. I want to help you learn new skills that make you feel empowered, loved, and heard.

People seeking the help of a therapist often feel alone, defeated, and even ashamed. Because of these typical feelings I believe it is extremely important for the therapist to foster feelings of hope and acceptance as a foundation for the work to follow. To achieve this I embrace the humanistic principle of Unconditional Positive Regard working with clients within a non-judgmental cooperative alliance.My office is located in a convenient, rural, residential setting that many of my clients have described as therapeutic. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, PTSD, and loss of meaning in their lives.

I believe in an individualized approach to counseling/therapy. People often contact me for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, and other life transitions. To me, each situation is unique.
My being a good listener as well as offering a variety of "psychological tools" are both important. For example, tools might include new skills in communication such as better ways to handle conflict or manage difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, envy or guilt.
Providing a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss difficult issues is essential. I also believe strongly in building on people's strengths.

My approach to counseling recognizes the uniqueness of each individual. I have experience working with folks 18-75 dealing with attachment issues, anxiety, depression, relationships, health concerns, trauma, grief,and other major life changes. My practice focuses on deep inner work that encourages self-awareness and a feeling relationship with the body. This work is facilitated by a strong and trusting client/counselor relationship based on warmth and non-judgment. My goal is to help you to make sense of your difficulties and become more comfortable with your feelings.

Life demands a lot from us. The world can feel overwhelming, relationships can be triggering, and families can be trying. The parts of us that require healing are often sites of shame or trauma—either that we've experienced ourselves or inherited from our ancestors. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment of authenticity, attunement, and compassion, where you can feel at ease unfolding and exploring this often daunting terrain. I am deeply invested in working to understand you and the stories which have led you to the present moment.

Most of us develop ways of seeing and engaging the world through 'habits of mind' which may create suffering, lead to anxieties, depression, negative self image, or unsatisfying relationships. Sometimes suffering emerges because of a particular stress in our lives; sometimes it has been a long unwanted companion we can't shake. With guidance and personal effort, we can discover and gradually free ourselves from self-defeating habits of mind. Individuals who may especially benefit from my approach are those who would glimpse beneath the surface of temporary symptoms to the enduring habits of mind which get in our way.

I believe that lasting healing and change can, and do occur at a very deep level. Although you may feel stuck or even hopeless in some or many areas of your life, it doesn't have to stay that way. I offer a safe, non-judgmental counseling and therapy environment to relieve feelings such as anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and emotions related to physical challenges, and aging. I also offer you support with issues such as life transitions and spiritual concerns. You may be surprised to recognize strengths that you already have to help you in this process.

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.
