When a child you care about is struggling, it can feel overwhelming. Young children express their difficult emotions and stress differently than adults. My specialty is communicating with children and collaborating with their caregivers to promote healthy functioning and wellbeing for everyone involved. In my office, you will find a safe, non-judgmental environment. I treat each child as a unique person that is part of a unique whole. I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach. I work closely with caregivers to develop individualized strategies, make changes and accomplish goals that are the right fit for the situation.

I am a psychologist who works with adults in individual and group psychotherapy. My approach is integrative in nature meaning that, depending on the needs of my clients, I seek to relieve distress through providing emotion regulation and other skills while also working towards long-term change by gaining insight into problematic thought patterns and relationship cycles. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger issues.

I really enjoy working with adolescents and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum depression/anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, issues affecting teenage girls, and women's issues. My work is best described as relational and strengths based, with a focus on the use of mindfulness skills and the teaching of cognitive behavioral skills to assist in dealing with life's challenges. I feel that my job is to be a partner and support on your journey towards change. I look forward to talking with you!

I have practiced psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families since 1985. My practice consists of a rich diversity of people from all walks of life, with whom I seek to provide a supportive relationship for change and growth. It is my privilege to be in a "people-helping" profession and to see the resourcefulness of the human spirit in working through the complexity of life and becoming whole.

I work with people dealing with the difficulties and struggles that come from living and growing. Many of my clients are struggling with life transitions, relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety or trauma. They may have noticed patterns in their life they want to change. All of them want to feel better, to function better, and to understand themselves better. You do not need a diagnosis to work with me. However, if you have been diagnosed with a mental health issue, or are interested in being diagnosed, we can work together to identify and understand your struggles. Your goals will determine the work we do together.

Accepting new clients (English/Français)! Do you find anxiety keeps you or a loved one from being themselves? I work with individuals and parents to build skills to overcome anxiety, depression, to improve focus, socialization, and performance at school or work, and to increase life satisfaction and improve relationships. My approach to counseling is grounded in holistic wellness. We are whole humans with areas of strength and areas to grow, and I believe it's just as important to recognize strengths as it is to validate concerns. Together, we draw upon your strengths to overcome the obstacles that you believe are holding you back.

I believe therapy should be a short-term experience that supports real change. If you are ready to "do the work" in session (when learning occurs) and "use your skills" out of session (when healing typically occurs), I am excited to be your guide and provide you with a therapeutic experience that is tailored to YOU. I work with clients age 3 and up with unique and fun offerings for each age group.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, depth-oriented, and attuned to embodied experience. My goal is to be present with you to your feelings, thoughts, images, and sensations as they arise, with attention to nervous system regulation and attachment dynamics. Together we will work to become more aware of the narratives and values that shape your sense of self and help you articulate and work towards goals that are important to you. To support this process, I integrate techniques from psychodynamic and emotion-focused therapies, mindfulness practices, expressive arts, and somatically engaged Jungian dreamwork.

I AM ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN MAY, 2022. Your deserve to feel worthy, seen and heard. I work with all presentations and while I am skilled in diagnosing, our focus will be on the parts of yourself that get in your own way and not the DSM. A lot of life struggles can be focused-down to brain-based roadblocks often resulting in a negative narrative that someone else has given you. We will build supportive interventions from a person-centered perspective. You deserve a whole and healed version of yourself. Let’s connect. **I currently do not accept insurance and do not plan to in the immediate future. I do offer a sliding scale fee.**

I work with adults providing individual, group, and couples therapy and conducting ADHD assessments. My first priority is cultivating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. Therapy is a collaborative partnership, and we will work together towards goals that are meaningful for you. My work often involves helping clients increase self-acceptance, develop self-regulation skills, overcome fear/avoidance, and live more authentic, fulfilling lives. I absolutely love helping people shake off the shackles of “I should” and move towards what they truly want and need for themselves.

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.

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.
