My style is flexible and collaborative to create a safe and supportive space for you. I enjoy working with couples and individual clients to develop greater understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that are contributing to their dissatisfaction or distress. I approach this work from an empathic, non-judgmental and supportive stance that encourages a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. I think it is important to provide people with tools to improve self-care, decrease stress, and feel more in control as they work toward positive change and gain insight.

Accepting new clients at this time, for telehealth. When you are overwhelmed and overcommitted it can be difficult to cut through the noise and find a path towards balance and happiness. I help clients who are feeling that things “aren’t quite right” in their lives. Whether it’s work, relationships, or your sense of self-worth, counseling can help. Clients say they feel supported and that I take the time to understand them. It’s from that place of trust that we collaborate to help you tune into your inner strengths, tap into inherent skills, and explore perspectives to move forward in your life with more confidence.

In my practice I am hoping to work with primarily LGBTQIA+ and queer individuals seeking emotional and spiritual support navigating major life changes or events. My clients are generally seeking an active, empathetic listener to share and process their feelings with, but more specifically seeking a safe, non-judgmental place and space to process the spiritual and existential aspects of their experiences as well.

Connection and presence are medicines I’ve cultivated over twenty years of intensive contemplative practice, as an ally to children and their families, and through service as an ordained meditation teacher and spiritual counselor. In my own journey, I’ve been humbled by the many facets and layers of the healing process. I understand well the tremendous capacity for the psyche to accommodate unresolved trauma by intricate and patterned coping means. This tempers my approach towards one of gentle courage with clients. Together we learn to find a pacing that creates safety for making contact with what hurts.

You may want things to change in your life but don't know where to begin. Perhaps you struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or just a pervasive sense of feeling stuck--going through the motions of living. Where did this begin? How do you put the pieces together to move forward? I believe an inner exploration of your feelings will provide a path to calming the confusion and fear. Possibilities will be opened up and you will have choices. I believe these changes occur within the therapeutic relationship.

Waitlist for new clients
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe that sustainable growth happens when you feel seen, and when we are developing a safe and collaborative working relationship. Psychotherapy often focuses on improving coping skills, increasing interpersonal richness, and building a more solid self-experience. This work requires consideration of the underlying dynamics existing in emotions, ways of thinking, and relational patterns that are connected to—but sometimes larger than behavior itself. I strive to work from a place of curiosity, warmth, flexibility, and commitment.

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.
