Dealing with depression or anxiety can make life difficult. Our inner worlds are often shaped by experiences from past relationships, conflicts, or traumatic experiences. Processing distressing feelings or events can help a person deal with them in a more helpful way. One's history often has an impact on their current emotional life. Working through painful topics from past and present points in life can help one to develop resilience.

Your answers lie within you. As a philosophical counselor, my intention is to help you find those answers and move toward alignment with your ideal self. I've found there are life-altering narratives to be discovered and created through thoughtful conversation. Ideas can change reality. As we explore meaning structures, experiences, and language, we gain the power to influence new neural pathways and reach subconscious realms that bring clarity and affect change.

What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened? The prolonged impacts of trauma can feel like looking into a distorted mirror and wondering, "Who am I?" Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.

I understand that starting therapy can be a difficult decision to make. We all desire to be understood and to connect with one another, something that I deeply believe that therapy can provide. I work primarily with women who have experienced sexual abuse and help them process their trauma through talk therapy. I offer safe and caring support to adolescents and adults. I have been a therapist for over 13 years and have helped countless women with difficulties ranging from sexual trauma and PTSD to general anxiety and depression.

My focus is to support clients through a strength-based lens. I use the therapeutic alliance to collaborate with you to identify your needs and goals while treating you as a unique person.

As a kid, my one goal was to go to Hogwarts and become a wizard. Seriously. Other kids wanted to grow up and be astronauts, doctors, and pop stars. I wanted to grow up and live freely and fully as a wizard. I saw a lot of pain in the world, and I wanted a way to make a difference. I spent my youth reading about magic, waiting on my letter, and trying to encourage my magic to manifest. As I got older, and an owl never arrived with an acceptance letter, I realized I needed to find another way to help bring ease to people’s suffering. Becoming a licensed psychotherapist was the closest alternative I had to becoming a wizard.

Kids are often just as clueless as we are, when trying to figure out why they are acting out. Everyone experiences an asverse reaction to life that at times may feel impossible to navigate. These reactions are intensified and more difficult if you are a child without the tools you need to express yourself. Trauma often contributes and deepens the pain we are feeling, and close us off from healthy expression, growth and healing. Many of us struggle with impulse control issues, self-defeating patterns, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I have extensive work experience with children, adolescents, and individuals with trauma.

Hope is not lost. It’s time to process and heal wounds. Life’s challenges can try to disrupt our wellbeing. Learing to think differently helps us live effectively. Gaining insight through the exploration of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors assists with self discovery as well as building effective approaches to addressing life’s challenges and concerns. I have experience working with various populations in addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and other issues.

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.
