I have experience working with adult men, adult
women
, adolescents, and LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients with various mental health issues.
I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a pre-licensed outpatient therapist under supervision to become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have immediate openings. I believe that mental health is something we all need to attend to and that each of us is on an ongoing journey toward personal growth, but sometimes challenges arise that make us lose our sense of self and/or our place within our communities. I view my role as to help you address these barriers while encouraging your ability to make changes. I believe that finding a community and finding meaning/purpose are crucial aspects of the healing process.

I have over 15 years of experience working with men and
women
struggling with anxiety and depression, substance use disorders, trauma/PTSD and eating disorders.
**Not currently taking new clients** I work with clients experiencing life-interfering symptoms such as anxiety, depression/despair, compulsivity, loneliness, relationship distress, uncertainty, fear and hopelessness. Causes may include traumatic events, addiction, psychosocial stressors, and serious and persistent mental illness.

My approach is to join with you in the areas where compassionate understanding, intention, and work are needed to live the most optimal life possible.

I provide safe, affirming, and heartfelt empowerment and grounding to
women
experiencing a range of mental health issues.
We all encounter times in life where we are unexpectedly thrown off balance. Maybe you have recently suffered a jarring or traumatic event, or are going through a transition that feels more difficult than you had imagined. Or maybe past traumas or hurts have come roaring to the surface, impacting the way you relate to your spouse, your children, friends or family. Therapy offers a connected space in which you can develop awareness and insight into the relationship between past and present, gain resources for regulating stress and other overwhelming feelings, and weave new patterns of relating to yourself and the people you love.

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.
