You may be tired of over-thinking everything, feeling responsible for everyone else, internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, perfectionistic, or stuck in painful relationship cycles. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning young adults (under 40) and women who struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, OCD, panic, trauma, self-criticism, or difficulty trusting themselves in relationships.

I offer in person play therapy in my thoughtfully designed playroom.
When your child’s emotions spill over into big meltdowns, angry outbursts, or long stretches of shutting down, it can feel overwhelming to know what to do. Maybe you’ve seen your child struggle with anxiety at school, act aggressively at home, or seem far away after a difficult experience. You want to understand what’s going on beneath the behavior, and you want your child to have safe ways to manage feelings, reconnect, and heal.

I specialize in working with kids (10+), teens, and young adults. My ideal clients are often navigating ADHD, Autism, queer identity, or "gifted kid" burnout—people exhausted by the constant pressure to perform and fit in. They come to me when school, relationships, and societal expectations feel unsustainable. I help them move forward by dismantling the "masks" they’ve been forced to wear. Instead of generic coping, we build tailored systems that respect their unique energy levels, validating their experience while creating practical, real-world tools that finally make sense for their brains.

You don’t have to carry everything alone.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. You might be navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, stress, or a sense of uncertainty about who you are or where you’re headed. Therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, make sense of what’s getting in the way, and create space for something to shift. I’m authentic and down-to-earth, and I sometimes use humor or light sarcasm in session when it fits the moment. Show up as you are - messy parts, big feelings, and all.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
