Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I understand the importance of identifying a professional that can best help you with your current challenges. For that reason, I would like to take a minute and briefly share my beliefs about counseling.
Our close relationships are often the sources of our greatest joy and most intense pain. Couples counseling can provide a space to address a relationship's perpetual problems. I believe that any relationship can heal with commitment and willingness to change. I have a passion for helping couples achieve lasting connection and satisfying relationships.

I specialize in working with patients who have experienced trauma and are seeking insight into the origins of their symptoms in order to achieve symptom reduction. These patients often seek assistance with depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, etc., and through psychoeducation and deep exploration come to find that the symptoms are manifestations of unresolved emotion and unexplored inner worlds. The initial presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, etc. in this case, are sometimes merely metaphor of adverse experiences stored in the internal landscape. My approach involves using my creative clinical skill set to

What do you notice happening when life's demands become too overwhelming? Do you begin to feel consumed by a critical voice? Perhaps hopeless or shame quickly take over. Or, maybe, you stop focusing on what you need and daily life feels chaotic. You keep returning to coping strategies that aren't working, and you are ready for something different. In-depth psychotherapy can help in understanding yourself so that old patterns of relating are no longer needed.

I believe people's pain is holy and sacred ground and that every individual's story has value. I work with individuals and couples, and I'm passionate about understanding my clients' struggles and giving them hope for healing and redemption. In coming to counseling, my clients can be assured that I'll provide a safe, non-judgmental space for them to grow and find healing. Of particular interest to me is helping people who struggle with relationship difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, vaginismus, sexual shame, religious and sexual identity conflicts, spirituality, and conflict and boundary issues.

I wonder if you suffer with feelings of sadness or loss, or if you're isolated and feel alone? Maybe you're confused about decisions you need to make or struggling within a relationship. Maybe the stream of thoughts in your head is too much or you feel shame or guilt for things you've done or said. I wonder if you feel disconnected from others? Maybe you're having a hard time understanding what it is you feel and think. I work with individuals who are experiencing any number of struggles and are seeking relief and clarity.

Serious and chronic illness, difficult life transitions, divorce, or the profound grief you experience with the loss of a loved one – it can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, angry, confused, isolated, and lost. A lot of the time, we acclimate and move right along, but other times, it throws us completely off course. When the unthinkable happens to you, how do you get to a place where you feel safe, content, and at peace? Whatever your therapeutic goals may be, you deserve to feel heard, understood, and validated.

The world we live in today can be chaotic and scary. The constant stress and worry about your relationships, physical and mental health, career, and more can feel overwhelming to the point of completely shutting down. Some days you may even feel like falling asleep and never waking up again. This is not the life you thought you would live. Instead, you were hoping for comfort, security, confidence in yourself, and joy that radiates from deep within your soul. You want relationships that support you and meet your needs and desires, a career that feels satisfying and the ability to look in the mirror and smile back at what you see.

Life is not always easy. Transitions, such as becoming an adult, getting married, becoming a parent, or changing careers can be welcome changes but can also be hard to get through. We also come across challenges in our day to day life that we may have a hard time coping with. Sometimes these things lead to issues like anxiety, depression, grief, struggles in relationships, or issues with school or work. My background in both Social Work and Child Development gives me a unique, holistic perspective that informs my practice with my clients as they move through the changes that come with their lives.

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.
