I offer both virtual and in-person sessions and am primarily available weekday afternoons and evenings.
Talking to people and helping them through challenging times in their lives has always been a passion of mine, and finally getting the chance to do so is a dream come true. As a counselor, I focus on allowing the client to drive the session and make decisions about what they want to get from counseling. I also look at how the many different aspects of a person’s life and environment affect their behavior and where change could be implemented. Working with me will be a non-judgmental experience where we will meet ourselves where we are and work together to get where we want to be.

You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time-from school to friends to parents. You can’t get your brain to shut off. Lying in bed, at school…the worry is overwhelming. Maybe it’s about your grades, your friends, your parents, or your coach. On and on it goes and you can’t control it. Decision making is paralyzing and you’re constantly doubting yourself and asking other people for advice. Social gatherings may be limited or avoided entirely because of the fear of doing or saying something wrong.“Something must be wrong with me,” you tell yourself. It’s exhausting.

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.
