I firmly believe in creating a safe and supportive environment that allows children and adults to feel comfortable being themselves and gives parents the opportunity to learn and grow without judgement.
I am a therapist specializing in working with children (ages 3-12) & their families as well as parents struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). I believe that from the very beginning, families deserve the absolute most support available to them, and I understand that this can look very different from family to family. I desire to provide a unique and welcoming therapy experience that helps identify and build on the strengths you have already developed. Reaching out for help, whether it is for yourself as a parent or for your child, is such a brave step, and I do not take being part of the process lightly!

I work with adults , working through life transitions, stress management, anger, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and a variety of other challenging situations.
Are you feeling worried? Lacking energy and feeling like you are getting nowhere? Feel like you are not being heard? These are some common complaints I hear from individuals looking to make improvements in their own lives. I empower clients to develop creative and effective solutions to obstacles, with the overall goal of achieving happiness and an overall sense of contentment. I primarily utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist clients in removing emotional blocks and to move on from traumatic experiences

I have a strong clinical background working with teenagers, adults , and families.
Therapy involves a partnership built upon trust, support, and a non-judgmental approach. I believe each individual has a unique story that deserves to be respected and honored. We all have strengths and abilities, powerful catalysts for resilience and desired change. While my clinical practice relies on research based treatment interventions, I highly value the importance of humor and a no-nonsense, down to earth approach to communication.

Adults , teens, & tweens welcome.
A safe, non-judgmental & relaxed space for you to be your authentic self. “Cookie Cutter" approaches do not work. Our work is set to your individual needs, and comfort level. I am an Integrative Art Therapist and I use Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Expressive Art Therapy, Sandplay Therapy & Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping-an energy therapy). Non-Traditional therapies provide less threatening ways to explore emotions and they make it easier to express feelings that are hard to communicate with words alone. You might think, "I can't draw” that's OK. No art skills/knowledge are needed. It’s about the PROCESS, not the product.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 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.
