My theory of counseling is that people have specific behaviors they would like to change, which are caused by our irrational, self-defeating beliefs learned from earlier life experiences. My goal will be to assist with changing undesired behaviors and circumstances. Counseling is a personal exploration that leads to major changes in your life perspectives and decisions. These changes may affect significant relationships and understanding of yourself. Some of these life changes could be temporarily distressing. Together we will work to achieve the best possible results for you.

I also offer flexible ways to engage in therapy; in-person, virtual, extended sessions, walk-and-talk outdoor sessions, and EMDR Therapy Intensives for those who want to move through deeper work in a more focused format.
Therapy for women who look like they have it all together but want to actually feel like they do. You may be thoughtful and self-aware, yet still find yourself overthinking, minimizing your emotions and needs, or carrying the impact of past experiences you haven’t had space to fully process.
Eventually, that constant pressure to "just push through” starts to take a toll.
Therapy with me goes beyond just talking things through. I use approaches like EMDR, parts work, and somatic techniques to help understand the root of these patterns, process experiences that shaped them, and work towards last change.

If parenting your child or teen feels tense, exhausting, or like you're stuck in the same battles on repeat, you are not alone.
I am a mother, therapist, and owner of Kindred Pediatric & Family Therapy. I understand how rewarding, yet overwhelming parenting can be. The meltdowns. The power struggles. The guilt. The worry. And over time we may even start to wonder if our child is the only one struggling.
The good news is you're not the only parent who's ever felt this way - but just knowing that doesn't change the difficult things you're facing daily with your child. That's where learning real, practical skills in therapy can help.

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.
