I have extensive training and experience in psychodynamic (insight-oriented), attachment, emotion-focused (
AEDP
), and mindfulness-based ways of working.
Be yourself - everyone else is taken! My practice focuses on people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, and anxiety. These often manifest as difficulties in romantic, social, and work success. I help my clients feel better about themselves, less alone, and more capable of loving and being loved. My clients end up feeling more comfortable in their own skins and engage in life, work, and relationships with greater confidence.

As a holistic clinician I integrate physical and mental health by exploring nutrition as well as various therapy models deeply rooted in the mind-body connection such as Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness and
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
to name a few.
Relationships can be very challenging and complicated both with others and ourselves. If you find yourself in a place questioning repetitive thoughts or feeling emotions that may be roadblocks for personal growth, therapy is an opportunity for you to explore and grow both personally and interpersonally. We are all made up of many parts and often times we have some parts of us, such as an angry part or anxious part, that we feel defined by. Often times these parts unintentionally prevent us from living our truest selves. Working together we can try and understand your different parts and move at your own pace towards healing.

Struggling with marital or relationship issues? You are certainly not alone. My extensive training in working with couples and families can help navigate these kinds of difficulties. As a certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I focus on your most important attachments and the negative patterns that often derail these intimate relationships. Additionally, I work with individuals, who have issues with depression, anxiety, trauma, and the challenges of life transitions. My first priority is always the creation of a safe and trusting environment, where together we can come to understand your needs and accomplish your goals.

My psychotherapy practice is grounded in post modern and psychodynamic theories and I apply trauma-informed lens,
AEDP
and cognitive behavioral therapies.
My style as a psychotherapist is engaging, warm, and reflective, and I place a great emphasis on building trust and connection as the foundation of my clinical work. From there, we can begin to explore difficult and sometimes painful life experiences and understand the emotions beneath it. By paying attention to these experiences and emotional signals, you can better understand yourself, both past and present. I believe, at birth, we are all hard wired for healing and self-repair but we need the support of trusting and caring relationships to access the powerful drive within ourselves to heal, grow, love, and flourish.

My approach and style is rooted primarily in psychodynamic and experiential theories, including

With adults I find that the
AEDP
(
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
) as well as IFS (Internal Family Systems) Models show effectiveness.
At any stage of development, we are bound to encounter obstacles to our ability to thrive. I help clients to become proactive agents in their own process. I have worked extensively with clients across all ages to reduce symptoms, promote growth, and instill lasting change. I support children, teens, adults, and families in healing from anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. I have a speciality in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, especially GNC and transgender folks. I am licensed to treat people in about 25 states. This means if you relocate for college or other life circumstances, you can maintain continuity of treatment.

You're in the right place if you are going through big change and you’ve had painful experiences or trauma earlier in your life. When you've experienced trauma, this change is even harder. Despite the DIY and talk therapy you've already tried, you still feel stuck in the same patterns. You can feel overwhelmed when the usual ways you cope no longer work. You can't stop thinking about the past. You sometimes feel like the world is too much. Even though you feel alone and afraid, you don't want anyone to know. All of this makes it hard to find help that actually works.

Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain, just getting by each day can be difficult. We often struggle in silence, believing things will never get better or that no one could understand. Well-meaning friends and family urge us to “just get over it”-but that often that makes us feel alone. I believe every person possesses the potential to transform their life. With the right support and ability to learn healthy coping skills, we will work together in a collaborative process to create the change you have been waiting for. Therapy is a place just for you, to be heard, validated and supported.

Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

You're a woman who wants to understand herself better: how you're showing up in relationships, who "you" are outside of your responsibilities, and what gets in the way of feeling more connected within yourself and with others. Maybe you’ve experienced a loss or significant transition in life, or maybe negative self-talk or relationship struggles are wearing you down. You know life doesn’t have to feel like this, but there is so much on your shoulders these days—it has felt impossible to find the time, space, and skills you need to create change. But now you’re ready to lean in, with curiosity and courage, to what has held you back.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons—feelings of anxiety and depression, conflict in significant relationships, work stress, or problems adjusting to changing circumstances. What all these have in common is an internal sense that something is not right, and trying to figure things out on your own hasn’t worked. If you’re ready to try something different, therapy can help you slow down, take a breath, and get some perspective.

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.
