I work specifically in the modalities of
trauma focused
therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).
My ideal client is looking to go deeper, and free themselves from lifelong patterns. They are struggling with identity, decision-making and an inability to tap into the power they hold. Depression, anxiety and trauma are ever present in their day to day experience, or they've worked on the surface long enough to know they need to examine automatic responses in a new way.

My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

I utilize a combination of techniques including
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.
Daily responsibilities and obligations can make self care a challenge so I recognize the time you're taking to find a therapist to meet your needs. The feelings from anxiety and depression can be overwhelming so support can feel hard to find. I use a client-focused, strengths-based approach as I collaborate with you on your chosen goals. My intention is to support you in feeling empowered, positive, and successful. Whether we're addressing emotional struggles in your daily life, difficulties in your personal relationships, or mental health challenges you are experiencing, I will listen and encourage you with compassion and empathy.

I am also well trained in
Trauma Focused
Cogntive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) allowing me to work successfully with children who have experienced sexual and physical abuse or who have witnessed domestic violence.
Therapy is a helpful process to cope with stressors including major life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, and traumatic experiences. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the clinician and the client including the provision of a safe, supportive environment in which to explore innermost thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative with a belief that my clients and I are working together as a team to enrich the client's life by raising awareness, identifying feelings, and improving coping skills ultimately to reduce symptoms and change undesired behavioral patterns.

Are you a woman having trouble navigating relationships? Do you often feel the pain of loneliness and so badly want to feel connected and loved? Is the dating world extremely stressful and confusing? Or maybe you are a woman feeling lost, stuck and overwhelmed with life. Do you feel like you're running on auto-pilot, feeling as though you are walking through a pool of molasses to get through the day, wanting more meaning in your life? Maybe you're consistently feeling badly about yourself; you are no stranger to negative thoughts. You can't seem to figure out why you're feeling this way or how to go about making changes.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I view my role as assisting my clients to more fully realize and become their authentic selves. Often, life events occur that prevent us from feeling strong, brave, satisfied, or even present in the world. We may become disconnected from others as well as ourselves. My passion is supporting clients as they grow, heal, play, discover, and connect within their therapy sessions and in their lives. I provide a safe, secure space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, wishes, and fears.

I have practiced psychotherapy for over 25 years and love what I do every day. My approach when working with individuals, families and couples is collaborative, dynamic, creative and often humorous. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic treatment and family systems therapy, depending on the needs and wishes of each patient or patients whom I treat. I feel honored and privileged to not only have the people I treat share their struggles, achievements, hopes and dreams, but to facilitate and witness their process as they make positive changes in their lives.

I enjoy working in a way that is both structured, easy-going and warm. Like Ghandi said, "No-one ever understood a truth about themselves unless it is spoken with kindness." It can be painful facing aspects of our lives that we have previously avoided or self-medicated. However, I do what I can to make this safe and to go at your pace instead of mine. Although it takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and talk about these underlying issues, in the long run, there is an equivalent sense of freedom and connection.

Therapy should be more than just talk. I offer more than just a safe space to talk about your feelings. I offer ways to truly become connected to your feelings and integrate what you learn about your feelings in therapy into your daily life. If you are overwhelmed with work, parenting, feel betrayed or hurt in the relationships, feel disconnected from others, maybe you sense a hopelessness around world events and/or maybe just want to learn more about who you are: we will work together to understand who you are, what is really good for you and what you want out of life. When you are with me, you belong, you matter, you are safe.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
