"Once an experience is fully in awareness, fully accepted, then it can be coped with effectively, like any other clear reality." Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy. Carl Rogers is one of multiple theorists therapists learn about during graduate school. His theory is strongly driven by respect for each human being and their capacity to grow given the right therapeutic environment. During our sessions I strive to provide the optimal therapeutic environment for your growth, self exploration, and self acceptance.

Psychologist, PhD

I help you to see your symptoms as a meaningful response to concerns that you have about your life and yourself. I help you become aware of what is keeping you from living the way you want to live. I help you to get clear about what you want in the way of love, work (expressing yourself) and enjoyment of life and to use your thoughts, feelings, intentions, talents and strengths to get on a path towards satisfying those desires. I help people heal from trauma. I don't believe drugs are good treatment and will help you withdraw from them.

Our children have an increasingly complicated world that they have to navigate through. As difficult as it can be for adults, we have to lead the way for them to developing healthier relationships, better communication, and seeking happiness overall. It is just as important that children receive compassion and learn accountability as they get older, so they can have the social and emotional skills that will allow them to fulfill their dreams.

Hello, I'm so glad you landed here! It can be difficult to feel so misunderstood by your peers, coworkers, and family members. It feels like such a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to others, and you know you need more support than what you currently have. Maybe you find yourself struggling to know where you "fit" in life, and what your purpose is? Societal pressures and community conflicts certainly don't help. You've been craving a safe space to just exist and sit with someone without criticism or judgement.

Together we can work on depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic, trauma, life changes/adjustment, grief & self-esteem. This may include stress, tiredness, loneliness, worry, trouble sleeping & burnout. You might be facing new life changes (loss, graduating, new job, moving, break-ups) & all that comes with it (grief, fear, hope). Maybe you struggle setting boundaries with people in your life, maintaining healthy connections, or just feel short on self-love & confidence.

As a therapist my driving passions are to help people overcome trauma, de-stigmatize mental health, and advocate for counseling, not just as a means of addressing mental illness but as a tool for self-exploration, healing, and growth. I know that therapy, or any commitment to change for that matter, can be scary and uncomfortable at times but I provide a calming space and an empathetic and unconditionally caring partner in your journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I truly believe that counseling can be a means to a better, more satisfying and comfortable life for everyone.

I work with those who struggle with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, insomnia, PTSD, smoking cessation and weight management. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on targeting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior that cause mood symptoms to linger. CBT is evidence based and involves structured content and exercises within sessions and "homework" exercises between sessions. CBT exercises and homework seek to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and improve positive coping skills and confidence. I am also certified in cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE) for PTSD.

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.
