The struggles of daily life can get in the way of what truly matters, relationships with the people you love most. With the right approach, we can get you back on track. I work with conflict, poor communication, lack of intimacy, affairs/betrayal, resentment, effective parenting strategies and more. As someone who has gone through several life altering transitions, I can help you navigate the rough waters. Relationships are an art, but understanding the science behind them is key. Together, we can untangle your deepest needs and help you relate to your loved ones in ways that will bring you closer than ever.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My goal is to make individuals comfortable with the therapeutic process through a holistic and trauma-informed approach. Specializing in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), I help clients release beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that block growth and healing. Together, we may work on navigating life transitions, managing stress, and addressing past trauma. I support those dealing with grief and loss, chronic and terminal illness, and caregiver stress as we journey to hope and healing.

I offer both in person and online therapy, whichever you prefer!
Not currently accepting new clients. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burn out, stress, or loneliness? Unfortunately, this is quite common for many people in today's world. Some feel as if they are drifting through life, without a deeper sense of meaning, or purpose. Sometimes, we numb the pain; other times, we just accept it and don't realize how to manage it. It is also common for people to struggle with having deeper relationships, whether with family, friends or romantic. If you would like to identify and explore the roots of these, or other issues, you have come to the right place.

The work of growth and healing is sacred, challenging and beautiful work. Often, my clients come to me when they are at the edge of something scary, painful or confusing. Maybe they are exhausted from their own efforts, physically broken down, seeing their pain leak out into relationships or school or jobs, and they know they need help. They know there's something more to life, that it's not supposed to be this hard. They don't feel whole, stable or capable of achieving the kind of life they know should be within their grasp.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
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.
