I believe every individual has the power within to reach a state of inner peace and harmony. As life confronts us with challenging experiences, our body and mind may respond with unhealthy coping strategies, resulting in feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. While you may be feeling this way now, you are capable of finding relief. As we work together collaboratively, I will meet you where you are at, to help guide you to find your inner peace by breaking down barriers and learning healthy coping strategies.

I have seen the growth and healing that can happen when you experience understanding and acceptance in a safe and compassionate environment. Whether you are coming into therapy to address current stressors in your life or are ready to work through past trauma, I will provide you with a supportive environment to begin that process. Together we will build awareness of your core beliefs, identify your patterns of interacting with the world, and uncover your inner strengths. Through learning the impact of traumatic experiences on the brain and nervous system, we can learn to regulate our emotions and increase safety in the body.

I am passionate about helping those with significant trauma and abuse stories. You are my people! I specialize in helping clients recover from complex trauma, and the behaviors that often go with it, such as self-harming, self-medicating, and a lack of self-compassion. My approach is grounded in trauma-focused, attachment-based care. I am most concerned with the meaning you give to what you have been through, and how it has influenced you, and who you are. My goal, always, is to help you walk your own path and create an environment in which you feel empowered to reach your highest potential.

I believe in a collaborative approach to help people create a healthier perception of themselves while strengthening their resources, and relationships during the healing process.

We are in this experience of life that finds us in frequent transitions in relationships, career, habits, and sense of self. Even changes we think may be positive in our lives can come with some unexpected sensations and emotions. I often work with clients who are navigating life changes and looking to build skills to balance between change and acceptance, and (re-)evaluate their values and actions. Together we can work to (re-)build a life with meaning that can withstand the transitions now as well as prepare for those ahead.

(*practice currently full) All people want to be at peace in a complex and confusing world. Life throws pain our way and we struggle to understand why we are experiencing it and how to adapt. We all grapple at some point with failures, break-ups, confusing relationships, conflicts, insecurities, fears, losses and an entire host of questions life presses us to answer. We can be confused about something that happened or where we’re headed. There is no text book to make these answers easy. The Earth School is the hardest classroom we will ever sit in and we’re bound to stumble into some situations feeling overwhelmed and unprepared.

Do you want to make meaningful change but don’t know where to start? Change can be scary. Maybe it feels hard to get motivated. You might feel disconnected from yourself, or like you can’t do the things you once could. It might even feel like a part of you is staring to work against you. We will work together to honor all of you to support holistic healing. In our sessions, we will create a sacred and healing space for you to bring and express all of you. Creative expression (art, music, etc) invited and encouraged. In this space, I will be empathic, empowering, and genuine. I strive to be warm, welcoming, and inclusive in my work.

I work with individuals, couples, and families on a variety of issues including: parenting and school issues, TAG, underachievement, and learning disabilities; trauma healing; healthy communication; relationship dynamics; anxiety and depression; and chronic illness. People do the best they can at any given time. Sometimes life brings challenges which can overwhelm an individual's, couple's or family's resources. I work with clients to assess their current situation, identify goals, and develop strategies to meet those goals in a timely manner. My clients find ways to supplement existing coping skills and develop new approaches to replace ineffective strategies.

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 United States, 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, 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.
