I mostly work in-person at my office on Corbett but I do offer telehealth/online in some situations.
I provide psychotherapy with compassion, humor and ability to be transparent, direct and authentic. I work with anyone going through difficult life transitions, coming to terms with painful experiences past and present, and recognizing any unhelpful patterned behavior. I provide support and awareness for how to get your needs met effectively and sustainably, as well as develop and maintain more satisfying and nourishing relationships. My work is centered around helping you develop awareness, listening to your body's own wisdom, and the impact you have on yourself and others, which allows for lasting change and meaningful connection.

When it comes to therapy, I practice from the perspective that the process of therapy is as much an art as it is a science. This means that while there are specific areas of experience or expertise I bring to the table, the course of treatment and our work together is going to be wholly unique to your story, your identity, and an ongoing imagination of the life you wish to live. By working together from a place of safety and empowerment, I am interested in exploring together what it means to heal and live a life that you will come to find meaningful.The collaboration that happens in the process of therapy

I specialize in supporting current and former emergency responders navigating high-acuity stress and occupational trauma. I also supervise CSWAs interested in trauma work. With frontline experience in correctional facilities and a Level 1 Trauma Center, I understand the unique culture and immense stakes of public safety work. You deserve a clinician who doesn't need the reality of your daily job explained to them. My practice provides a specialized, confidential space for individuals facing PTSD, moral injury, and cumulative stress to process their experiences with a provider who genuinely knows the terrain.

I work with clients asking the question, "who am I now?" Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, questioning your identity, recovering from a painful betrayal, or feeling stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. You might look okay on the outside while privately battling self-doubt, perfectionism, loneliness, or the feeling that everyone else seems to have life figured out. If you're looking for a therapist who will support and challenge you through grace, humor, and honesty, I look forward to working with you! :)

People come to see me because they are experiencing psychological distress and/or interpersonal difficulties. The in-depth look at these issues not only leads to symptom relief but to longterm change of dysfunctional and painful (sometimes unconscious) ways we may perceive and judge ourselves and to recognize and build on strengths. I enjoy being a psychotherapist in part because it is satisfying and exciting to see people become more insightful, effective and confident in each of the important areas of their lives. I have been doing this work for 35+ years and plan to continue for up to 10 years.

Most (90+%) of my clients come to me for help with anxiety, OCD, or related disorders. Many (about half) come to me because they also have some form of neurodiversity, such as autism or ADHD, and I have specialization in both areas and understand how they can intersect. All of my clients are struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, and are experiencing high levels of distress and/or have withdrawn from their life, avoiding their fears, but also making their world smaller. They often have stopped enjoying the things they used to enjoy and are wanting to get back into living their best life.

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.
