3/1/23 Not Accepting Clients - Therapy offers a space for people to feel seen, understood, and accepted for their experience without judgment. I begin this process by developing a collaborative, safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. At the heart of my approach lies my belief that a sense of authenticity, choice, and belonging allows people to live full and meaningful lives. I support individuals to arrive at their goals through a process of self-reflection to reveal unconscious beliefs, free oneself from unhelpful habitual patterns, repair past wounds, access innate potential for growth and enhance connections with others.

I offer therapy without ideology for fair-minded people who have lost trust in counselors: victims of gender medicine and their families; the politically homeless; and others who've become increasingly afraid to express their views due to institutional capture. My clients often struggle with isolation, despair, compassion fatigue, stress, trauma, burnout, work-life balance, emotion regulation, conflict, productivity, sleep, habits, and finding meaning & fulfillment in life. I also enjoy helping couples reduce defensiveness, open up communication, move through challenging transitions, and deepen their capacity for intimacy together.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist and I'm skilled at helping others to navigate an array of challenges by cultivating growth, building skills, deepening insight and awareness, and fostering meaningful relationships. My approach is rooted in mindfulness to build awareness and insight into one's thoughts, feelings, actions, and personal experience. With increased awareness you will be able to "slow down" and better understand what is happening so you can respond effectively to challenges rather than react in old, unhelpful ways. I will also teach you skills to help you relate to yourself and others with kindness.

Therapy is about creating opportunity for different choices. I partner with people so they can find out what’s going on beneath the surface in their lives. When you’re feeling stuck or out of control, and your old ways of coping don't seem to be working, we can create a plan. We can examine why things are the way they are and what it will take to make a different choice. I can’t take away the problem, but I can help you learn a different way of dealing with it. While I primarily use an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) framework, no single therapeutic modality is 'correct' so I work to be flexible and blends multiple styles.

I assist individuals in identifying strengths and capacities that may have been overlooked or undervalued. In a safe and supportive space we work together to see how these strengths and capacities may be employed in building new and empowering life narratives. I have both in-person and online options available.

I think of my approach to helping people as a collaborative and educational one. Most people who come in for therapy are wanting to make a change in their lives but are struggling in some manor. I feel that the best way to implement change is through one's thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors-this kind of approach is known as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT).
A person needs to welcome the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind - These are the cognitive and behavioral aspects of CBT.

We can sometimes feel uncertain and trapped by painful emotions. Having a non-judgmental, supportive space to think through what feels wrong can be helpful. We are able to make new meaning when someone listens, helps us focus in on what is important, understands our challenges, and supports us to grasp more of who we really are. We begin to understand our own stories and shed new light on older, outdated narratives. We untangle from the repetitive pain we impose on our selves, family, partners, friends, and begin to take charge of our lives.

I believe that each person's life is unique and precious no matter how the person perceives it. I believe in our innate healing power, resilience, and creativity. I work with teens and adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotional distress related to loss & grief, relational conflict, traumatic events, and life transitions. Together, we work to increase your awareness, expand your capacity to perceive realities and new perspectives, and to grow to be something larger than current self. I also work with intercultural couples who are seeking better communication for greater mutual understanding.

I provide psychotherapy to children, teens, and emergent adults using an integrative relational or play-centered approach. I specialize in working young people who are curious about themselves but may feel adrift, alienated, misunderstood, or just tired and angry. For most of us, it makes sense to feel weary, outraged, anxious, or demoralized right now. It does not have to make sense to carry the weight of it alone.

My work focuses on taking a collaborative approach with clients to identify external challenges, personal choices, and regain a sense of control and meaning in situations that can feel chaotic and overwhelming. This means being encouraged to identify personal strengths to find solutions instead of pathologizing difficulties. My approach often focuses on issues relating to social justice, intersecting oppressed identities, and navigating an authentic sense of identity development within a culture of privilege and oppression.

Life can be messy. Regardless of our histories, we often struggle with the process of just being. With challenges at every stage of life & with every relationship, even with ourselves, we can struggle with feeling as though we belong, that we matter, & that we have a true connection with the world around us. That oftentimes involves emotions, memories, thoughts, beliefs, & behaviors. Finding a way in the midst of "messiness" can seem overwhelming, especially when you feel alone or misunderstood. Sometimes, you just need someone to help you figure out the messiness & create some clarity and find purpose in life.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. 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.
