Through deep listening and gentle encouragement, I can help adults and
seniors
find meaning in difficult experiences and improve their important relationships.
Being a teenager has never been easy, but today’s youth are struggling more than ever. Almost every day, I hear from parents, teachers, and colleagues about the effects of the last 2+ years on adolescent mental health. If this is you or someone you love, counseling can help.

Availability: I am currently only accepting clients with daytime availability (9am-4pm). I will help you identify what resources, strengths, and resiliency you already have - or can foster - to help you find the solutions you are looking for. I also value helping teenagers, and adults form a new relationship to their emotions in order to find ways to cope with extremes. When working with couples and families, I help individuals express themselves in a safe environment in order to find healing. If you are struggling with finding the light in the darkness, know that there is hope.

I see psychotherapy as a process of discovery between two people that can yield great personal growth and transformation. I aim to promote a safe, supportive and trusting psychotherapeutic relationship that facilitates the exploration of areas of difficulty, hurt, and vulnerability. I work to guide my clients to have insights into their own unproductive behaviors from new perspectives, have increased confidence, and gain self-acceptance. I ask probing questions and point out inconsistencies while providing feedback, advice, insights, and observations.

My life's passions include honest self-examination and personal betterment, and I am blessed to be able to exercise these passions every day when I work with my clients. The decision to seek counseling is often difficult as it involves being vulnerable and confronting sensitive issues. I pride myself in my natural ability to make my clients feel comfortable discussing such issues by providing a warm and nonjudgemental counseling environment. I focus on treating individuals with all levels of depression and anxiety, as well as relationship concerns, though I am experienced in treating a wide range of presenting issues.

Does it feel like a vague, lonely experience that is difficult to describe --let alone understand--even though you are experiencing this "internal discomfort" of inexpressible feelings and moods? Perhaps, you fit the general description of the "average, well-adjusted" adult; however, on the inside, it feels as if you are emotionally or mentally "stuck" somewhere in your past? If this resonates with you, please know that there is hope and that this "internal discomfort" stems from a very valid inner emotional space.

Reflecting on the way we navigate hurdles helps us to create better patterns towards resiliency and independence. You deserve to live a life of peace, clarity and comfort. If is both a reflection of strength and a form of self-compassion to create space and actively work to make positive changes. Life is full of chaos and challenges- it’s easy to lose our way.

If you are a couple looking for help, or if you are an adult struggling with ADHD, then I can help. I work with couples to help them move from feeling unloved, unimportant, lonely, and unheard to connecting and feeling loved, wanted, and heard. I help those with ADHD identify what causes stress and keeps them stuck. Then we work together to find ways to move forward and to address symptoms that get in the way of success and accomplishment. I work with premarital couples to help them identify potential problems and to gain skills to have strong, connected marriages. I am a certified facilitator of the Prepare/Enrich Program.

Do you feel unsupported or misunderstood by the mainstream collective? Does the comparison to traditional societal standards leave you feeling criticized, undervalued and maybe wondering where the heck you fit in? What if you had permission to not only accept but embrace ALL of the unique parts of yourself? Imagine celebrating the fact that you are simultaneously both Flawed and Fabulous! Radical self-love is not a myth, and once you experience this reality...you will not be willing to give it up! I can help you get there.

I believe that a good therapist doesn't "fix" you, because no one really needs "fixing." My goal is to create a supportive environment to help you express yourself and learn the skills necessary to handle whatever life might throw your way. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or are just going through a rough time, there are a variety of strategies we can use to get you back to enjoying life. In my sessions, I like to utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help you feel more confident in your ability to handle life's stressors.

If you’ve been struggling to cope with the upheavals of life, perhaps my approach to therapy would be helpful for you. If you want to experiment with healthier ways of thinking, feeling and being, I can help. According to Brene Brown, we cannot be more connected to others than we are to ourselves, and I have personally come from a place where I was completely dissociated from my own emotions, even after marriage and kids. With the information I learned on my journey to wholeness, I am able to help my clients explore ways to heal their heartache, and connect with themselves and others to find happiness and fulfillment.

I strive daily to take a compassionate approach while working with individuals including adolescents over 17 and adults. I have experience collaborating in treatment with individuals with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma and I work with individuals who are 17 years and older. I believe a significant part of the therapeutic process is building a therapeutic relationship with my client. Being able to practice this healthy relationship in therapy can help to improve other relationships outside of therapy.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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 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.
