Hi! My focus is to create an environment in which you feel safe and provide me the privilege of trust to hold space for you. I provide a warm and inviting space for children, teens and adults. Children can find a playful space that allows the child to process their worlds and express themselves in an environment that speaks to their hearts- through the natural language of play in a carefully selected playroom. Teens and adults can find a homelike space that allows the ability to kick up your feet and work through life's struggles. I truly believe in creating a safe place for teens and adults that creates a space to help make change.

One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.

You know you need help, but don’t know who to talk to or if talking will even change anything. You’ve experienced a trauma and you are tired of talking about it, but you don’t want to feel “that feeling" anymore. You know that something is wrong, but you can’t seem to put words to it. Or maybe you have been to therapy before and just talking about it didn’t seem to help. Perhaps your child is not behaving in school like he or she used to, they’re no longer talking, grades are falling and their getting into fights. Maybe your family just doesn’t get it, if you could just do or be what they want things will be ok, but there not.

Anxiety can cause distressing bodily sensations and worry thoughts. It can prevent you from living life to the fullest, as you avoid situations and fear the worst. The “what if” thoughts and worse case scenarios occupy your mind, making it difficult to focus. Feeling overwhelmed and unable to focus or relax. Perfectionism leaves you constantly disappointed. Would you like to manage anxiety, rather than it managing you? Learn to live in the present and take the necessary risks for growth. Increase your tolerance of uncertainty, bodily sensations, and acceptance of the unknown. Expand your ability to cope with distress.

You’ve been feeling like something is “off” for a while now. You constantly feel unmotivated, without direction, sad, anxious and lost. It seems like your friends and everyone around you is happier and more together. Do you ask yourself why life seems so hard for you? You are lonely and feel like no one understands. Maybe you’ve reached out for help before. Therapy wasn’t helpful. You talked to a well-meaning someone who told you to do something: get fit, make more friends, ‘put yourself out there,’ pray more. At this point you don’t want advice, you just want to be heard and seen for who you are.

Having worked in the field of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency and treatment for over 35 years, I lived through the disease of addiction myself. Today, helping individuals and families from all walks of life to be able to receive the help they need I believe that experiencing the horrors of the illness first hand far better prepared me to help those in need than the years of professional training that have followed. Today, fortunate to have lived the past 40 + years in my own recovery, I remain forever grateful to those who cared enough to help me at a time when I could not help myself.

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.
