Therapy works! But it needs to be the right therapy. Our goal is to provide premium psychological services and research-based treatments expertly delivered via ScienceWorks' own technology platform, the Wellness Ecosystem. We begin with an expert clinical assessment tailored to you. We then write a report and treatment plan that you'll review collaboratively with your therapist. We want you to feel seen, understood, and hopeful that the therapy you embark on will be effective. The best way to do this is to begin with a proper diagnosis that aligns with a research-based intervention designed just for you. Science. Works. Live better.

I seek to aid others in navigating the gray areas of life and all that encompasses. I believe that as humans, discomfort is inevitable, however suffering is not, and I hope to help clients create the safety and security within themselves to reduce suffering. I have found great joy in creating a compassionate, creative, and collaborative space to engage in this work with clients. As a naturally curious person, it is my goal to invite all the parts of you to be seen, heard, and attended to in the therapeutic space. I approach counseling from a humanistic perspective and incorporate parts work in my therapeutic style.

From the comfort of your home, we'll carefully dismantle anxiety (worries/embarassment/fears/panic), insomnia (lying awake in bed), OCD and more so that you can live life fully. What doubts does OCD create? What if I'm dangerous? What if I'm dating the wrong person? What if this is a simulation? What if I'm immoral? What if I'm a different gender/sexual orientation? What if things aren't just right? What if I'm contaminated? Scary, taboo themes are not uncommon. It's OCD, not you. I see you. OCD is painful, but very treatable with Exposure Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Inference-based CBT.

I am passionate about working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma or are navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, or interpersonal issues. My goal is to come alongside you as we pursue healing together. Every one of us necessitates some additional support when there is something going on that feels unmanageable. While often difficult to initiate, meeting with someone is a brave step towards growth.

I specialize in complex trauma, and love to work with folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, folks struggling to navigate overwhelming emotions, folks struggling with boundary setting, and folks looking to explore and truly find love and compassion for themselves.

In therapy with me you'll learn the language of your nervous system to become your own best medicine & healer. Life is too freaking short to be anyone but yourself, and if you're not experiencing your life the way you'd like to.. we can change that. As an anxiety specialist, I can tell you that you don't have to feel so stuck & unfulfilled. Happy lives & relationships aren't just what happen to other people. You know that wise inner voice of yours? The one quietly telling you that things don't have to be this way? That's a voice that we'll work to amplify in our work together with high compassion, low B.S.

Currently accepting new clients. Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Struggling with hurts from your past? Want to develop healthy ways to handle stress? I help clients find relief from anxiety, heal from past trauma, and experience freedom from unhealthy ways of coping. I want to help you discover the “life worth living” as you define it. I aim to support my clients in moving from “talking” about their struggles to an ability to build the skills and make choices to move through them.

Has anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or a past trauma, made it difficult to sort through all the noise? Do relationships seem to deplete, rather than fulfill you? Would you like to use your insight and life experience to clarify who you are and what you need? And then, find the strength to take care of those needs? If you have a longing or urge for change, but don't know how to get there, I would love to help. Reaching out can be a great first step in acknowledging the importance of your own needs. Couples and individuals, I look forward to connecting with you and helping you down the path toward contentment and life satisfaction.

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.
