I enjoy working with children, teens,
adults
, and couples.
I am a firm believer that everyone has a unique story to share. Often those stories reveal a lot more than meets the eye. Only when we begin embracing our stories does healing take place. By understanding and owning our past we gain the insight and ability to influence our future. I practice an approach that is holistic in nature and believe it is essential to treat the mind, body, and soul. I have worked with various specialties such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Sex Addiction, Substance Addiction, Counseling for those with Autism, Couples in distress, and Severe Trauma.

I also specialize in working with college students and young
adults
who may be struggling to balance work and/or academics, relationships, independence, and the changes and challenges associated with coming into adulthood.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, burnout, or just stuck and need someone to talk to, I'm here to help. I work with clients to process their concerns, then collaborate with them to identify and work towards their goals in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I use an integrative, strengths-based approach based on clients' needs to help them learn to prioritize their mental health and overall wellbeing while navigating through life's ups and downs. I am a person-centered counselor who recognizes the importance of uncovering the ways in which a person’s past can influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I am trained in EMDR (Basic I & II) and I work with
adults
and older teens (16-19).
I create a safe space for clients to wrestle with the false beliefs they have about themselves and help them find a way back to their true self. Through environmental hardships, dysfunctional family systems, or difficult life experiences, we come to believe things about ourselves that are not true. In this way, I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, post-partum difficulties, parenting, PTSD/trauma, and life changes. I walk alongside my clients, offering support and guidance as they navigate the tough terrain of their experiences and rediscover confidence and trust in themselves through this process.

I work with kids, adolescents, and
adults
who feel stuck; they are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.

I work with adolescents and
adults
struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-worth issues, relational distress, difficulties with interpersonal communication, and general life stressors.
As a systems-focused narrative therapist, I help my clients explore the personal, relational and societal stories (both useful and problematic) that shape and give meaning to their lives. My collaborative sessions highlight and emphasize clients' strengths and innate ability to "re-write" difficult chapters of their stories so that new pathways to empowered, inspired living can emerge.

This is ideal for adolescents,
adults
and targeted behavioral coaching, and can be a real time-saver when you don't have time to travel or would rather use an on-line platform.
Finding a treatment provider that understands your needs, or your child's needs, while appreciating the struggle to find answers and solutions should not be an additional hurdle. I have over 30 years of experience treating children, families and
adults
who are struggling with behavioral concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety and chronic health disorders and can offer diagnostic evaluations, testing and treatment individually tailored to meet your unique needs.

I work with teenagers and
adults
on a variety of goals including adjustments, anxiety, depression, trauma, and work/school stressors.
Life in 2023, sighhh. Am I right? Between work, school, juggling the everyday demands, and the greater world - it's enough to push most of us to the point of overwhelm. Mix in some anxiety, depression, trauma, family difficulties and it can feel impossible at times. That's where I come in! Let me help hold some of the difficulties with you as we work to imagine new ways of untangling the web of stress. The political is personal and often can affect our mental health! One way that we get through turmoil is to turn away from isolation and toward connection. By looking for a therapist, you've already taken the first step!

I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ adolescents and young
adults
and those with religious trauma as part of their story.
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.

Our culture provides little support to children and
adults
who often must try to figure it out on their own.
Sexual relationships find us at our most vulnerable, and it is often through sexuality that we experience some of our deepest yearnings, profound fears, compulsive behaviors, inhibitions, confusions, uncertainties, and desires. I am an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, as well as an individual and marital psychotherapist with over thirty years' experience.

I work primarily with individual
adults
and adolescents, and occasionally with couples/families.
I believe that some of the most sustainable human growth occurs via relationship. This is why I believe in the power of Psychotherapy: it can be a unique opportunity for healing, a process in which -- through genuine connection and honest feedback, we can begin to make sense of the way we have come to view ourselves, our relationships, our sense of spirituality and interconnection, and the world around us. Through our work together, my clients can begin to gain the tools needed in order to change that which they can control, but also genuinely accept that which they cannot.

I work with adolescents and
adults
from an integrative lens drawing on my Psychodynamic training and incorporating elements from Attachment, Polyvagal, and Person Centered Theories.
I am passionate about the ability therapy has to change lives for the better - how it helps people heal and build authentic, real relationships. I believe in empathy, vulnerability, authenticity, and trying to stay in the present moment. I am both creative and analytical and am excited when therapy is referred to as "a science and an art.” I believe in exploring the mind-body connection, especially the impact of breathwork in dealing with anxiety and stress. I love psychoeducation and the power of understanding ourselves and how our minds work to create change. I often help clients with anxiety, religious issues, and trauma.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
