My therapeutic style embodies curiosity, understanding, and authenticity. Over 10 years in the mental health field has shown me that each and every client has the wisdom and ability to know themselves, trust themselves, and find their path. My job is to help you reconnect with this innate ability to heal and grow. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to make connections, and vulnerably explore their true self and underlying conditions contributing to current suffering. We would be a good fit if you prioritize trust, acceptance, and an open mind to explore possibilities for healing and improving overall quality of life.

As a therapist, I really love helping my clients in a way that empowers them to make pivotal life changes. I am inspired by the courage my clients show as they move toward self-discovery and self-improvement. In the past 22 years working as a therapist, I've seen in my own life that real change happens when we have help to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

I specialize in trauma, PTSD and treating chronic pain utilizing both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy). Both of these are evidence based treatment modalities with high efficacy rates. You do not have to keep living with PTSD symptoms. You deserve freedom from the abrogating events which happened in the past. Making the decision to begin therapy is an incredibly brave act of self kindness. You can have peace, joy and happiness in your life. I would be honored to help you begin this courageous journey of transformation.

Is being really hard on yourself no longer working? Are you tired of being your own worst critic? Have you thought, "Self-compassion is acceptable for everyone else, but not me"? I work with clients who are navigating self-esteem issues, anxiety and stress, perfectionism, and food and body concerns. Wherever you are in your journey (even if the word journey makes you roll your eyes), I'll meet you there. Therapy can also help us to slow down and get curious about how our external world (cultural conditioning, experiences, systems) influences the way we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and others.

I use a mindfulness-based, client-centered, solution-focused approach to help clients reach their valued goals. As a trauma-informed DBT clinician, understanding clients holistically is imperative in prioritizing client needs and where to begin in the treatment process. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is great for clients who would like a more “hands-on” approach and are eager to start the process of developing skills to assist with difficulties often seen in life. I integrate components of ACT therapy, self-compassion, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT, depending on what would benefit the client most.

Sometimes we don’t understand the feelings coming up in us. The world can be unjust and hard, and things happen that make it tough to trust ourselves or others, don’t they? Sometimes we wonder if we'll always feel lonely. We might ask why our relationships turn out the way they do, or why we try the same things over and over. When we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop or when life feels muddled or grey, we can wonder if this is all there is.

I am completely honored to have the opportunity to work with people as they navigate some of life’s most challenging experiences and seek healing in their lives. I often see folks who are working through transitions, experiencing depression and anxiety, are coping with the impact of trauma, or are generally feeling stuck and want to grow. My work with clients is grounded in a relational and multicultural approach that incorporates trauma-informed principles, Buddhist psychology, as well as mindfulness and neurobiology.

When conducting psychotherapy or neuro-psychological testing, my mission is to provide a warm and caring environment and to see the complete person so that you leave feeling like you have been heard. As a trained neuropsychologist I understand neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as attention and learning difficulties and how they affect abilities.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by change, worry, or a past experience? Are you used to "having it all together", or maybe your culture and other intersecting identities have made it taboo to ask for help? Does the idea of saying no to others, or to responsibilities make you cringe? Perhaps your pregnancy is not what you expected, or you're feeling confused about why postpartum is not the blissful experience you once envisioned. Are you struggling to balance being a working parent and showing up authentically in other areas of your life?

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.
