As a counselor with a focus in trauma, cultural acclimation, LGBTQIA, and military life needs, I bring a unique set of skills and experience to help individuals who are seeking healing and growth. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients, so that they can openly discuss and process their thoughts and feelings as we work towards effective solutions. I understand the complexities of trauma, acculturation, and other experiences faced by these populations and recognize the importance of an individualized, culturally competent approach to therapy.

Maybe you’ve been treated like your voice or feelings don’t matter. Maybe you are overwhelmed, physically and emotionally exhausted, and constantly worrying. Maybe you feel alone, lost, and numb. Please know that your voice and feelings matter. YOU matter- just the way you are today. Don't allow the symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or trauma keep you in the darkness any longer. Even in the darkest places, we can find the light together.

We all want to live in alignment with our values, pursuing our goals and passions, but we can get stuck at times, causing anxiety or distress. Sometimes the cause is a past trauma, negative self-concept, difficulty with coping, or something unexpected. I love to help people uncover and examine the roots of themselves, their thoughts, and their habits. This is how we gain awareness and the ability to make important inner shifts. My approach to therapy can be summed up with this quote from the poet Rumi: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

As we try to concur life's ups and downs and attempt to figure out who we are. We run into roadblocks. Life is about struggles, barriers, and journeys, and sometimes we face things that seem too hard to overcome. Just know, you don't have to do this alone, part of being strong is asking for help or guidance. People deal with depression, anxiety, and trauma, which makes us who we are. The biggest part of the struggle is fighting our own internal demons. It's time to take hold of what you want and fight for yourself.

Have you been going to therapy for years, yet find yourself still struggling? Perhaps you're highly emotional, angry, anxious, depressed, avoiding, having distressing habits, or feeling hopeless like life isn't worth living. These behaviors are common with individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, or who have had highly stressful or difficulties with family of origin, all of which can compromise your sense of self, safety, and your ability to maintain healthy relationships with those you love the most. Know that you are not alone, and that I can help.

Sometimes a painful experience has a grip on you - so much so that you feel unable to move past it. You feel betrayed, confused, hurt, scared, desperate, or angry. You feel consumed by it, and it's affecting your relationships and your performance. You may question your life choices, and you may feel like you're at the end of your rope. Where do I go now? What do I do now? These are difficult, vulnerable moments in your life. Seeking help is a proactive and courageous act, and I will meet you where you are at. I am here to listen and provide a safe holding space for you to release the pain you have been holding in.

Authenticity. Honesty. Compassion. Those are just a few things I bring into session. I enjoy finding the balance between processing important topics with clients while also integrating psycho-education and action ("now what?") into the session. I value body awareness and invite my clients to attune to their bodies so they can learn not only how emotions impact them, but also how to help themselves when emotions become overwhelming. Counseling can be difficult, and for that reason I also bring in relaxation techniques into the session.
Dealing with Partner Infidelity
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Number 1 question I hear: "What about me?" Many people get thrown off by the sudden knowledge that their partner has been with another person, is consuming pornography, meeting many people through dating apps, and/or leading a secret life. In an effort to address this issue, a person can become so consumed by addressing the infidelity or sex addiction of a partner, that they lose track of their own needs. You are tired, angry, and feeling alone.

Come as you are. Creating compassion and empathy for yourself is different than making excuses for unwanted behaviors. Why do we make the choices we do in our lives? Sometimes the answers are slow in coming or they may change over time. Finding support and feeling supported during challenging periods is essential for our own personal growth. Together, we will develop a collaborative and supportive relationship.

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.
