I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents, adults, and couples. My area of expertise is grief and bereavement work. Grief results from many different kinds of losses. Whether you are struggling with the death of loved one, the ending of a long-term relationship, the loss of a job, or even an identity crisis stemming from a major life change, such as marriage, birth of a child, retirement, or medical diagnosis, you may be experiencing a variety of emotions typical with grief. Working through these emotions is essential in order to heal.

Psychologist, PsyD

My approach to therapy is open, supportive, and fosters curiosity instead of judgment. I work to help clients achieve insight about the origins of symptoms, while at the same time providing ways to cope with distressing emotions in the present. Our lives can be full of challenges that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, alone, and afraid. Sometimes we are unable to understand why we harbor such feelings. Therapy allows us to sort through our emotions, unhelpful behaviors, and negative self-beliefs so that we can continue on with more clarity, self-assurance, purpose, and happiness.

Daily stressors, life transitions, relationship conflicts, and unexpected hardships can derail anyone’s attempt at achieving their ideal lifestyle. As an LPC I seek to help others successfully navigate through obstacles that are often a natural part of life. The basic tenets of my counseling method are based on person-centered, collaborative efforts. I utilize therapeutic traditions such as CBT and Solution Focused Therapy. The integration of these philosophies shows a close connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while emphasizing the adaptive nature of your current strengths.

"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us." Therapy allows one to explore their inner thoughts and feelings and is a tool for building self-esteem. My therapeutic approach incorporates an empathic, honest, exploratory, and integrative style in order to provide a comfortable and safe environment. In my work with children, I incorporate play therapy techniques, as I am a firm believer that play is a child's language and toys are their words.

I specialize in working with individuals with a variety of mental health and substance use challenges, trauma, and overall difficulty coping with the range of obstacles life throws at them. I am also experienced in using a multicultural framework to explore various aspects of cultural identity, and integrating those identities into treatment. I take a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach with all of my clients. I view my role as not just giving you the space to talk about your problems, but empowering you to develop the skills and insight needed to make changes you want.

In our work together, we will identify and reach towards your fullest potential, build a sense of confidence and ease, and achieve deeper connections. These connections will include with yourself, your partner, family members, peers, and other members of your community. Some of these steps will involve making changes but many will involve noticing the strengths that you already possess! I will provide my knowledge and experience treating anxiety/social anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship conflict, identity concerns, social difficulties, grief, and more. I work with children 10 and older, teens, adults, and families.

It takes admirable courage to seek fuller understanding of ourselves and our struggles and to risk new ways of living. I provide a trusting, respectful setting to examine concerns thoughtfully. My approach is empathic, warm, and marked by compassionate curiosity about one's difficulties and beneficial ways to address them. I emphasize increasing awareness of the issues in question and developing coping responses that are useful, intentional, and aligned with one's needs and values. Successful psychotherapy is challenging, rewarding work aiming toward deeper self-awareness, genuine and fulfilling relationships, and consideration of situational factors that contribute to difficulties.

I love working with teens and adults who are exhausted from constantly thinking about food and their body, hate what they see when they look in the mirror, and are sick and tired of feeling trapped by an eating disorder.

You're looking into therapy, so let's do it. I offer intensive Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to fast-track your recovery. Your problems didn’t develop an hour a week, so why should your therapy? If you are experiencing flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or painful emotions that you don't want to talk about, EMDR offers a way for you to work through your experiences without having to share all the details. If you feel stuck with weekly therapy or have been reluctant to open difficult issues week after week, intensive EMDR can help. We can past in the past, so you can figure out what to do next.

Stressed, anxious, confused about your life? You're not alone! I have a lot of experience helping people sort through what's going on with them - their relationships, their feelings, their baggage from the past, their wishes for the future, and even their most basic concerns about their identity. The summer is a great time to get help with starting a new project or a new phase of life. It's also a good time to work on untangling the confusions and communication snarls that can prevent people from leading full, rich lives and having satisfying relationships. I am nonjudgmental, easy to talk to, and I've heard it all.

I feel privileged to be able to offer my assistance to others on this shared journey and commend you for reaching out for help to make things better.

Emotional suffering, while it can be scary and challenging, usually represents an enormous opportunity for growth. Embarking on psychotherapy represents an important step towards that growth. Although this process may seem daunting, psychotherapy represents a unique opportunity to learn about yourself, your relationships and your history and their impact on your life. We will work with the here-and-now experience to more deeply understand your relational patterns and their origins. Working through your unique experiences and patterns, will generate self-acceptance, compassion, greater insight and clarity and help you navigate life and relationships with greater authenticity, integrity and wisdom.

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.
