I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay,
bisexual
, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.

YOU are the greatest project that you could ever work on. With empathy being my greatest strength, I am able to strategically engage with clients by understanding more sensitively in imagining what it must have been like for them to go through an experience. Furthermore, I intentionally work to model self-awareness, freedom, honesty, care, trust, and autonomy, as these characteristics resonate deeply with me. I also naturally embody warmth, which encourages clients to feel safe and comfortable in opening up with sharing their lived experiences. I have been told that my optimism and positivity are inspirational.

Your sense of well-being, including mental and emotional health, is a vital part of your overall health and thriving and benefits from care and attention. Thinking "Hey, maybe I could use therapy," is pivotal. Usually it's pain, suffering, confusion, difficult emotions, and things just not going right that bring us to therapy. AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in needing or wanting support, or participating in therapy. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

As a therapist, I work primarily from a relational dynamic perspective and I use human diversity and social justice lenses to further inform my work. This means that I place particular emphasis on emotions and relationships, and that I strive to be emotionally present and available for authentic connection. It is my belief and experience that the work and healing of therapy occur within this connection. Therapy is thus a collaborative process of building an affirming relationship that leads to meaningful change.

I love working with people who feel pushed out of mainstream society due to their wonderful uniqueness- such as persons who are LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, or who have developmental delays, chronic physical or mental concerns. Telehealth therapy is really wonderful so you can meet from the comfort of your home. I truly enjoy using a technique called solution-focused so we can see change very quickly.

Life brings many changing seasons that present new challenges and struggles. Throughout the seasons of life, you can find meaning and hope. People who decide to reach out and seek to find meaning and hope are courageous. It can be difficult to be honest and look at your life's path; however, I am continually amazed at each client's strength and desire for freedom in their life. I thoroughly enjoy providing additional support that can meet each client's needs. I primarily work with female-identifying adults who are wanting to rediscover their identity and increase their own sense of empowerment.

People who benefit from therapy with me have often felt misunderstood or even harmed by the mental health system. Whether because of sexuality, gender identity, spirituality, neurodivergence, or non-mainstream relationships, they have found therapy to be unwelcoming or unsafe. This means I try never to take your trust for granted. I engage as fully as possible with your values, needs, and preferences, and I adapt my approach based on your response and feedback. You're always steering the ship in your therapy—I am only a guide.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed and trying to handle things on your own? Are you thinking things are not improving? It can be scary to seek out support from someone you don’t know. Seeking therapy is a great step to receive support and guidance to improve your wellbeing. People who seek counseling are taking the steps needed to heal and improve their wellness.

Are your relationships creating emotional strain on your day to day life? Is communicating, setting personal boundaries, and managing your mood an ongoing difficulty? Perhaps your headspace and sense of identity has been clouded by doubt, self-criticism, and regret, or maybe COVID has left you feeling disconnected with who you are and where you’re going. I can support you through these challenges and more as you grow, reflect, and become more empowered to live the life you want. In my counseling space, clients name their goals and what progress looks like, and they process their past and how it impacts them in the present.

Our mental health matters, for ourselves, our families, and our communities. Wellness is an ongoing practice that never ends. It is only natural that a never-ending practice takes experimentation, patience, and time. Sometimes we are not always able to care for ourselves as we might hope to, or maybe what used to work for us no longer works. I can support you as you enter into the present moment and create new paths forward that work for you.

Clients and colleagues usually describe me as warm, real, direct, with a good sense of humor. Collaboration is important to me and I strive to be transparent, explain my thinking, and make sure I understand you correctly first before I offer insights or suggestions. As a more active therapist I tend to work best with clients who want both supportive and (gently) challenging feedback. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ clients, young adults, health professional students, and clients with immigration backgrounds/experiences. I am able to meet for consultations to write letters for gender affirming surgeries.

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, 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.
