* Online * Intuitive * Integrative * When I first started searching for guidance years ago, I wanted something different than traditional psychotherapy. Something deeper. I felt stuck despite knowing many techniques that should have helped. Yes, I wanted someone to help me get unstuck and finally make the tangible, practical, positive changes necessary in my life -- and at the same time, I longed for something more meaningful than simply improving my daily existence. My years of seeking, study, and deep personal work have led me to the unique blend of psychology, spirituality, intuitive guidance, and energy work I now practice.

I focus on relationships, including the formative ones from childhood, current relationship dilemmas, and one's relationship to him/herself. I help clients identify their patterns which contribute to chronic and current life issues, including anxiety, depression and "stuckness", and to imagine new and more creative approaches to these problems. I emphasize the importance of emotional awareness to the goal of therapeutic change. With couples and families, I emphasize styles of communication and the cultivation of non-reactive listening.

Life is full of emotions, sometimes its joy but sometimes its a sense of struggling and pain. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship/marital problems can all add to this sense of struggling. Especially, when we aren't well equipped to withstand it. Sometimes that struggle feels like this heavy cloud or mask we walk around with. Sometimes that struggle isolates us and causes us to become disconnected from ourselves or our loved ones. Playing tug of war with that struggle only makes it more draining.

You've taken a big step by looking for someone to talk with. Perhaps you're ready to change the cycle of difficult emotions and unhealthy patterns of behavior. I would like to help you challenge what keeps you stuck and support you in making positive changes towards your goal. Life stressors lead to patterns of negative thinking made worse by negative emotions that keep us from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life. Past traumas can alter your coping and block your happiness. Don't go it alone. I am ready to be at your side and do the hard work you know needs to be done.

We all have had times when we find ourselves contemplating our understanding of life and whether our life has progressed on the path that we had envisioned. We may be experiencing states of grief, self-doubt, and worry about ourselves, our relationships, or the condition of the world in general. It can often feel frustrating and overwhelming to accept this experience and we can find ourselves asking, "What did I ever do to deserve this; why me and why now?" These are often the scenarios when we require support and a new perspective with which to consider life's challenges.

Negative thoughts and emotions disrupt your energy system. Our brain's default is to always think the worst and make you think that you are in danger. Some people feel that way all of the time. If you have core wounds that run deep, negative patterns may re-occur in relationships leaving you unfulfilled. You may even hold negative messages/beliefs about yourself not being good enough. We can work together to bring you inner healing and peace. I want to help you clear away the anger, resentment, sadness and trauma so that you can live your best life with optimal mental well being. Take a chance to make a change.

The earliest known root of the English word "patient" is a Latin verb meaning "to suffer". Suffering comes in many different forms. It can be expressed in relationships, in the way we interpret events in the world, in "disorders" and "syndromes", and often, in difficult to define moments, where we know something is not right. There are often roots to suffering that can be uncovered and understood and can help us to know ourselves better, to get in touch with what is truly alive in ourselves and in the world around us. Therapy can help us resolve some suffering and bear inevitable sufferings that can feel impossible to tolerate.

At some point in life, everyone experiences problems in daily living and can use an objective, experienced therapist to help them become aware and create positive change. In my 20+ years as a licensed therapist, art therapist and licensed school psychologist, I have worked with individuals and couples from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientation and ethnicities with problems ranging from difficulty in functioning to adjustments in living. My conceptualizations of challenges are generally relational and psychodynamic, but my approach may also incorporate mindfulness or systems theories. Additionally, I do psychoeducational evaluations for children and adults with suspected learning and social/emotional disorders.

Being human involves suffering, wonderment, and love. My work centers on promoting healing the suffering we cause ourselves, and on coming into right relationship with ourselves and others in order to grow into our full human capacities. Mindfulness, meditation, self- expression and finding one’s passions are all important aspects of this work. I believe that, whatever problems we have, we are not our problems. Learning to create life structures that support our best selves and finding ways to increase our tolerance of difficult emotions are essential tools in the art of living well.

What a divine and complex person you are; both stunningly unique and profoundly woven in relationship to all others. For you, I offer the healing arts, which can be playful and light-hearted while being equally capable of offering safe passage through some of the richest, or most difficult experiences in our lives. Some for which, we can be left without words. May you then instead be drawn in, danced out, courted, felt, and moved. May the song of your life be sung in chorus, and the beat of your heart danced with wild surrender.

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.
