I believe the healing power of therapy lies in the strength of connection and trust within the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe space in which individuals and couples can show up, just as they are, while learning to grow into their strengths and foster self-understanding and compassion. I also support clients in seeing themselves within the larger context of their lived history, and the wider social landscape.

If you are here, you might be a creative person who feels stuck in your ability to move forward and actualize your full, unique potential. "Stuck" might take many forms –depression, chronic anxiety, trauma patterns, miscellaneous self-sabotage, or issues in relationships. Maybe you've been through (or are in the middle of) a challenging experience that you have yet to fully digest. Maybe your ways of being are at odds with "normal" systems and structures. Whatever it is, you want to make the shifts that let you bloom more fully in your life. I help you nourish your gifts and cultivate resilience in the face of life's challenges.

Are you looking to make positive changes in your personal, relationships, or work life? Feel better mentally and physically? Quit smoking, lose weight, or generally feel more confident and fulfilled? Stress and anxiety can be challenging hurdles to overcome without the right tools. It’s easy to look around and see others seemingly at peace and living their lives to the fullest while you feel like you’re barely treading water. You would like to change your behavior, beliefs, or thoughts, or perhaps resolve emotions that weigh you down but have yet to be as successful as you would like.

As a fellow queer nuerodivergent geek, it can be challenging to find mental health professionals who understand the importance of fandoms, videogames, cosplay, and other geeky interests in the therapeutic space. Sometimes it feels like speaking another language. However, here the geeky is celebrated for the strength it has brought and looks at how to transfer those strengths to other areas such as working with anxiety, exploring one's gender identity, or learning to set healthy boundaries with others. I view our time as a place to explore parts we don't often give space to in our regular day.

Our natural state is wellness. Yet many of us feel sick in our souls. Empty and discouraged, we seek creative bandaids to contain our despair : pursuits of money, relationships, sex, achievement, adventure, good works, productivity. Even health practices can become compulsive activities that fail to mend a persistent sense of inner broken-ness. Mindful Psychotherapy cultivates inherent wellness in the midst of life difficulty and opens the potential for real and lasting change.

For over 25 years, I've worked with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and grief. I listen carefully and work to help my clients understand their patterns, such as repeatedly thinking, feeling or doing what they often would rather not. Respecting the need for confidentiality, empathy, honesty and humor, I encourage the exploration of conscious and unconscious thoughts/feelings and help to identify how significant past experiences have influenced the present. Working through issues, using insight and the therapeutic connection, strengthens self acceptance, fulfillment, and success in relationships, school and work.

My work is organized around the principle of post traumatic growth (see Tedeschi & Calhoun). Extensive research has demonstrated that those people who have been traumatized who get better change 3 things: relationship with self; relationship with other people; relationship with philosophy or religion. I help the wonderful people who work with me make those changes.

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.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
