Sometimes it seems like we are trapped in an unfulfilling routine that repeats week after week. It feels like a constant struggle to try to keep up with our responsibilities, and we start to wonder if we’re even getting anywhere worthwhile. The news headlines are depressing, the future feels uncertain at best, and even finding time and energy for self-care is challenging. It’s easy to fall into bad habits, and harder to build the healthy ones. When all of that is topped with work stress, relationship or health challenges, parenting struggles, loss of a loved one, or a traumatic event, it can become too much to bear alone.

As a Psychologist and relationship specialist, I can help you explore the aspects of your life that are no longer working and causing you stress and pain. If you struggle to recognize and feel your emotions and want a better way to handle overwhelming feelings, I can help. It's hard to be vulnerable if you've never learned how or have been hurt before.

**NEW CLIENTS - Please email me** No one deserves to live in pain. For therapy to work, you need three things: curiosity about yourself and your interactions with others, an authentic connection with your therapist, and concrete, practical tools and skills to promote real and lasting change. My job is to facilitate an understanding of what is causing you pain and getting in your way of creating your best life. As your therapist, I don’t “just listen.” I use an integrative approach, combining several modalities to create the most effective treatment for each client. I practice remote therapy with individual adults.

Healthy relationships provide a nourishing, supportive connection that allows those in the relationship the safety and freedom to love each other and themselves well, and it can feel lonely, confusing, and heartbreaking when your relationship feels otherwise. I work with individuals, couples, and romantic partnerships who are experiencing relationship difficulties or general mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, trauma, loss). Relationship difficulties often include poor communication, conflict, distance, codependence, wanting different things, working through a breach of trust, such as infidelity, and sexual concerns.

I am accepting new clients. My clients are children, adults, and families. Children usually present behavior problems that are either internalized or externalized and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. Adult clients are often motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore family history and will collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.

St Augustine once wrote “People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.” Life asks a lot today. Our children need help with homework. Our jobs need us to produce more, our parents need us as age diminishes their abilities. After everything, one is left to wonder not at themselves, but at where all the time went?

As adults, we sometimes forget how tough it is to be a kid. Always being told what, when, and how to do things. The pursuit of autonomy can be a time of great frustration, while the pressures of school, social life, and planning for the future can sometimes feel insurmountable. My adolescent experience was no different. My way of coping was to set a rigid trajectory that left no room for self-exploration. This led me down the path to a career I did not enjoy. It was throughout the course of my own therapy that I learned the flexibility of the mind to acknowledge what wasn’t working and to give myself permission to change.

“Shame dies when stories are told in a safe environment”. I believe that building a safe and genuine relationship with clients is essential in facilitating healing. Relating to others in an empathetic and genuine way has always been my nature, and I bring these to my counseling sessions. I believe that when we help our clients recognize their own strength and resiliency, they discover a new potential within themselves. I feel a special connection working with clients who identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to help them work through their unique struggles.

All of us come up with ways to manage life's stresses. Each one of these strategies was born out of a need to protect ourselves - to survive. Yet sometimes, the methods we relied on to help us out of difficult situations end up being the very source of more difficulties. In fact, they keep us from living the life we want to live. I hope to build a safe space for you to explore new ways of coping that align with the values and goals of your authentic self.

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.
