Stress and trauma can have a profound impact on your daily wellbeing. Maybe reading the news sends your shoulders hunching up toward your ears and your fingers gripping the steering wheel. Maybe you struggle to say no to others, or feel stuck in life and unable to take action. Therapy can be one important part of learning how to process stress and trauma, so you feel more able to support yourself and intentionally respond (rather than react) to life's challenges.

Our days are filled with a lot and often we end up holding on to thoughts and feelings for later. What would it look like to take a moment and sort through some of those things? What is keeping you from that? Therapy is a place to safely explore those things that we are challenged with but do not know where to begin or feel like it is the right time.
I would be happy to connect over a quick consultation call for us to discuss if therapy may be a next step.

Sometimes things that happened to us when we were young still make it hard for us to feel safe in the world, or to trust others or even ourselves. You might feel that you are carrying around something from your past, and it's weighing you down. There's a saying: "It's not you, it's what happened to you." Are you looking for someone to help you process some of that old pain so you can stop worrying so much, and not be so hard on yourself? If you feel that childhood trauma, unhappy relationships, anxiety, grief, guilt, or shame are keeping you from fully enjoying your life, you will likely respond well to a depth-psychology approach.

I'm currently accepting new clients in person and online.
In my approach to counseling, I listen attentively and non-judgmentally. I focus on people’s stories and the stories the world tells about them. I value these narratives, and hold them during our work together so that we may reference them in the process of creating a story that feels more in line with my clients goals and purpose. I also work with clients in exploring ways to alleviate suffering, reduce stress and increase self empowerment and enjoyment of one's life. My approach is strengths based and I believe we each have all the answers we need within us, sometimes we just need help teasing them out or trusting them.

Utilizing the latest research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), ICS views addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disorder. We believe that addiction alters brain function critical to decision-making, learning, memory, and behavior control. With this in mind, we work with our clients to build a framework for understanding their compulsive and self-destructive behaviors and help them in creating a plan to prevent relapse from happening. Ultimately, we want our clients to build a positive sober identity and thrive in recovery.

I work with adults who are tired of just coping with anxiety or depression and want more than temporary symptom relief — they’re ready for meaningful, long-term change.
Most of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorder recovery, attachment wounds, perfectionism, low self-esteem, ADHD, PTSD and life transitions. My clients are often reflective and high-functioning individuals who may look “put together” on the outside, yet feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step on the inside.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
