Many of us experience challenging, unpleasant, or harmful experiences at some point in our lives, and for some of us, these experiences begin in childhood. Although these threats or conflicts may no longer exist, the experiences sometimes have a lasting impact on the way we view ourself, others, and the world around us. We may find ourselves thinking, feeling, and behaving in ways that are not useful and are preventing us from living the life we desire. I provide a safe space for people to tell their stories while supporting them to find their own purpose and path in life.

Most people can benefit from counseling at some point in their lives – regarding work, family, relationships, or specific life events. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional and/or relational issues. Frequently, they have endured traumas. Some of them are grieving losses. Some have managed to closely guard their painful pasts, until recent stressors overcame those barriers, and old feelings and thoughts have crept in. If this sounds like you, I can help.

I help people uncover what it is that makes life truly meaningful to them and to begin walking in the direction of those values despite the curve balls that life brings us. What if you could accept and allow yourself to feel what you feel, even if it’s negative? I believe that to be fully engaged in life requires contact with all emotions. With the support of a therapist, I walk along side you to find ways to build greater psychological flexibility so that you can participate in your life the way that you want to.

I have had a heart for families, youth, and my community since the start of my career. I have worked within the K-12 education system offering high levels of support for students and families. I also have worked with children and families who have experienced mental health crisis and trauma that needed intensive community support. One of my passions along with supporting children and families is supporting families of color. It is important that all youth and families I work with have a safe and open environment to express concerns, especially those dealing with depression, anxiety, and unhealthy patterns.

“There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet.” - Matt Haig. So very often, we find ourselves facing the word "should". Who I "should" be, where in life I "should" be, what I "should" be able to do. Whether you are just learning who you are for the first time, or are in a place of transition in your life, the process can be very difficult and can often leave us feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood, and in the need of support.

-TEMPORARILY NOT TAKING NEW PATIENTS- Life and relationships can be overwhelming. Oftentimes, in spite of our best efforts, we find ourselves ineffective with the tools we have. Identifying and understanding your underlying tendencies, which frequently stem from hurtful relationships, is foundational for making peace and moving forward with more effective tools. We want to love and be loved. Before we can do this, we need to be love-able, in other words- healthy enough to express and accept love while maintaining healthy boundaries.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”-Maya Angelou. It can be difficult taking the first step to seek out help when life seems unmanageable. However, it is often more difficult to work through the issues causing this disruption alone. Whether this is due to limited support in your life, or feeling that you have to take care of it yourself, you do not have to work through it alone.

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.
