As a therapist, and human in general, I am passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. I believe that to be seen, heard, and accepted in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. An important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties.

Different seasons of life can open doors to various experiences that we may find challenging, intimidating, painful, or unfulfilling. Past methods of coping with daily stressors, or our way of simply being in the world may no longer feel authentic or true to who we are. I work with clients to explore and identify patterns of thinking and behaviors that are unhelpful; confront discrepancies and limitations that prevent forward movement; enhance self-love and acceptance; and ultimately empower clients to create a life that is more meaningful, intentional, and fulfilling.

I believe that the root of therapy is about finding connection to self, others, and the world. As a therapist, I work to cultivate a space that will support you in feeling connected, witnessed, and heard. My approach to working with clients is relational, humanistic, creative, and nurturing yet direct. In our work together, we will explore what it means to be human and the suffering that comes with it, examine the narratives and beliefs you hold about yourself, delve into what brings meaning to your life, and reflect and process past wounds in an effort to move towards healing.

I love working to support folks building a container for reflection and exploration with the goal of a more regulated and grounded nervous system. This looks different depending on the individual, but mainly fall into three main categories: LGBTQIA teenagers moving through identity exploration, folks moving through significant traumatic events, and therapists/activists facing burnout. I also love working with white folks working with whiteness. I see therapy as a space to process, hold and move through the struggle of engaging with oppressive systems.

Every single person has seasons of struggle, phases of life where changes and stressors become too challenging to handle alone. Whether deep unresolved pain is coming to the surface once again and interfering with your day to day, or perhaps it’s a fight just to get through each day, regardless of where you are at in your own story, I believe we all need support and a little extra help to get through from time to time. I would be honored to walk with you through whatever you might be facing in the present moment.

To quote Søren Kierkegaard, "The most common form of despair is not being who you are." Perhaps you have found yourself painfully out of alignment with your values, feel stuck repeating the same patterns in your life even though you want to change, or are experiencing a stressful life circumstance or event that you can't seem to recover from on your own. It could be that you need better coping skills, wish to better understand how to process your emotions or want to harness the power of your mind. Maybe you feel ready to transform and do the work of becoming who you really are but have no idea where to begin.

While I enjoy working with a variety of therapeutic approaches, I am primarily psychodynamic in orientation. This means that I believe that our early environment and experiences have a profound impact on our way of understanding and relating to the world. As adults, we may discover that we are unable to create the lives we want while being constrained by unhelpful beliefs, feelings, and behaviors stemming from our younger years. My work is also shaped by psychoanalytic and object relations theories, and attachment theory.

You've achieved incredible success, but beneath the surface, you feel unseen and unheard. The truth is, 75% of High Performers share a secret: moderate to severe trauma, including loss, poverty, or abuse. People see your wins, but not the struggle with the fear of failure, isolation, exhaustion, and the need to perform or else...who are you? Like you, I've had to work a lot on myself, alone. The unfortunate paradox is the more you know, the harder it is to find someone to truly help. I get that frustration. With my unique approach, you will feel empowered to cultivate healthy systems and make conscious choices towards healing.

I work with clients to process trauma, emotions, and life stressors; cope with and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and post-traumatic stress and expand their window of tolerance/what they are able to tolerate; rewire thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and thereby one’s environment to align with their authentic truth and desires; define and draw boundaries; and identify core beliefs. I love to help women create a life in alignment with their menstrual cycle (intentional scheduling, eating, intimacy, and socializing for optimal energy functioning), as well as help all people structure and deepen their spiritual path.

I'm passionate about supporting late teens and young adults (ages 16-35) who are processing where they come from, what they inadvertently picked up along the way, and what they want to intentionally set down or take with them. Some people call this deconstruction and reconstruction. It may involve processing relationship patterns, building self-compassion, grieving a loss, learning to set different boundaries, or re-examining a faith you once took for granted. I also have experience working with teens and young adults diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes to cope with a new diagnosis or move through feelings of burnout.

I meet couples where they are (in their challenges and their goals) and provide them with a purposeful and intentional therapy space. Together, we will begin (or continue) having the conversations (and exploration) needed to start growing and co-creating a more meaningful, and connected relationship.

Where does one begin their search for relief from a vague feeling of discomfort, the source of which is difficult to locate, or from emotional/physical pain that announces itself clearly and loudly, the source being well-known? Perhaps you've tried to think your way through the problem or to read self-help books, and neither have helped. You have the thought that if you reach out to someone, relief may follow as you move from isolation to connection and relationship. So you arrive here and I welcome your call. My therapy approach is collaborative and grounded in family systems, psychodynamic, and somatic-based interventions.

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.
