When you are faced with trauma, loss, relationship problems, or other life challenges, it is easy to isolate yourself, blame yourself for what you are experiencing, and to believe that things will never get better. As your therapist, I will be your partner on your journey to healing. I will hold hope for you when all hope seems lost, and help you rebuild your optimism through recognizing your strengths and resilience.

"The most common form of despair is not being who you are." -Kierkegaard. My office is a safe place to remove roadblocks to 'who you are', recognize and honor your strengths, then make them public. As you start living life through this authentic self, you may find friends, family or coworkers uncomfortable dealing with your new, personal power; therefore, I'll teach you skills to mange them, until they come to realize . . . just who you are!

I work from a collaborative and strengths-based approach to help individuals reduce their suffering and reconnect with their values. I treat a variety of problems including addictions, anxiety/trauma, & depression. I also work with family members of loved ones with addiction and teach family members practical and empowering skills to help their addicted loved ones and themselves. I use evidence-based treatments and draw heavily from cognitive-behavioral treatments, particularly newer cognitive-behavioral therapies such as Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.

I work with individuals, couples, parents, and families from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about helping clients decrease emotional distress in their lives in order to restore purpose and connection. I believe change is possible when people feel safe to explore their values, hopes, dreams, commitments, and purpose, as well as their disappointments and hurts. I aim to help clients "slow down," encouraging reflection and insight, and the development of healthy coping strategies to create sustainable change. My stance is curious and flexible reflecting my belief that clients are the experts on their lives.

I have 36 years of experience and specialize in helping individuals suffering with depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder and chronic pain. I enjoy teaching mindfulness and acceptance techniques and find them to be a good adjunct to cognitive behavioral therapy and psychotherapy. I believe our true nature is comprised of awareness and compassion. In therapy we learn to direct this compassionate awareness towards ourselves. Instead of standing apart from ourselves and pushing ourselves to be better or different, the goal of therapy is to make friends with who we already are.

OOO Something Shiny! All of my clients with undiagnosed Adult ADHD start out with the same frustration. Why is it that I know what I need to do, but can't do anything differently? They describe having all of these goals and dreams and starting to reach them but eventually getting discouraged and stopping. Once they stop, just thinking about starting up again is so overwhelming that they end up not doing anything at all. Deadlines go by, bills don't get paid, and relationships get ruined. And it leads them all to the same question. What is wrong with me? What if I told you that it might be ADHD and Unresolved Childhood Trauma?

I seek to provide a therapeutic relationship with children and youth in a healing space that invites self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self- mastery through play and creative expression. When helping and healing children and youth I believe that lasting change comes from a family systems perspective. The family is the child’s support system and when the family’s needs are considered then the child’s needs will be met more effectively. My hope is to help families communicate better within barriers and to develop solutions that honor the unique strengths of the family.

My goal is to help my clients live in a way that more fully aligns with their values and desires. While I have a general practice, I have a particular interest in working with people dealing with anxiety and depression, those recovering from trauma, and people working to strengthen their relationships with others, including those in queer, open and poly relationships. I am drawn to clients who are committed to personal growth and who are working to deepen their experience of life. I truly believe that we all have the capacity to lead fuller lives with more ease and a deeper sense of safety.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.

I work with folks experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and dual diagnoses. Mental illness can be an alienating experience, despite how common it is. I hope to help clients work on improving their mood, anxiety levels, and wellbeing through a variety of modalities, collaborating to find what works best for them. My client's goals can be as diverse as wanting to increase or decrease a specific behavior, manage symptoms of an ongoing mental illness, or have a professional they can process their current feelings with in a productive manner.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 United States, 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.
