I help people who struggle with problems that they feel are impossible to change, understand, or even think about. I work well with individuals who are sensitive and creative, and need someone to help them understand what they've been through and how it impacts them in the here-and-now. In my experience, doing this kind of work with someone you trust offers the best hope for lasting change. I don't work well with people who want to be "fixed" without coming to know themselves better in the process.

I believe that people can - and do - change and everyone is the expert of their own life. Walking along side individuals/families in their journey, I draw on skills from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, and relational therapy to identify and expand upon strengths and goals; increase awareness of thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to better understand ourselves; and establish effective problem solving, conflict resolution, and communication skills. My primary objective is to work myself out of a job; reach out to find out more!

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that I combine different theories to best suit your individual needs (including client-centered, ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and solution-focused). An interpersonal process approach connects these different theories as a strong therapeutic relationship is most predictive of a positive outcome. I believe that if we can bring the problem into the room and experience it between us, we will have the best chance of working through it successfully. I will solicit feedback often to ensure that we are developing a strong connection and moving in the direct you want.

I see healing as the process of understanding the patterns that influence our perception of, and how we act within, the world that surrounds us. For many, these patterns might have been protective, at one point in time, though might not be serving our needs in the present. Therapy offers a space to feel seen, heard, and accepted. I believe that the individual is the expert on their life, and I trust their experience. I seek to follow the client while noticing my own curiosity that I have cultivated through schooling and experience working in the field of psychology.

My approach to therapeutic work comes out of radical love for humans and their healing. Therapy is a place to build strong relationships through authentic connection. When people are able to be fully seen as who they are, in their truth, we can start to think about changes and tap into our personal wisdom; our bodies, minds, and spirits have wisdom that I hope we will find in our work together. As a therapist, I show up as myself and hope to encourage my clients to show up as who they are and connect on that level. I approach my work aligned with my core values: connection, compassion, curiosity, creativity, and community.

Maybe you’re navigating the complexities of chronic illness or disability, feeling like your relationship to sex, intimacy, or your own body has shifted in ways that are hard to talk about. Maybe you’re neurodivergent and tired of trying to squeeze into systems not built with you in mind. Or maybe you’re carrying trauma, feeling like you’re “too much”—or not enough—and unsure where to even begin. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

I work with people individually, and in relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs or feel heard or seen. Because of how they or others were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Sometimes feelings and behaviors become obstacles to accessing your strength. If you don't accept yourself as you are, you can't change--a paradox, but true. Self-acceptance can be difficult, especially with history of abuse, trauma, or opression in which shame/guilt become integral to your sense of self. Destructive behavior, in whatever form, has its own logic, but is understandable given your history. We cope in ways that serve to protect ourselves in childhood--serving a useful purpose back then. But now, they prevent you from having stable, close relationships and feeling an empowered sense of self.

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.

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’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.
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.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
