We all find ourselves in places in our lives where we ask how we arrived to where we are. It can be confusing, disorienting, and overwhelming. Sometimes being able to shift focus and try a new approach can be helpful. My hope is to have the privilege to walk along side you as you consider change, embrace exploration, and solidify your internal foundation. Adolescents and children face difficulties that can become behavioral challenges for parents and the family system. Changes from loss, family additions, and divorce can also be unsettling. Knowing how to navigate through those challenges sometimes requires outside support.

You work hard to make sure everyone around you is taken care of. You have set aside your own goals, hopes, and dreams and prioritized others. At this point, you may not know what you want and need anymore. You may even feel resentful toward people you’re caring for because you have no time or energy left for you. As an individual and couples therapist, I have supported many people through this journey of rediscovering joy and meaning in their lives and relationships.

I am passionate about working with young adults experiencing life transitions. There are many new challenges to be faced as we enter adulthood. Life can often feel stressful, overwhelming, and even hopeless at times. I believe that having a safe, nonjudgmental, culturally sensitive space to process these stressors can be a truly transformative experience. I work alongside my clients to help deepen their self-understanding so that they may feel empowered to create the positive changes that they want to see in their life.

Life is about connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. Unfortunately, not all of us were raised in ways that makes it easy to make those connections, leaving us feeling distant, numb, anxious, confused, or frustrated. Therapy provides the space for you to say what you really think and feel, in confidence, and without the fear of judgment. It’s the holding of this space, and the development of different life-skills that allows us to build the connections you're looking for in your life.

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.

It's easy to become paralyzed by the sheer volume of new information that is thrown at us on a daily basis. They say "knowledge is power", but we live in the information age and a lot of us feel more powerless than ever. That doesn't even touch on the fact that it seems like the content of that information stream gets more bleak by the day. What is there to do? And simultaneously, what's the point of doing anything?

I'm a nurse practitioner turned empowerment coach. I worked in primary care for over 10 years only to find the system was failing those that really wanted to make changes to their life, physical and mental health. I started coaching to take a new perspective on healing. I believe that we are all human and cannot be confined to a diagnosis. I believe we don't need to be fixed but just need to be held in a compassionate, non judgmental light in order to see our higher potential. I am here to help you along life's journey and achieve your goals to live a happier and full life.

Sometimes we know we feel bad, but we’re not even sure which emotions we’re feeling. Other times, we’re unhappy with the way things are but don’t know what to change. In therapy, we would form a collaborative partnership where I would help you put words to what you’re feeling, gain insight into yourself, and make positive changes.

Sometimes we struggle to express what we need or want out of life. Other times we may feel that we are not living up to expectations. We can get stuck in a loop of our negative thoughts and fears. Building a trusting relationship with a counselor can help you step out of these patterns and bring meaning to your struggles. I really want to know what it’s like to be you; not only your inner life but also how you belong in the world around you. Together we will explore the things that are important to you and move toward the change that you are looking for.

You're independent, driven, and you don't often ask for help. You like to tackle your problems head-on, but you don't know how to fix this problem. You've always been your own harshest critic, and that has helped you succeed in the past, but now that voice has turned on you and is tearing you down. On the outside, everything looks fine, but on the inside you're drowning. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to control your feelings. You don't know how to make this better.

My role is to be a lighthouse. I am here to help you through the storm. Lighthouses do not judge why the storm is happening, instead, they are a beacon to help find the way through the roaring waves. I can’t steer the boat for you, but I can shine some light. Healing through therapy is one of collaboration, communication, and trust. Healing is an individual process, and it is not a linear one. A hard day does not mean failure. My hope is together, and we can discover tools that help the hard days have less of an impact. I believe you are the expert in your own story.

My style is highly engaged and interactive. I will provide a safe/caring environment, focusing on your strengths as well as your areas of pain and distress.

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.
