I'm a culturally informed therapist committed to helping people develop new approaches to difficulties so they leave therapy more at peace and connected. In addition to what brings them to therapy, many of the people I work with feel like they don’t quite belong. They worry about other people's judgements. They may believe that they are not as competent as the people around them. Or they question their ability to be a good partner, parent, or friend. Sometimes they just feel lonely. Therapy is a place where we can make sense of all these experiences and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and integrity.

You are realizing that you are tired of feeling exhausted, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, and "stuck". You may appear to have it all together, but on the inside, you’re constantly overthinking, worrying, and living in survival mode. Your days revolve around endless “To-Do” lists, “What ifs,” and “If onlys”. Rarely do you relax or feel truly present. Despite trying to feel better, be better, and do better, you can't seem to find the relief you are craving. Waiting for the circumstances around you to change so you can finally feel better has left you exhausted. You are tired of being tired and are ready for something different.

Brené Brown says that “sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” My clients are those who want to show up for themselves. They are often deeply-feeling, highly-sensitive people who have struggled to integrate all parts of themselves, but who are ready to experience the confidence that comes from owning painful chapters of their stories. My clients have often survived trauma and want to meet their past in a way that opens up freedom for their future. In other words, my clients are brave change-makers who haven’t yet fully realized that their sensitivity is perhaps their greatest superpower.

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. - C.S. Lewis. I am interested in how early attachment relationships impact how we see ourselves and relate to others. I believe our adult relationships reflect in part what we did or did not experience growing up. A safe therapeutic relationship creates space to unpack what is getting in our way, help us make sense of emotions and reactions, and learn skills and strategies to bring more peace and stability into our lives.

I love helping folks connect with their deepest selves. What is possible when we're able to reclaim our centers, our inner compasses, and our senses of inherent wholeness? As a somatic therapist, I help clients settle their nervous systems to facilitate an embodied rediscovery of a sense of ground, wholeness, and inherent goodness that can be practiced and returned to, even in the face of stress and difficulty.

Therapy is an opportunity to engage in a healing relationship unlike most others. The focus is on you: your feelings, your thoughts, your strengths, and insecurities. My job is to support you as you work your way toward understanding, accepting, and growing into yourself. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, perceptions, and beliefs about oneself and others, understanding how and why self-defeating or painful patterns of living have developed, and discovering how to modify them. I am committed to helping you discover and speak the truth of your experience, including parts of you that may have been left unspoken and unlived.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, relationships, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied truth. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.

What happened? Do you understand your true self? Have you discovered how to live life on life's terms in a meaningful way? These are the central focuses of my practice. While I'm a psychiatrist with extensive clinical experience, I consider myself - first and foremost - a therapist who simply has more tools at his disposal as a physician. I always seek to provide holistic care. That is, I work to see and treat the whole you, not just the constellation of symptoms you have. As such, my approach shuns the conventional practice of overemphasizing diagnostic labels and medications. Life - with you in it - is more complicated than that.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode, you're not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. There’s nothing to fix, but there’s a lot to understand. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are ready for change, even if they aren’t sure what that change looks like yet. Together, we’ll unlearn the belief that something is “wrong” with you and replace it with the truth: you are a human, and your nervous system is responding in ways that make sense based on your unique journey.

There are times in our lives when we feel lost, trapped or unable to find peace in our daily routine. We try to cope and find solace, but may end up feeling more defeated. While it may feel impossible, I believe we all have immense strength and resilience to find our way. In order to find that inner strength, I believe it is essential to discover what is causing the symptoms. Through this uncovering, we can start our journey of healing and growth. I facilitate awareness and deeper understanding to the what and why these thoughts are all consuming. At your own pace, I offer space to challenge patterns that no longer serve you.

My approach with couples starts with a place of compassion, non-judgement, non-bias and inviting an exploration into the systemic aspects of their relationship. I find it is important to have couples dive deeper into the history and foundation of their relationship. From there, it becomes a process of peeling back the layers to uncover values, love language, goals and finding solutions for deeper ways of reconnection. A deeper focus for couples is to explore times in their lives when they are feeling lost, trapped, or unable to find peace in their lives. While it may feel impossible, I believe all people have immense strength.

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.
