I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, families, and children who are seeking healing and restoration. Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, difficult family circumstances, trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, or other concerns, it would be my pleasure to walk with you in your journey. There is no circumstance to small to seek out professional help.

Relationships are at the core of almost everything we do - building romance, sharing quality time with friends, creating a professional network among colleagues, enjoying our family, supporting our community, and most importantly is the relationship with ourselves. Sometimes these relationships come easily and are fulfilling, while at other times they can make our life more challenging and stressful. Whether you’re looking for help with one of these relationships specifically, or simply need a hand during a difficult time, I am here to support you.

Counseling is a wonderful step toward desired change, and it can also be a bit daunting at first. That's why I take time to form the therapeutic relationship at a pace that is comfortable for you. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other various presenting problems. I am especially passionate about helping clients with relationship issues. We often engage in patterns that leave us feeling isolated or frustrated in our relationships. Learning new ways to tune into ourselves and our partner can help ease feelings of distress and improve connectedness.

Hey there! I could tell you how much I love to be in nature, drink coffee, and play with my dogs, and while those things are wholeheartedly true, they don’t tell you anything about who I am as a human or as a therapist. I’m not a “rainbows and unicorns” person. I don’t believe in spending money, time, and energy for me to tell you what you want to hear. I’m not fancy or quiet or scared to tell you what I’m thinking. I’m a real human whose been through real shit.

Life is too short to just wait for things to get better. When you’re experiencing anxiety or depression, it feels isolating, defeating, sometimes even shameful. It’s so exhausting and what worked in the past for you isn’t working anymore. Regardless if you've experienced a job loss or retirement, a new marriage or recent divorce, a complicated mid-life crisis, or addiction to social media or gaming. Whatever the reason, you know you need things to change, and you need them to change NOW. You can achieve a sense of well being, direction, and happiness. Don't wait any longer...the help, support, and tools you need are available here.

I have worked with a variety of different clients with unique and diverse walks of life. I became a counselor because I believe in people's ability to grow, learn and heal. I am here to help guide and facilitate that growth, to meet you where you are to help you heal, learn and grow. I provide a space of non-judgment, that is safe to walk on your path of discovery and recovery. Life can be a difficult journey at times and for different reasons, but it helps to have someone walk along side you as you persevere through these trials. I believe in hope, that even in our darkest of days, hope is on the horizon.

We all have a story that deserves to be delighted in and held with compassion and gentleness. Your story might include hopelessness, grief, trauma, abuse, or shame. It might be a story of anxiety, confusion, guilt, or disappointment. My goal is to supply a path toward growth and healing. I believe people deserve to be met right where they are, amid the pain and chaos, and choose to view each individual uniquely.

I believe sometimes all we need is for someone to listen to us without judging to help find answers. In my office, the client is completely involved in determining the course of therapy. You can expect an initial session to be of gathering personal history, health history, and family of origin history. We will work together to see if we can begin to identify the problem and what you might want to do about the problem. We try to establish how we will know when this has been accomplished, how often to meet, as well as any arrangements for payment.

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.
