Guided by feminist and relational therapeutic practices, I work with you to uncover why, where, and who you are at this moment. In this process, I pay particular attention to the complexities of identities, nuances of relationships, and experiences of oppression that shape us all. Through psychodynamic exploration and a liberatory framework, my ultimate goal as your counselor is to empower you to empower yourself. My therapeutic practice is rooted in the understanding that you are the expert of your own experiences. I am here for you as you are, and am prepared to approach your needs with collaboration, flexibility, and compassion.

It is my responsibility to provide an environment where my patients feel comfortable so that I can figure out what they need to get better and together we can understand what gets in the way. Patients who have been in therapy with other therapists often tell me that they find our work together to be more helpful. They find that I am a good listener and therefore I respond in ways that patients find meaningful.

The way I see it, our bodies serve as a living repository, holding our true self, our joy and happiness, our fears, and the pain and suffering we have endured. Oftentimes, our true self can be overwhelmed by the pain, suffering, and fears, creating a life that feels like we are just surviving. I believe therapy can help one transition from surviving to thriving and being their authentic self.

In today’s world, life can feel incredibly challenging and overwhelming. For one reason or another, we may feel depressed, anxious, lost or uncertain. Understanding these intense emotions, both their genesis and how they manifest themselves in our lives, can be daunting to navigate, especially on your own. Fortunately, you do not have to do it alone. I believe in a strong collaborative therapeutic process built on trust, acceptance and empathy.

You can achieve real change by solidifying your innate strengths and exploring the roots of whatever is causing you pain. In therapy, we will have a safe space to look at what's on your mind. There may be challenges as we rebuild your patterns to align better with your goals.

My goal is to promote brain health through a personalized, integrative approach tailored to your unique needs, brain, physiology, history, and life circumstances. Clients come to us understanding their challenges come from genetic and environmental factors, not character flaws, and recognize the brain's ability to be retrained. We work with adults and children facing cognitive issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, brain injury, stress, developmental issues, or those seeking peak performance.

My practice primarily focuses on individuals seeking treatment for issues of self-esteem, relationships or work problems. These problems can create feelings of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness. Normally, we all begin experiencing these feelings as children and as adults we may develop behavioral patterns which contribute to the perpetuation of low self-esteem. In therapy, we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why we do it, we can begin making the necessary changes for a successful future.

You’re here because you want something to shift. Maybe you’ve been in talk therapy for years, but you’re still struggling with the same triggers: the negative self-talk, the destructive behavior, the relationship conflicts. You can still feel the impact of past trauma in your body. I’ve spent the last decade studying the top evidence-based therapy for trauma because I know that talking is not always enough. Maybe you've heard about about somatic therapy, EMDR or IFS and are curious if they can help. Reach out and let’s discuss! I also love doing adjunctive EMDR therapy, if you'd like me to work with your current therapist.

Much of my work with clients involves understanding the feelings and situations with which they are struggling. Through my listening as well as my participation, my clients come to understand themselves and to realize their own capacity to make changes in their lives. A question I often think about, and share with my client, is “what is getting in the way, blocking my client from feeling relatively happy, and being the person they seek to be- in relationships, in work, in their lived lives?" These questions may not have immediate answers, but it is something my clients and I keep in mind from the beginning & work towards exploring.

Life today can create a chronic sense of overwhelm resulting from constant stimulation and expectations. It may feel difficult to keep up with the pressure to maintain productivity, composure, and a steady sense of self. The therapeutic space can serve as a place to explore these anxieties and release yourself from external pressures. Our symptoms can arise out of the conflict between what we feel we are expected to be vs. who we really are. I work with children, teens, and adults and I am dedicated to hearing my clients in way that can alleviate suffering and promote long-lasting change.

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.
