If you are a woman experiencing relationship difficulties, loneliness, or a new life transition (e.g. graduating, marriage, break-up), we may be a great fit! I also specialize in working with caregivers of children with mental health disorders or physical disabilities. Through our sessions, you may find yourself smiling and laughing to cursing and crying (and if no tears are shed, we will be sure to explore why!). I will empathically and gently challenge you to help you reach your full potential. I aim to provide a space that allows for deep connection, vulnerability and even humor to effect change.

I work with clients of all ages. Adult clients come to me for a variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship issues, and parenting questions. Loss and grief are often the root of these issues. I believe we need to change the conversation around grief. I am a spiritual person who welcomes clients interested in incorporating spirituality into their sessions.

My practice focuses on fertility / pregnancy / postpartum (incl. new dads & LGBTQ families), grief (more specifically early mother loss, and pregnancy loss), and relationship issues. Throughout our lives, we're constantly relating to one another, and building new experiences from these relationships. Unfortunately, relationships can also often feel unfulfilling, or make us feel neglected somehow. They can bring on feelings of loss and disconnection. Then, life in general starts to feel unfulfilling. This can be changed. Psychotherapy, where the fit between patient / therapist is right, can be an immensely powerful tool.

Hi and thanks for taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. My approach to therapy is very relational and experiential. I believe that healing and transformation can happen only in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. I hope I can make it as easy as possible for you and look forward to talking further to see if we're a good therapy match.

I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey, whereby we have the opportunity to heal and create lasting change in our perspectives and behaviors. We all develop patterns and ways of coping with life that may have served us at one point in time and may no longer be beneficial to us today. It’s common to find ourselves stuck in familiar thought-loops or relationship dynamics that are no longer working in our favor. Through uncovering the origin of these themes, we can build compassion for ourselves, which helps set the foundation for meaningful change.

My approach focuses on helping you use awareness so you can feel more in control. It's not uncommon to have periods when our emotions feel overwhelming or our thoughts won't slow down and then we feel stuck. I help people learn strategies to reduce in-the-moment intensity and to become curious about these patterns of feelings and thoughts. Doing this will allow you to understand them more. Oftentimes these patterns are attempts to try and soothe something or help us in some way. By understanding them, we can develop other methods to meet those same needs as you move forward in your journey toward healing.

Life is not easy and an outlet can make all the difference in creating a better version of yourself. There is no shame in looking inwards and seeing what your fears or sorrows are. I take pride in providing a safe space where one can open up and talk about their feelings and life experiences. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present -Lao Tzu"

Thinking about seeking a therapist can be a difficult process. It takes a lot of courage to face ones' struggles and even more to actually deal with them. In my practice I try to provide a safe, non-judgmental and trusting environment. My experience tells me that most life struggles have to do with the behaviors that contribute to how we stop ourselves in the world from getting what we want. If we don't understand the "how" we are most likely to repeat the very behaviors we want to rid ourselves of. Therapy can be vital in helping us to be more aware.

For a long time, you have tried to "hold it together." Perhaps, you may have prided yourself in your ability to power through challenging circumstances with little support. However, you have reached your limit and the stress has taken its toll. You have been struggling to hold things together yourself but, you know you can no longer do this alone. You may wonder, where can I go? Who can I trust? Where can I lay down my armor, if but for a moment, to just breathe, recalibrate, and to refocus. I know I need to prioritize myself but, I am not quite sure how. Is therapy right for me?

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.
