Will power and determination sometimes aren’t enough. That’s because we all have an unconscious, emotionally reactive brain that can sometimes sabotage us. These are the roots of why human beings can get stuck in their journeys, and why we struggle to embody the changes we know we “should” be making. I utilize EMDR and other neurobiological/cognitive strategies to help transform and reorient subconscious parts toward becoming inner allies for our higher selves. I am honored to be a gatekeeper for these powerful tools and I am ready to share! I can meet you where you are at, with multiple practice locations and Telehealth options

I'm interested in helping individuals, couples, marriages, and families improve their relationships and quality of life. My background in teaching also makes me especially suited for working with children using sand play, games, and art in addition to traditional talk therapy. I'm trained in systems therapy, which means I view problems and solutions holistically to include the entire family and their natural home, work, and school environments. Therapy can provide a space that fosters the natural healing process within each of us and I enjoy supporting people on this journey.

Therapy is not just for individuals with trauma, chronic mental health, or substance use difficulties. The side effects of stress/mental health fatigue can manifest itself in many different ways (poor sleep, isolation, irritability, withdrawing from interests, brain fog). Clients may not know what their initial goals are but this is something we can work on together. Stuck in not knowing what you want out of therapy? Thorough intakes allow us to identify potential problem areas and develop a plan to address whatever is most important to you.

Couples commonly struggle with one or more core areas: unproductive conflict, damaged trust, and emotional drift apart. Unproductive conflict can lead to significant problems just 4-7 years into the marriage. Drifting apart takes longer, often reaching a crisis point as the children start heading to college. And ruptures in trust can occur at any time in the life of a relationship. Most couples seek counseling because they are experiencing resentment, distance, or emotional pain because of conflict,

Clients seek my help to navigate the struggles and difficulties that often revolve around intimacy/sexuality, family conflict, and personal identity. Those who desire to repair conflicts, reduce problematic (sexual, spiritual, emotional) patterns, establish healthier relationships, or heal trauma interfering with the present will align well. I earned my PhD in Clinical Sexology. This allowed me to professionally expand my practice from relational to deeply personal as sexuality impacts so much. Clients find this work highly valuable.

To outsiders, your life seems great. You're capable, reliable, and driven. However, inside, you never feel good enough, and your inner critic points out every fault. You've kept up this act for years, but it's taking a toll, leaving you exhausted, and you know you can't continue living like this. You’re tired of prioritizing others over yourself. It's time for 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.
