I specialize in gender and sexuality, with over 7 years experience serving my LGBTQIA+ community. I feel strongly that shared experience helps people feel safe and seen in the therapy room. Using a relational approach, I believe that majority of therapeutic healing happens with human connection. This means I show up as human with my clients. You can expect accountability as well as empathy. I engage in the therapy conversation to allow reflection of your emotions. My specialization in queer matters is combined with treatment of complex trauma, mood, and personality disorders.

I use a conversational therapy where the patient and therapist collaborate together to find solutions. I believe the patient knows best where they want to go, and I as a therapist help to clarify how to get there. It is my belief that though in a given moment there may be overwhelming, confused or just frustrated feelings, the human spirit and personal resources provide the tools to find meaning and growth.

You have tried the discipline, the goal setting, the "fake it til you make it," the busyness, the books, the podcasts, the rigidity, the perfection, the formulas, the positivity, and yet you still feel stuck and without hope. ‘Is this really what life is going to be like forever?” you ask quietly to yourself. Dear soul, it is time to return home. To learn to breath, rest, and attune all in the safety of your own body. Together we will make room for the thinking, feeling, and sensing body to emerge. It's time to plant roots in the goodness of your body, your "youness" and the wisdom already blooming within you.

Welcome! Taking that first step to seek out help can be challenging, and I'm glad you are starting that journey. I work with adults, children, and teens who are looking for a place to explore how they can show up more authentically in the world. That might mean we work together toward you healing from past hurts or trauma, becoming more self-accepting, exploring past or new identities, finding ways to move through depression/anxiety, parenting more confidently, or helping your child access their full potential.

Do you feel powerless and struggle in your relationships? Do you live in a cycle of worry and regret? I believe the goal of therapy is never to eliminate parts of ourselves, but rather to create relationships with the parts that scare us the most. My therapeutic approach assists clients with intimacy and shifts the extreme roles their parts play in their lives. I believe intimacy within ourselves makes space for compassion, power, courage, clarity, and choice. The ultimate result I hope my clients to achieve is to live a peaceful life with intention and purpose.

"I don't want to do these unhealthy things, but I just feel like I can't stop." Sound like something you have thought or said lately? If we don't process why we are doing the behaviors that cause us pain, we will just keep doing it. If we don't trace back where our abusive internal dialogue came from, we continue those thoughts. Are you tired? I can help.

Calling all resilient GenZ & Millennials who carry the heavy burden of unresolved trauma & are so ready to lighten the load. Does your life look normal on the outside but, on the inside you feel constant anxiety, crushing perfectionism, and you’re always overthinking or going to the worst case scenario? How about that mean loud voice in your head constantly hurling insults & reminding you of all your faults. Here are some other things you hate: being vulnerable, disappointing others, and putting yourself first. Not to mention the self-doubt, always questioning your decisions, and having the hardest time trusting yourself.

I have been working with Young Adults (age 18 and older), predominantly female or gender queer, for about 19 years now and I love it. My goal in therapy is to help you get through the difficulties life brings your way. By providing a nurturing, comfortable environment, it allows you to relax and trust me and the counseling process. My positive, strength-building style of counseling means that I listen to you, understand what you are going through, see the strengths and positive parts, and set goals for what is not working. We will work together to figure it out.

If I had to describe the core tenants of how I work it would be: we are all doing our best AND we all have hidden resources that can help us heal and make changes we choose to make. The resources can be blocked by traumatic events that have happened in our lives, hurt and loss, and never learning the skills we need to grow or getting the support we need to do so. I can provide a safe and supportive space to help you access your core sense of self and build the kind of life that feels meaningful.

We all have pain, stress, and disappointments to work through - big things and small. When left unaddressed, they show up as anxiety, grief, anger, perfectionism or depression, limiting our ability to be at peace with ourselves and in our relationships. Maybe something in your life doesn't feel right, and has become too much to bear by yourself. You want to step into new ways of being in the world, free from the shame, fear and pain you have been carrying for so long. Taking the first step towards getting the help you need can feel incredibly vulnerable, and I promise to honor the strength it took to get here.

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.
