I specialize in helping men and women overcome debilitating anxiety, depression, and developmental trauma. I also work with individuals struggling with infertility, feeling secure during pregnancy and postpartum, and working through the challenges that come up with parenting. I'm interested in coming to know you, your hopes and dreams, and the obstacles that keep getting in the way. I believe in the innate capacity to heal and the growth that comes from exploring what hurts in a caring relationship.

Just like every client is different, every therapist is different, and it's important to find someone who you like working with. We could be a good fit if it's important to you that you can talk to your therapist about anything and not feel judged. We might be a good match if you are someone who is willing to try new things, as a lot of therapy is thinking about things in a different way. Also we might be a good match if you enjoy humor in your sessions. Therapy shouldn't be all miserable. I aim for 25% miserable, tops.

Being human was already challenging; the last few years have made it harder. Our old ways of coping may no longer work for us as we face old patterns and navigate new challenges. We are ready for less stress and more happiness, but aren't sure how to get there. I will support you to identify, explore, and remove obstacles to your wellbeing, unleashing your innate capacity for healing, resilience, and joy. I will not only guide you to awareness of yourself and others through a safe, supportive therapeutic alliance, but also offer you practical mindfulness tools, where appropriate to your understanding both in and out of session.

"Serenity is what we get when we quit hoping for a better past." -Unknown. Everyone deserves a space to heal. Together, we will create that space for you. Whether you are struggling with depression, grief, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, addiction, relationship/family issues, religious trauma or gender/sexuality issues, I believe that you are capable of growing into who you want to be.

I specialize developing a relational space in which self discovery and inner growth can emerge. Less about the functional and directive, this is an emotive, aspirationally impactful approach, based in the long history of the depth/soul work psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have fostered. Therapy is a process, non-linear and creative at times. In that formational space, I am committed to mutual impact, a reflective disposition and the on-going therapeutic process which I earnestly believe can be transformative.

*Please note: I am currently full and not able to take any new clients at this time.* I work with individuals who are going through transitions, or who have become unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of their lives. I believe that people are doing the best they can, but that we get stuck in old ways of relating to ourselves and others that hold us back from having the life and relationships that we want. Some of my specialties include working with anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, and people who identify as LGBTQIA and/or BIPOC.

Times are hard, and balancing all that life brings is no easy task; no matter your stage of life, we often feel disconnected and unheard. My practice centers LGBTQIA+ folks and those looking for greater connection and a way to live more authentically. Breaking old patterns, adding new skills, and seeing challenges from a new perspective can be transformative. I have worked with a wide range of client needs, including gender and sexuality exploration, communication skills, anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges.

I've lived in the PNW for 25 years via Miami and originally, from New York City. I received a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked as a professional photographer. In Seattle, I worked for Microsoft and lead self-actualization seminars before earning a Masters in Existential Psychology from Seattle University, I practice Existential Integrative therapy and also study mindfulness and eastern philosophy. I'm interested in the ways these converge, how people construct meaning and how it relates to their as-lived experience; and how clients use this capacity to generate self-awareness and walk a new pathway forward.

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.
