I don’t yet know the details of your story, or the particularities of the burdens you carry. What I do know is that grief, harm, and loss were never meant to be carried alone, and that witnessing these stories in my clients is the honor of my life. Our sessions will be marked with laughter and tears, curiosity and exploration, and an intimacy that arises when the stories of our lives are allowed to come out of hiding and be truly seen. In the places you may have turned on yourself, I aim to hold a mirror up to your inherent goodness.

Hi and welcome. I am currently only accepting private pay clients at this time. If you feel like we might be a good fit, please give me a call. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. I meet people exactly where they are and do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Working with individuals and/or couples on this sometimes confusing yet beautiful journey we call life is a privilege. I am committed to helping recognize patterns and behaviors that may no longer be helpful. I take a very holistic approach to mental health and wellness. I look at the whole person by addressing emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs.

Welcome! Bienvenidos! Finding the right therapist can be a process. I would be a good fit if you are looking for a therapist who is highly compassionate and caring, sometimes maybe a little bit funny, while also gently challenging you as we move towards your goals together. I have a lot of experience working with individual survivors of trauma, helping them move through trauma's impacts to reclaim their lives. I am trained in various theoretical modalities including IFS and EMDR, but I also know that sometimes people just need a safe place to talk and process life. Ingles es mi primer idioma, pero también ofresco terapia en español.

Taking your own life into your hands, doing the hard work, the painful work, is a journey that few travel but none regret. I have gone through a divorce, experienced the wilderness of what healthy masculinity is, and I know the feeling of not being good enough and disappointing myself and others. This cannot be found without help, vulnerability, guidance, and honesty with yourself and what you truly want. My passion is to help people live up to their potential and to find a fulfilling relationship, life as a man, and to find healing in community. I will meet you where you are at with compassion, patience, understanding, and honesty.

“Embracing new paths feels like trying to walk through a fog; every step is uncertain.” “Adjusting to new realities feels like trying to rebuild a house on shifting sands.” “My mind often seeks refuge in old habits, even when they only offer temporary solace.” “I often find myself reaching for distractions, trying to numb the pain rather than heal it.” “When our inner turmoil overwhelms us, we might need to ask: whose expectations are shaping my self-worth?” Having encountered similar situations throughout my career, I am apt to offer assistance if you find yourself identifying with any of these scenarios.

People often pursue therapy when they feel stuck— typical coping strategies are no longer working, relationships are dissatisfying or strained, trauma from the past continues to take a toll. As a licensed psychologist, it is my privilege to collaborate with clients to figure out better ways to live. In addition to the powerful experience of being in a therapeutic relationship, the process of making meaningful changes in your life may involve developing insight into yourself and the patterns that are keeping you stuck, learning new skills, and/or tapping into the wisdom and strengths you already possess.

My ideal client is someone who is open to working to understand themselves, their world, and their place in it differently. Often times, throughout life, we feel as though there are ways that we "should" or "need to" think, act, feel, and believe. My ideal clients are folks who are willing to look inward to examine these ideas, and whether or not they fit the life they actually want to live. For people who feel out of place in their own lives I hope to be a person that helps them to make sense of things and make the tweaks necessary to enjoy a different measure of fulfillment in life.

Gifted students tend to set high expectations and standards for themselves; are perfectionistic and become profoundly disappointed, stressed, and hopeless if they feel they have failed to measure up to their expectations. Gifted individuals are intense and sensitive. Some may view these "big emotions" as illogical, scary, and risky. They need support in balancing their interpersonal and emotional self with their intellectual and logical self. Through setting goals that are realistic and healthy, educating gifted about their overexcitabilities, introducing healthy coping strategies, and self-soothing tools prove very impactful.

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.

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.
