Therapy can be very difficult, but I believe in its importance because it gives us the chance to see ourselves, our relationships, and the world in a different way. Therapy also helps us build the skills necessary to achieve our goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal oriented, and focused on building a strong therapeutic relationship that creates and environment of trust and respect that allows us to grow and solve problems together. Challenges always look the most difficult when you are facing them alone and I want to be there to help you when you’re facing your biggest challenges. 

I help adults with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, adjustment issues, insomnia, ADHD, grief and loss, perfectionism, self-esteem, relationship struggles, panic, social anxiety, obsessive and compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma. Furthermore, I am passionate about helping improve mental health access in the community. Prior to making my career switch to counseling I was a teacher so I have unique experience to offer teachers as well as any other adult who is considering or in the midst of a career transition. 

The therapeutic modalities that I utilize in my practice are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Person-Centered Therapy.

In my personal life some things I find very meaningful and bring me joy are hiking, playing sports like basketball and kickball, going to concerts, cooking, and watching films. I love to hear about new shows, movies, artists, or hiking spots to check out. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I am under the supervision of Dr. Megan McKnight.

I currently offer sessions at a reduced fee of $100 per session and have availability for in-person and online sessions weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays. I am also in-network with Aetna and Cigna.

I believe in living a mindful and intentional life, making choices that are meaningful and healthy, while maintaining awareness of our own thoughts, feelings, and how we interact with others. We can sometimes experience difficulties in life when our physical state, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social factors all intersect in a way that negatively impacts our well-being. 

My goal is to help clients by understanding how certain factors may play a role in their development, health, processing, and conflict. Therapy can be most effective and beneficial when there is an approach that considers the whole person.

I am deeply passionate about helping individuals who experience chronic illness and/or pain, ADHD, anxiety, relationship challenges, attachment concerns, self-esteem, social anxiety, life transitions, stress, insomnia, disordered eating, perinatal concerns (pregnancy, postpartum), panic, PTSD, and depression. I also have a strong desire for helping caregivers and loved ones of individuals who suffer from health conditions and/or mental illness. I utilize techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Prior to my work as a therapist, I worked in the medical field as a pharmaceutical consultant and clinical educator. In my free time, I enjoy going to the mountains, skiing, golfing, and kayaking. I love watching documentaries and mysteries, collecting books, traveling, attempting a pescatarian lifestyle, visiting with my friends and family, and learning how to make exercise a lifelong habit.
