Mental Health Care, Wherever You Are
Find Clarity with Psychotherapy
You deserve a safe and supportive environment to work through life's challenges. As a trained and licensed psychologist, I provide evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique goals. My expertise includes support for handling anxiety and stress, navigating life transitions, and managing medical issues.
Personalized Therapy to Meet Your Goals
Psychotherapy involves talking about whatever is on your mind or concerning you with a trained and licensed clinician. As a psychologist, I will listen carefully, look for patterns in your thinking and behavior, point out alternative interpretations of events or strategies for problem solving, and help you to learn to live with difficult emotions.
Combining the best research evidence, your values and preference, and my clinical expertise, we will work together over a series of sessions to address your concerns and help you build a life you value. After the initial consultation and assessment, we'll meet regularly to ensure you are receiving the support you need to make progress. With specific, measurable goals to guide our work, you'll learn proven strategies to practice between sessions.
Although specific treatment plans will be personalized based on individual client needs, most often therapy will be conducted through the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This evidence-based approach highlights being open to the range of emotions life has to offer, living the present moment, and taking action based on what is most important to you. ACT (said like the word, "act"), has been proven effective for a wide variety of concerns.

What Colleagues Say
Frequently Asked Questions
A psychologist and psychiatrist have different training. A psychologist earns a doctorate degree (Ph.D) from graduate school, while a psychiatrist earns a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.) from medical school. A clinical psychologist is someone whose graduate training makes them an expert in assessment and treatment of mental illness, while a psychiatrist's primary training is in medication management. Psychologists and psychiatrists often work collaboratively, as research shows us that a combination of therapy and medicine is often most effective.

Yes! Research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. Virtual sessions, called telehealth, can provide the same evidence-based treatment, collaborative relationship, and personalized care as traditional face-to-face therapy, while offering greater convenience and accessibility. You are not limited to options for therapy near you; you can get treatment from an expert in the field no matter where you live, right in the comfort of your own home. The best format for you depends on your needs and preferences, and together we can determine whether telehealth is right for you.
