If you are reading this you may have come to a point in your life where you are seeking more support and guidance. So much of life we go at it alone; never speaking up on behalf of our wants and needs. Therapy can change this. Our work together may begin by defining your goals in therapy and how we can achieve them together, but it will grow to include more excitement and a greater sense of well being for you.

Going through profiles, you may not be sure what you are looking for in a therapist. I offer clients a free consultation call to determine what they need from both therapy and their therapist in order to move forward in life. If I’m not a good fit, I’ll provide you with referrals accordingly.

I am an LCSW-R with over 10 years of experience in mental health. As a therapist, I understand the importance of creating a safe space for patients to explore their goals and feel supported. My goal is to support patients in recognizing their unique values and gifts as they pursue their dreams. During sessions, you can expect me to be caring, patient, and non-judgmental. Developing trust is an ongoing process, and I aim to provide continuous positive regard, and empathy.

“I came to explore the wreck. The words are purposes. The words are maps. I came to see the damage that was done
and the treasures that prevail…” (Diving into the Wreck by Adrienne Rich) -
It takes courage to dive into the inner sanctum - the vicissitudes of one’s mind. Optimally, therapy takes us on such a journey, helping us overcome problems in living and reduce suffering while promoting self-awareness, personal development and growth. My approach is collaborative and empathic, with an interpersonal and relational emphasis.

Is stress doing strange things to your body? Difficulties with family, work, and friends can make our eyes twitch, our jaws clench, and our stomachs ache for weeks on end. If we could...somehow...find the energy to pay attention to what's happening (in our bodies and in our lives), then we could learn what we need to feel better. The truth is, the thought of focusing on any sort of struggle can be scary. I can guide you through this. I'm a compassionate person who is deeply familiar with the mind-body connection, from both sides of the couch. My gift to you today is a wealth of knowledge and experience in suffering and healing.

I believe that therapy is an inherently paradoxical process. We want to feel better, but sometimes the only way to do so is through sadness, pain or anger. We go because we want to change, but it feels much safer to stay the same. We want to expand our comfort zone, but can do so only by traveling to uncomfortable places. I try to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be challenged and where you can stretch yourself sufficiently to achieve the lasting positive change you desire.

Imagine going through life being able to – emotionally, relationally, physically, truly – trust your gut. Therapy is an opportunity to learn how to do just that. My clients come from all walks of life, but they usually begin therapy with some version of the same core feeling: it’s all just too much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in daily life, navigating complicated relationships, wanting to heal your relationship with food or your body, or (re)discovering who you are – you're here because you need some support and you're daring to imagine that you deserve it. And you do!

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.
