I offer informed therapy for people emerging or waking up from high demand groups and coercive relationships of all kinds. You will not spend months teaching your therapist about the way coercive groups promote isolation and fear. We can deal with the long-term effects of religious, cult or domestic violence indoctrination in how we think about the world and about ourselves.

Many people appear to be confident, when in reality they feel as though they can barely keep it together. Sometimes, the challenge may seem more than anyone can handle. If you inwardly feel overwhelmed or trapped in your life, counseling could help. People often get stuck in patterns that restrict growth or their ability to see new perspectives. Effective counseling can help you gain insight and control over obstacles that prevent you from living a full life. Therapy requires courage, an open mind, and a need to do more than survive; it requires a desire to thrive.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. It’s not about being “fixed.” It’s about having the space and support to grow, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and sort through what’s weighing on you. My style is collaborative and down-to-earth—I’m here to listen, offer perspective, and help you build tools that support real change.

Life is never a straight forward path. We encounter ups, downs, curveballs and all sorts of detours along the way. Sometimes we need support with those challenges, regardless of how big or small. This can be in the form of starting a new school, relationship problems, family discord, anxiety, depression or simply going through a new phase in life. Though we don't know what life will bring us, together we can work on how to better manage stressors, anxious thoughts, focus, repairing relationships and getting back on track to the life we want to have.

Whether it’s in anxiety that won’t quiet down, relationships that feel confusing, or the weight of old wounds that still linger. My ideal clients are individuals and couples who may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, but who also long for peace, clarity, and a stronger sense of connection. They want to feel more grounded, more confident in themselves and their relationships, and more capable of facing life’s challenges without carrying so much of the past on their shoulders. I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step toward change.

I work with people navigating hard seasons- when communication breaks down, trust feels shaky, doubts grow louder, and peace seems out of reach. Whether you're struggling in your relationship or sitting with profound loss, you're in the right place. Many of my clients are couples or families who care deeply about each other but feel stuck in painful patterns. My approach is collaborative and gentle. Rather than focusing on blame, we explore what's underneath the conflict- the unspoken needs, the protective reactions, the history that shapes how you show up.

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.
