Success does not always protect us from stress, anxiety, burnout, or feeling overwhelmed. Many high-achieving individuals, professionals, leaders, & those who carry significant responsibilities find themselves exhausted, disconnected, or struggling to keep up. As a clinical psychologist & neuropsychologist with over 12 years of experience, I understand that people who appear strong & capable on the outside may be facing significant challenges internally. I strive to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, & reconnect with what matters most.

One of the most common challenges we face is reaching out for help. Too often we suppress or deny our emotions and traumas, believing that they are not valid or worth acknowledging. This denial of validation can cause many adverse symptoms such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, poor perception of self and relationship or self-destruction. It is my belief that therapy is a great step towards healing these symptoms and helps create an atmosphere where understanding, change and growth are possible.

Working with people who need and want to change has been a great career. I get to work with brave individuals and couples who choose to face the need for healthy change. Wanting to be different does not make it happen, you have to work at it. Clients come to therapy for many different reasons, but it all comes down to wanting to feel better, to be better and to be happier. Being emotionally well takes work. That's the work of therapy. It takes courage and time to work on ourselves. Finding a therapist to help with that is important. Understanding the person and knowing how to best meet their needs is critical in therapy.

My ideal clients are individuals in Florida, Utah, Washington, or Massachusetts, struggling with OCD and anxiety disorders who feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts, overthinking, reassurance seeking, or avoidance. Many worry about worst-case scenarios, feel stuck needing certainty, or spend hours trying to make things feel “just right.” These patterns can affect relationships, work, school, and daily life. I help clients break these cycles using evidence-based treatment, building skills to tolerate uncertainty, face fears gradually, and regain confidence so anxiety no longer controls their choices.

Something has shifted, or been building for a long time — and you're ready to do something about it. Not just cope better. Actually change. Maybe it's anxiety that lives in your body and won't quiet down. Maybe it's a pattern in your relationships — giving too much, saying yes when you mean no, feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. Maybe something happened, and you've been managing around it ever since. I work with adults in Florida who are ready to go deeper — using EMDR, somatic therapy, and body-based approaches to reach what talk therapy often can't. I offer a warm, honest space where real work happens at your pace.

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.
