If this is your first experience with counseling, taking this first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, even more so if you're struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, difficult family patterns, or relationship challenges. My first goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

Through my own counseling journey, I have learned just how important the therapeutic relationship is. The relationship I have with each client is unique, authentic, and sacred to me. I approach counseling with care, curiosity, presence, and a bit of humor. Our work together is not about fixing you. It is about understanding the internal patterns that once helped you survive/function. Instead of pushing these parts of you away, we will gently explore how they strive, protect, over-function, and carry the burden of past and present wounds. Through compassion and curiosity, we will create a space for something more sustainable.

If you are struggling with depression, you know it’s so much more than just sadness. My clients often describe feeling empty, weighed down, or disconnected from the world around them. Many struggle with motivation, finding it difficult to connect, or find joy in the things they used to. Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and a sense of being a burden often haunt individuals with depression. Some may feel numb, while others are overwhelmed by pain they can’t always explain. It can take so much effort to hold things together or even to ask for help. Depression is isolating, but this journey is not something you have to do alone.

Do you try to help your partner but feel like it’s never enough? Do you question your worth—wondering if you’re too much, not enough, or somehow broken? Emotional abuse can leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, and unsure of yourself. Even if you’re not certain what you experienced “counts,” your pain matters. Therapy can help you heal from trauma, rebuild self-trust, and set healthy boundaries. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, anger, relationship stress, and emotional abuse. Together, we’ll rebuild self-trust and create healthier boundaries so you can heal without blame and reclaim your voice.

Do you struggle with intense emotions that feel out of control? Do these intense emotions build up and overflow into outbursts or reactions that seem over the top?

Are you craving real closeness in your relationships, but find yourself pulling away, shutting down, or sabotaging when things get vulnerable? You may have noticed you are hard on yourself in ways that you'd never be with a friend. I create a space where that kind of honest and vulnerable work feels safe. While we might start by talking about what's currently bothering you this week, I'm always listening for the deeper thread-the old patterns, the parts of you that get activated in relationships, and the story you've been telling yourself about who you are.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you are navigating big transitions or trying to support a child through difficult emotions. My ideal clients are children, teens, and adults who are feeling stuck, anxious, or burnt out by life's changes. Whether it is a child struggling to regulate big feelings at school, a parent trying to find a sense of peace for their family, or an adult facing a major life pivot, they come to my practice looking for a safe space to catch their breath. They want more than just talk therapy; they want to feel truly seen and understood while learning practical ways to handle the daily hurdles of life.

Reaching out for therapy is a big deal, and you deserve a space that feels real, not clinical. I show up as a whole human, warm, steady, and genuinely curious about your story. My work is trauma-informed and identity-affirming, but more than anything, it's about creating a space where you can breathe, be honest, and not feel alone in what you're carrying.

Let’s be real, finding the right therapist can take time. Not every therapist is the right fit, and that’s part of the process. But when it does feel right, it creates a space where you can be fully yourself and explore even the hard parts of your story without judgment.
When you work with me, you will have a sense of who I am as a person, as well as a therapist. Healing is hard, but it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I believe humor can be a powerful part of moving through tough moments.

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.
