“We are not ashamed of who we are” (Sylvia Rivera). Living authentically comes with challenges. Prejudicial legislation, discriminatory public policy and intolerant societal messaging can complicate our personal journeys toward self-efficacy and peace-of-mind. My clinical focus is to affirm and advocate for clients who identify as LGBTQIA+. I take great pride in my community. I see your strengths and hope to serve as a source of reflective light.

Prioritizing your mental and emotional wellness in your 20s isn't easy alongside all the other things you're likely juggling & thinking about. If you're here, I want to acknowledge how difficult it can feel to seek support amidst competing priorities. I primarily work with emerging adults who have experienced a recent life change(s) or loss, and/or are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or difficulties related to perfectionism. I also have experience working with young women who are struggling with body image concerns and/or issues commonly associated with female athletes.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I aim to support those who hesitate to share their stories due to fear of rejection and judgment. I work with individuals who have jumped from therapist to therapist, feeling unheard and misunderstood. Many have never found a safe space to explore their experiences, but I strive to create an environment of curiosity, openness, and nonjudgment. Let me show you that it’s possible to cultivate the trust needed to share your vulnerabilities and find healing.

As a young adult, I am well acquainted with the arduous process of self-discovery. Determining one's values, beliefs, purpose, relationships, and identity - these are the major life tasks facing young people. Every. Single. Day. The gravity of depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and isolation leave one feeling as though the journey were over before it started.

We live in a fast paced world with many pressures and it is often easy to let this stressful world get the best of us. We forget to take care of ourselves, and before we know it we are experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and many other issues. If left untreated these ailments can spiral out of control and leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. If this sounds like you, and you have been experiencing some of these feelings, and you feel life has spun out of control, don't you think it's time to get back to life?

You're stressed, unsure and frustrated navigating day-to-day life. You find yourself comparing and wondering why everyone else seems to know themselves and what they’re doing. You want to feel confident enough to get through a day without doubting yourself every ten seconds. Imagine closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and knowing yourself well enough to do the damn thing. Less overthinking, more trusting yourself.

Exploring the unknown? I work with clients who find themselves entering into a new life phase. Recently divorced? Discovered a partner's infidelity? Trying to conceive? Experiencing anxiety after a baby? Exploring who you are as an adult adoptee? These phases may have been forced upon you, or maybe they were made by choice. Each one can be difficult due to the particular and unique shame and/or societal beliefs about them. I work with clients to set boundaries, identify their values, re-write their narratives, while implementing healthy lifestyle changes.

YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. Although your story is unique, research has proven that Partners/Spouses of Infidelity or Compulsive Sexual Behaviors experience broken trust and you're likely experiencing symptoms of PTSD (intrusive thoughts, avoidance of people/places, mood dysregulation, etc). Combined with the discovery or disclosure of the betrayal, the associated behaviors of gaslighting (lies & blame) will lead to feelings of incongruence within your body and mind which can make you feel like you are going crazy. You are not alone, and you are not crazy. There is hope. Hope for healing, restoration, empowerment, and non-victim living.

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.
