Hello! I know starting therapy can feel scary, but therapy itself doesn’t have to be. My clients have often told me that they feel safe, respected, and understood. I'm down-to-earth, genuine, and transparent in my approach, as I don't believe that therapy should be a mysterious process. (To learn more about me, visit my website!)

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s tailored to each individual’s needs, which can vary based on age, emotional development, and the unique challenges they’re facing. For younger children and adolescents, having an engaged family is key to achieving positive outcomes. Treatment goals will shift depending on both the individual’s age and the specific issues they’re navigating. One common challenge I see is that as children and teens grow, their desire for independence often increases, which can sometimes create tension with family goals. We can work together to balance supporting growth while strengthening family dynamics!

Life has a way of letting us know when it is time to reach out. Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, stressed, or stuck, and ready for change, but not sure where to begin? Then counseling is the right setting to have a conversation that may open doors to problem solving and providing space for change. Growing up working in the family restaurant and being active as a student athlete, I didn't have the tools to manage the stress around me. While I was helping others work on their physical fitness, I knew I needed to become a counselor to help in a more wholistic way to process the stress and challenges that hindered change.

If you are apprehensive about starting therapy, rest assured that my aim is to provide a confidential and non-judgmental space where you will feel comfortable. You are in ultimate control of the direction your therapy takes.

I’m here to support you every step of the way, helping you work through challenges, gain clarity, and create the life you’re wanting.

Sometimes life can be challenging, confusing, and overwhelming, especially when you do not yet have the insight to understand your maladaptive patterns, or the tools to make healthy changes. This can result in behavioral struggles, frustration, and chaos- and further lead to relationship difficulties, unhealthy coping patterns, and low self-esteem. I want to support you through these struggles and strive to offer acceptance and encouraging support. My approach to counseling is holistic and person-centered, and I believe that all people are unique individuals, the experts of their own lives, and called to flourish.

Naturally, therapeutic work flows the most effectively when clients have a desire to engage fully in sessions, they can be self reflective and insightful, and they are genuinely prepared to make changes in their life. That being said, ultimately each client will be at their own individual place with themselves and with life. I maintain an understanding of this so that I can meet clients where they are at. I believe it is paramount that therapeutic work can adapt to the unique circumstances of each person that seeks help.

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.
