My desire is for my clients to know they have someone in their corner when they come for their session - someone who will listen, advocate, and encourage them in the areas they are seeking growth. When counseling, I seek to provide an understanding and compassionate heart for my clients who have courageously taken a step towards change. I greatly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with anxiety and depression, as well as those who are survivors of abuse. I consider it a great joy and privilege knowing I can play a small role in a client having a breakthrough moment.

I believe a good counselor works their way out of a job...one client at a time. We all get "stuck" in life from time to time. My goal is to provide you with knowledge, tools, guidance, and support so that you can get "unstuck" and move on. Therapy is not magic...but it works. If you are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational problems I would like the opportunity to visit with you to see if I can help.

Trauma sucks. It shows up as tightness in your chest, that constant pit in your stomach, or that voice in your head telling you you're just not enough. If you grew up in emotionally unsafe environments, been in unstable relationships, or constantly feel like you’re barely keeping it together, you get it. You’ve learned to survive by staying on edge, overachieving, people-pleasing, and burying your real emotions. You say “I’m fine,” but deep down, you know you're not. Trauma is running the show, and it's draining.

Deciding to begin therapy can be a vulnerable time in life. I am here to help you, as your therapist, identify your goals, find your strengths, and implement healthy coping skills. I work with children, adults, and families to focus on healing. I enjoy working with all ages, and specialize in working with children (and their caregivers) and individuals with an abuse history. In therapy, we will utilize your strengths and interests, such as art or play for children, to individualize treatment!

Individuals and Couples are both welcome. When life feels overwhelming, we need to feel seen, heard, and cared for more than ever. If you find that you lack support in your personal life from family, friends, work, or even your partner and you think you need more guidance, then I may be a good fit for you. I understand feeling lost and not knowing where to turn. As someone who found resilience in adversity, I know just how difficult it is to navigate these feelings alone. If you are currently in the “counselor hunting” stage, I have been in your shoes and I know it is daunting. You've completed the hardest step just by looking.

Reaching out for help can be hard on a good day - the tough days make it even harder. You and your life are worth it.

Together we'll set goals to shift how you think about and cope with the issue at hand. We'll develop tools and techniques to use in your day-to-day life that reduce the struggle and pain. Tools that foster peace, growth and healing - now, as well as in the future after our time together in counseling has ended.

Do people rely on you because you’re the one who always has it together? Maybe you’re the "strong one" — the parent, partner, or friend who keeps saying "yes" while quietly running on empty. You take care of everyone else, but when it comes to your own needs, you feel guilty or unsure where to start. On the outside, you look calm and capable, but inside you’re exhausted, anxious, and wondering how much longer you can keep it up.
You might catch yourself thinking, "I should be happier. I have plenty to be grateful for." But instead, you feel stuck. Overwhelmed by constant expectations and disconnected from the person you used to be.

Do you feel exhausted? Like you have been sprinting on a hamster wheel not actually going anywhere? Like you’re at the end of your rope with no where else to go? Do you miss the husband you married on your wedding day and feel like you’re waking up next to a stranger? Do you feel unheard, disconnected, and frustrated by your kids who likewise feel the same but can’t figure out why? Does it feel like everyone on your social media feed has it together (or can admit that they don’t in the caption of their perfectly filtered picture…) when it’s taking everything within you just to make it through the rest of the day?

Relationships can be messy — whether it is you and a spouse, you and your children or just you and the world. Sometimes we do it well and other times we need a little guidance. We were never meant to figure out things all on our own. We all need others to help us by way of encouragement and direction.

We live in a world with set ideals and standards that weigh heavily on us pressing insurmountable expectations that we simply cannot meet. We also live with our own selves and our own minds putting the same demanding and unforgiving pressure on us. So, how might we break free into weightless grace? A jumping off point is beginning with “a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart" (Psalm 51:17). Our brokenness may range from depression, anxiety, grief, bitterness, addictions, shame, mental and emotional anguish and instability and are brought on by different variables such as trauma and attempting to shoulder this weight alone.

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.
