As an integrative psychologist, my focus in treatment is considering the different areas that impact a person’s life and well-being. I believe that everyone can heal and change. In my work, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where we can build a trusting and collaborative relationship towards positive change. My approach is to treat the individual by attending to the many areas of their lives, helping them improve everyday functioning, increasing self-efficacy, and fostering healing and growth. I have extensive training working with individuals, couples, and families.

The struggle in trying to acheive a work life balance when you have so much on your plate is real. When you don't see clients, you try to play catch-up. It looks like scrambling to get to the pile of laundry that's been sitting in the dryer while your stomach grumbles before school pick-up. It's hard to give yourself grace because you think you have to be perfect. Most days, you question if you're cut out for this.

Counseling is about helping you achieve your goals of emotional and mental well being. This could mean overcoming hurtful feelings, changing negative thoughts, and /or stopping destructive behaviors. It also could involve helping with relationships, marriage or family issues that are causing problems. I approach therapy from a holistic framework. Since we are all unique, various approaches such as emotional support, cognitive restructuring, behavioral modification and brief therapy may be helpful.

The folks I get to work with tend to feel stuck; maybe they've been in therapy forever and haven't found the connection or growth they've needed. Or they have never tried therapy, and the idea of going on Psychology Today is the bravest thing you've ever done. I get to work with folks who have experienced an array of trauma including (but not limited to lol) sexual trauma, eating disorders, self-harming, and community or familial violence. I will say this to any client - I use a human-first approach, before any diagnosis or label, you deserve goodness simply because of your pulse. I am glad you are here.

My life’s work has been all about interrupting black and white thinking. I know what it’s like to feel forced to pick sides—by a community, by conflicting parts of identity, by rigid ideas of right and wrong. As I’ve healed and grown, I’ve learned to appreciate that becoming your own person means learning how to navigate a world that isn’t as straightforward as our families, systems, or the status quo would like us to believe. Therapy's a place where you can unlock your sense of autonomy and self-worth—once you feel ready to embark on the journey. & I'll be there to walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and a genuine smile.

Are you looking for purpose, meaning and connection? Are you overwhelmed with life? I've worked with many clients to get to the root of their symptoms and help them thrive. My style is very relational in nature-my desire is to walk alongside my clients to help them find relief and grow. Many therapists are no longer offering in person sessions. Not me! I work primarily in office as I place high value on face to face connections in this digital age. Reaching out to make a therapy appointment takes courage—I would be honored to connect with you and see how I can 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.
