As well as being trained in Gestalt and EMDR therapy modalities, I have practiced for 30+ years as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and work a variety of persons with disabilities. As such, I am very well versed in community resources. I have been known to "work out of the box" and rely heavily on creativity in order to achieve success with my clients.

Let’s prioritize your wants, needs, and desires. Therapy is a space where you get to receive the attention you may have not been gifting yourself. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ challenges, or any other stressors, let’s collaborate to create a life that serves you on your terms. I support adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. One of my specialties is providing support to LGBTQ+ populations. As a transgender woman, I know first-hand what it’s like to be part of an oppressed group living in a world that is unkind to people like me.

Our social world can be an overwhelming, stressful place that leaves parts of ourselves unseen and unheard. I believe in creating a holding space, a place of openness and compassion, where you can dare to be yourself. In psychotherapy, we come together to better understand how elements of your internal and external worlds are interacting (or not interacting). Sometimes what has long been unseen and unheard can transform into awareness. Together, we can look at whatever emerges to find new ways of understanding your experiences. With care and support, small steps forward, however subtle, can yield transformation.

As another fellow human being, I too understand that life will inevitably throw difficulties and challenges in our way. Our feelings and responses towards these situations can be difficult to handle on our own, or even difficult to understand. We can often be left with hurt, confusion, and a feeling of aloneness during these times, and I seek to help remedy that for my clients. Whether it’s strife in an interpersonal relationship, substance abuse, past traumas, gender and sexuality issues, or one’s own journey of self-discovery and growth, I believe we can work together to make struggles in those areas a temporary state for you.

Taking the first steps towards healing can be difficult as it involves discovering who you are beneath all the layers that comprise your identity. If you have experienced chronic childhood trauma, poverty, racism, or any form of discrimination or injustice based on your identity, this can harm how you view yourself, how you interact with others, and how you view the world. These negative experiences can become disruptive to the type of life you may aspire for yourself. I want you to know that it is possible to heal these wounds and become someone you will feel proud of.

"When I begin to work with a patient I realize that together we face the challenge of exploring all the complexities, confusion, and hurt that are embedded in the problem for which they seek therapy. With a deep commitment to holding a space for all that is there and listening for the unspoken feelings that lie beneath, I bear witness to the experiential unfolding of what has not before been expressed. Once this happens, patients come into contact with their authentic self, the confusion begins to clear, the hurt sets about healing, and there is trust in this emergent self."

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our ability to grow in the direction of a more thriving and vibrant life is hampered by painful emotions or old patterns we just can't seem to shake. We might find ourselves stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or detached, whether due to life circumstances or factors we cannot immediately identify. I see therapy as a way to address these sorts of challenges by co-creating a space for greater understanding and appreciation of each client’s emotional life. Through this process, I aim to help my clients access a greater degree of freedom within themselves and with others.

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.
