Years ago I grew increasingly aware of how anxiety affects our behaviors that are not representative of who we are. I studied mindfulness interventions that came from Positive Psychology and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. After personal practice and assistance to my clients in group and individual settings we experienced and witnessed decreased stress, improved self-regulation, and a quicker way to access joy, acceptance, and peace with ourselves and others.

We are wired to seek a life of connection, purpose and meaning. Our unique life experiences, deeply impact the way we view the world, ourselves and others. At times, we feel lonely, disconnected, and lost in our search for acceptance, growth and authenticity. I believe that therapy is a path towards reconnection with your true self and others. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore perceptions and beliefs, deepen your self-awareness, and recognize the profound connection between body and mind.

I understand reaching out can be extremely difficult, especially to someone you don't know. I applaud you for taking the step as it is not easy to be vulnerable. Often, the past has wounds that are painful to explore and bring to the surface. However, with an encouraging, supportive, and nonjudgmental relationship, I believe healing and growth is possible and obtainable. You are not broken, but rather surviving from the distressing impact of your past. You are the expert of your experiences, and it would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you find the power to change your thoughts and change your life.

I believe everyone strives to be happy and healthy, but for some that finish line is harder to get to. Whether acknowledged or not, our society tends to marginalize individuals who identify in minority populations. In addition to the normal struggles we face as humans, life can be that much more difficult for those who are disadvantaged whether by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability to name a few. While I cannot change the course of society, I can help you identify how it's shaped you, how to find coping skills that support you, and how to find new insight and strategies to whether the storms.

Skilled therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist in which we identify individual strengths and skills, as well as the challenges that bring the client to therapy. My approach is an integration of support, respect, and sometimes challenging feedback towards personal growth, balanced living, improved relationships, and emotional stability. Areas of focus in my practice for improving psychological well-being include self-esteem challenges, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, mid-life transitions, grief and loss, codependency, and stress management.

We all want to feel better & have thriving relationships, but our life experiences have a direct impact on that. Whether you're an individual with unresolved trauma, a first responder whose job is affecting their personal life, or a couple struggling to communicate or with infidelity, for example. Conflict & residual trauma can cause a loss of connection over time with those we love. And trauma left untreated can cause heightened reactions, like anger or fear, or the opposite - emotional detachment. You may notice feeling sad or irritable, have nightmares, or struggle with trust. The effects are different for each person.

My primary areas of focus are anxiety/panic disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, adjustment disorder, cultural and ethnic issues, spiritual and faith-based counseling, and working with the veteran/military connected population. As a 20-year Marine Corps veteran myself, I am both confident and comfortable serving this population that I have proudly identified with for the last three decades. I have witnessed through my own children, stepchildren, spouse, and fellow veterans, the psychological distress that comes from serving in the military.

Perhaps you're grappling with dissatisfaction and frustration in your current relationship? Maybe you're struggling to recover from infidelity or even contemplating divorce?

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.
