I specialize in maternal mental health, supporting women struggling with infertility, and/or perinatal loss, and depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Fertility issues and/or miscarriages can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, and stressed, yet isolated, and in need of someone to talk to. Support persons often do not know how to comfort a grieving mother after a pregnancy loss and unintentionally pressure the mother to move on. Psychotherapy can help to grieve the loss of a pregnancy within a supportive environment.

As a trauma therapist, I work with many individuals facing deep heartache and struggles that sometimes feel too overwhelming and scary. Trauma can be triggered from some experiences such as past abuse, grief, chronic illness, or being a witness to traumatic events. This can also lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, fear, phobias, irrational fears, and agitation. Trauma can also lead to negative coping skills such as addictive patterns and behaviors. I can walk alongside you in a journey of healing and assist you in coming to a place of safety and peace and help you overcome and move you towards a place of healing!

I believe that everyone needs a "non-judgmental safe-space person to talk to." I enjoy being “that person.” I see you and hear you and I also provide mental, school/academic, organizational, relational/social, and behavioral support. For example, students may want to discuss issues they are having at school, young adults may want to process relationships or careers, or parents may want support as they raise their children and navigate the school system. Many concerns lead us to look for support. Feel free to reach out to see if I can assist you as well.

To others, your teen or young adult appears to have it all. They are bright, accomplished, and successful. But beneath the surface they are stymied by anxiety that affects their schoolwork and relationships. Perhaps they struggle with focus or sleeping, seem angry or stressed, or avoid tasks or situations. They may worry about college acceptance or falling short of having the career and life they envision. Often they feel burdened by the weight of effort or achievements that they perceive as never good enough. They’re ready to make a change - they want to feel relaxed and confident again.

One of the hardest parts of being neurodiverse is living in a world full of people who don’t get you. This can make us neurodiverse folks feel rejected, alone, and unworthy, which then creates many more mental health concerns. But, ironically, when we go to therapy for these problems, we are often met by a neurotypical therapist who doesn’t understand us either! As a neurodiverse therapist myself, I provide a level of personal understanding that, coupled with my years of education and experience, allows me to empower you to overcome mental health concerns that hold you back.

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.
