The world is full of stress and each individual sees the world and their stress uniquely. I believe that there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy and I prioritize meeting the individual where they are. A client's self-awareness and choices are key to developing self-direction and independence. My techniques will include interventions from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Narrative, Emotion Focused and other systemic approaches. I believe success in counseling comes from a strong rapport and trustworthy working relationship between counselor and client. I operate from a strengths-based and encouragement-focused approach.

You lay in bed at night wondering if your partner will ever see your pain. You feel alone, unimportant, unappreciated. You do not feel the love you once felt. Now it feels like you are just roommates. You try to talk with your partner about what is bothering you. But your partner either misses your pain or it turns into an argument. The two of you just end up further apart and more alone. You know you cannot do this anymore. The pain is too much.

Clients I work with have often undergone therapy, found it helpful and wish to continue their journey with another modality or they’ve not had a good experience and seek a style of therapy that is personalized and growth-oriented. Jungian therapy can provide profound insight into self, life purpose bridging your present situation with a more meaningful future. I’ve helped many people work through concerns like: depression, anxiety, life transitions, sexuality, divorce, grief. Whatever your concerns, we can work through them together. There is no standard therapy template. Each client undertakes a uniquely individual process.

You are not alone. One of the most common experiences we share as humans are having ups and downs occur throughout our lives. Then messages that we tell ourselves start to pile on... "I'm not good enough", "I can't..", "what if..", and the "should, should, should" become our constant burden. This can become a downward spiral of events, thoughts, emotions and behavior. My focus is to connect with you to sort this out and develop messages that help you overcome suffering. My practice focuses on ages 14 - 65 on issues including: Addiction, Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Domestic Violence, Overcoming Shame and Life Transitions.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I seek to help those who are afraid to share their story for fear of rejection and judgement. The person who believes the lies they have been told about themselves, the person who feels crazy, the person who has never found someone willing to understand and remain curious, open, and nonjudgemental is who I desire to help. Some stories have never been shared because no one has ever given them enough time and space to feel safe to come out. Let me prove that it is possible to have enough faith and trust to share those vulnerabilities.

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.

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.
