Change is hard and as we get older we are faced with inevitable changes in life. Those can include a new job, a death in our family, change in careers or even becoming a parent. Life transitions, grief and traumatic experiences can feel overwhelming and can cause a lot of suffering. It can feel especially difficult when we don’t have a support system that helps us feel safe, validate or heard. It is important to be able to build self-compassion and find coping skills that allow us to respond to life’s adversities.

Life can be full of responsibilities and stressors that can become overwhelming and difficult to handle, affecting our emotional well-being, sense of self-worth, and many times our relationships. If you’re feeling depressed and/or anxious and alone; if you're struggling with expectations, sacrificing your own needs to please others, feeling lonely or experiencing issues with your partner, and/or significant others or would just like a safe place to share your feelings, therapy can be a good option.

Tweens and teens face many stressors just like anyone else. They experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma all while juggling the demands of school, home life, and peers. I work with primarily emerging adults, teens, and tweens because I understand how challenging life can be at this stage in life. I also understand that pets can teach us important lessons in life, so I have my own canine partner, Luigi the Therapy Dog. I value practicing pet-assisted therapy and Luigi often likes to make appearances on our telehealth sessions!

Therapy is an intimidating process. It requires you to face the struggles keeping you from reaching your full potential. Life is full of transitions. At each, we learn to adapt and adjust. However, these transitions can be difficult and can lead to debilitating symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger, etc. Perhaps these are not happening to you, but you notice them in your child and are unsure of how to help. So, even though therapy can be intimidating, it can be the risk you need to take, to move forward towards the positive outcome you desire. If you are ready to take the next step, let me partner with you in this process.

At times, life can feel like it is not going as it should. So often the experience of overwhelming feelings, discomfort or unmet expectations can leave you feeling an incredible amount of shame, guilt, embarrassment or confusion. You may even find yourself isolating or doing things to avoid feeling the full extent of your discomfort, which often doesn’t fix things. This is a common experience, and a time where it can be helpful to allow someone like myself to support you in making sense of what is happening, and to work through whatever you are feeling.

Working with adults in a variety of capacities, I have the perspective that through empowering relationships, people are better able to access growth, understanding, and positive change. Through compassion, reflection and understanding patterns of behavior, I facilitate a collaborative process of identifying goals, working toward self-understanding, and ultimately actualizing changes that people desire.

Are you feeling down, anxious and worried all the time? Have you been distancing yourself from your favorite activities and relationships? Have you experienced sudden fear, rage, and panic? Have you felt nausea, headaches, or palpitations? Although these emotions are normal reactions in our bodies, sometimes they can manifest out of context, place or time and they can be overwhelming. Intergenerational trauma can affect the way we think, act, and feel, especially in people who identify as BIPOC. EMDR and Flash techniques can help you get relief from these symptoms.

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.
