I am privileged that many individuals and families give me the opportunity to help them feel, behave and lead much healthier lives. I am currently working in Dublin at my private practice, as well as providing teleconference sessions since Covid-19. I pride myself on having a private practice for over 15 years. I specialize in adolescents and their families but see individuals as well. I am a highly professional therapist who's natural ability is to create a safe environment and accept my clients for who they are which has lead to most of my referrals coming from previous clients, friends and or colleagues.

Life happens. Everything is running smoothly in our lives and then something happens that throws us off balance: a relationship breakup, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, divorce, or a trauma. Instead of a single event, it can also be the buildup of stress or the accumulation of various life experiences. Sometimes we just want to learn more about ourselves. It can even be a wound from our past from which we have difficulty healing. All of us experience obstacles in our lives that can become overwhelming.

Life can be stressful, especially if you have a diagnosis of Autism/Aspergers. Navigating your social world and relationships can be confusing when you see the world through a different lens than your peers. However, with coaching and practice, social situations, relationships, school and work can be less intimidating. If you're a parent of a child with Autism, receiving a diagnosis of autism shatters a parent’s dreams. You wonder if you child will ever learn to talk, have friends, get a job, or live independently. You need support and advice from a trusted professional who can guide you on this difficulty journey.

As a therapist, I understand that being a young adult woman in today’s world can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, relationship dynamics, and boundaries feel like constant sources of stress. You might be navigating a whirlwind of expectations—balancing career goals, personal growth, friendships, and romantic relationships—while also managing feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty. If you’re struggling with anxiety that leaves you feeling stuck or unsure of your next step, or if you’re caught in unhealthy relationship patterns and find it hard to speak up for yourself or set boundaries, I want you to know you’re not alone.

It is my belief that what keeps us from asking for guidance, someone to truly help us through our vulnerability, is the fear of being judged. Maybe we believe we are beyond help. Let me commit to you a safe space where compassion and nonjudgement are guaranteed; an interactive relationship where we stimulate thoughts, ideas & feelings. I'm "in it" with you journeying by your side. No matter how impossible it seems to shift the painful state you are in, it is possible. It is accessible sooner than you realize. Let me help you access the freedom to be you.

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.
