Do you find yourself questioning your purpose while staring at the ceiling at 3 AM? Military service, career changes, or major life events can leave you feeling adrift in unfamiliar waters. As a former soldier who's navigated the complex journey from military to civilian life, I understand the unique challenge of reconciling who you were with who you're becoming. That existential uncertainty—wondering if you're on the right path or if your life has meaning—can be both isolating and overwhelming.

I'm a developing counselor who loves supporting deep feelers, overthinkers, and intellectualizers who desire to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and authentic selves. Healing begins with courage and compassion, not self-critique.
Suffering isn’t something that needs to be “fixed.” It is a deeply human, universal experience that can be a doorway into greater aliveness, capacity, and integration.

Life can change in an instant — through injury, diagnosis, loss or unexpected life events- leaving you overwhelmed, unsteady, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are directly experiencing a major life change or supporting someone who is, you may be navigating uncertainty, grief, and a life that no longer feels the same. Moving forward is not about "getting over it." It's about gently finding your footing within circumstances that you did not choose. I work with individuals and family caregivers navigating unfamiliar emotional terrain and rebuilding a sense of self and stability.

Can we all agree that life can be rough? One minute, things are great, then the next, things feel different. Is it a disconnect in our relationships? Is it unmanageable demands? Life feels heavy, and the days feel long. We question the path we have taken and worry about our future. You are not alone! Imagine feeling at ease, again. What does that feel like? Is it reduced anxiety, increased self-esteem, or socializing again? I am here to meet you on your journey and help you to feel empowered and supported. Every person has a different story to tell. The counseling process should reflect an individuals' journey.

Life can be immensely challenging. Even writing that out- encapsulating that complexity in so few words- feels reductive. I recognize that managing emotions, behavior, relationships, and thoughts can feel like juggling without knowing how. Past experiences and worries about the future can weigh heavily. As humans we are wired to sort things out in relationships- a key reason why therapy can help.

We all go through periods of feeling lost, confused, or overwhelmed. Life is full of situations that can trigger these, whether it be job stress, relationship trouble, chronic health issues, and parenting difficulties. While we can't avoid life's stressors, we CAN learn to cope more effectively with them. It's often helpful to develop some insights as to how our beliefs contribute to our emotions, and ultimately, our behavior patterns. Examining those beliefs and experimenting with new behaviors leads to healthier coping strategies that help us thrive. I'm here to partner with you on this journey!

Life is full of inevitable difficulties, and how you approach them matters. In sessions, I work to provide a supportive environment where you can feel safe to untangle your thoughts and feelings. As I work alongside you, I aim to use feedback, honesty, compassion, empathy, and humor to help you find healing and a better understanding of yourself. I apply my cultural background, education, and experiences with trauma-informed care to create my own unique philosophy in helping others; the main pillar of that philosophy being self-awareness.

I hold a particular passion for helping people find clarity, balance, & restoration in a world that often asks more of them than it gives. My approach creates space to reconnect with your voice, boundaries, & identity without apology.

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.
