I became a therapist because I believe in human potential and have personally endured some of the limiting experiences that can hamper one’s ability to enjoy life, love and relationship. Sometimes our challenges arise from choices we or others have made, or from circumstances, past and present, that we never asked for. Whatever your situation, therapy is a place where you can freely explore where you are and where you want to be. As your therapist, I can walk alongside, in front or behind, as you pursue your hopes and dreams, without feeling as though your past and things you can’t control are limiting your vision for the future.

Accepting NEW clients! In my office you don't need to wear a mask or pose as your best self because I want to help the part of you that's struggling and not really understood. Let me help you slow down and take a look at where you actually are instead and I'll start. Let my office be somewhere you don’t have to pretend or wear the “it’s fine” mask. Too often we say the phrase "I should...". But how often does that actually get you where you want to go? So why not try something different where we stop ourselves from "should-ing" on our lives.

Do these thoughts echo in your mind when nobody's around to hear? "Why do I feel so alone." "Am I failing as a parent? Does my child hate me?" "Am I a terrible person because of my thoughts and actions?" "Is this career really meant for me?" "Do I have the intelligence and charisma for that?" "Why do past events still have such a strong impact on me?"

My goal is to provide a collaborative, compassionate, and empathic space for clients to heal and explore their past, present, and future. I hope to bring a sensitive, inclusive, and warm therapeutic experience and healing journey. I completed my graduate education/training at The Family Institute at Northwestern University where I learned to embrace systems and work through a systemic lens. This allows me to truly account for the vast complexities of identity, race, relationships, power, and trauma and how this all impacts us, and our relationships/roles, on a deep level.

You do not have to be a victim of your past or present any longer. I believe everybody has the power within themselves to improve their lives. Sometimes you just need someone to help provide you with the tools necessary to do so. I will provide you with an objective point of view as we work together on breaking the destructive patterns in your life. I do not adhere to one specific theory in helping clients deal with their problems. Instead, I view every client as an individual and use what will work best to fit different needs.

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.
