I recognize that every person's journey is unique and rely on a person-centered approach to support clients. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms; I empower clients to build understanding of their triggers and coping mechanisms.

Everyone has a story. You deserve to be seen and you deserve to be heard. As a therapist I have the sacred honor to hear your story. As an actor and performing artist, I understand the struggles of overthinking and love to work with my fellow overthinkers. I love aiding people who have experienced complex trauma- that have developed maladaptive patterns in their life and have lost their voice, power, and their identity. Maybe this stems from childhood, maybe from an abusive relationship or from abandonment.

Navigating an ever-changing world can feel isolating, anxiety-inducing, or even impossible - but you don't have to make that journey alone. My goal is to provide an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where you can safely explore the things most important to you (like your needs, goals, values, and concerns). Let's work on shifting the question "what's wrong with me?" into conversations honoring what has happened to make you who you are today and discovering how you want to show up in the world. You are a whole person, not just a sum of symptoms.

I started my career in the field of mental health within the inpatient setting. I worked with children through geriatric patients in this setting. As I completed my education I transitioned from inpatient to outpatient and then settled into school counseling. I am currently working within both the school and private practice settings. I am open to seeing all ages, from all walks of life. I appreciate how difficult it may be to take this step and I applaud you!

Life has a way of bringing old wounds to the surface—especially in our relationships, our work, and the quiet moments when we feel overwhelmed or unsure of ourselves. At Willow Lane Counseling, we offer individual therapy for adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that feel hard to break. Often, these struggles are rooted in early experiences—times when our emotions may not have been seen, understood, or held with care.

The loss of a loved one can bring up many overwhelming emotions. Depending on the relationship and the circumstances of the loss, there can be major life transitions that can occur. It is natural that one might need support when going through such a difficult time. Those dealing with grief are looking to be supported and heard, and it can be helpful to have someone objective to hear their experience.

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.
