I am passionate about working with members of the LGBTQIAGEP+ community addressing issues related to identity and healthy sexual development, self-esteem and confidence problems, issues related to religious abuse and trauma, and relationship problems. I want to join with people who want to fully realize their authentic selves and live confidently in their unique strengths and passions. I want to work with people looking for a safe space to explore what it means to be their full authentic selves despite the pressures of the world around them, and who will work to make that dream a reality.

The majority of Americans who struggle with mental health do not receive treatment. If an individual does receive treatment, it's an average of eleven years after the onset of their symptoms. In other words, many individuals are all alone in their suffering. If you are struggling with a life transition, grieving the loss of a loved one, or feeling stuck, please reach out. Follow the link to my website for an online scheduling option.

Children are a gift but that doesn’t mean parenting is easy. Looking for therapy options for your child means you are about to entrust them to someone else, hoping to see them flourish and maybe bring that smile back. If you choose me, you will be an integral part of the therapy process. My hope is to help you connect and understand each other better, and eventually work my way out of a job. I offer services for children 3 – 14 years old who are having difficulty adjusting to a new thing, have experienced loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bullying, or behavioral issues.

We work with clients who are stuck in their head, over thinking, with a spiral of negative thoughts. Our clients usually feel like their anxiety or depression is holding them back from living a real life. They just want to be able to relax, find joy in things, have healthy relationships, and better boundaries. We help them do all of that and then some. Our clients leave therapy with better communication, a higher sense of self-worth, and the skills needed to move through difficult things without feeling overwhelmed. They have coping skills, real ones, sometimes for the first time!

I want to give clients an opportunity to discuss their struggles, process their emotions, and work towards solutions in a safe, welcoming environment. I enjoy helping clients gain a better understanding of what their problems really are and collaborate with them on setting realistic goals. I believe everyone is capable of learning healthy coping skills that can make life more manageable. In addition to individual therapy, I also work with couples and families. In those treatment modalities, I aim to help family members or couples set mutual goals, improve communication, and develop healthier ways to solve the problems.

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.
