I love working with geeks, devs, tech leads, managers, engineers, and scientists. I work with couples and individuals. Helping people find sense and meaning in a life filled with stressful jobs, AI fears, un-ending to do lists, and even complex polyamorous relationships. I get the people whose fun became work and then the joy was replaced with worries. Whether they are hopefully going to board game meetups to make friends, getting bad reviews from direct reports, or trying to juggle multiple partners, I can help them find a path through the struggle. These are people who want life to be better, but can’t seem to crack the code.

Many of us have known heartache, loss, confusion, and persistent worry. It's my life's work to join people who have struggled with these experiences and help them find clarity, fulfillment, and joy. I'm excited to work with individuals as they dig deeper into understanding the "why" behind their choices and motivations, to feel alive and vibrant no matter what they face. Though I approach therapeutic work in an eclectic way, I primarily utilize evidence-based practices in conjunction with other modalities to create a tailored approach to each person.

I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to reflect, find clarity, and feel supported as you make changes to make your life more what you'd like it to be. Sometimes this is after many years of trying to make relationships work without therapy.

Sometimes this is when you have taken on all the stress and responsibility of your family and you feel at your breaking point. Psychotherapy can help you find ways to make your life the one you want to be living.

You’re constantly juggling the demands of your job, your family, and your inner turmoil. You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Ongoing stress, along with unpleasant past memories, weighs heavily on you, making it hard to feel at ease. You struggle with feelings of loneliness and helplessness, get caught in a cycle of people-pleasing, and interpersonal conflicts only add to your stress, leaving you feeling unworthy and unsupported. Perhaps you find it difficult to express your needs and vulnerability, and the defenses you put up only hurt your partner and push them further away. You feel lost and disconnected.

I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, chronic illness, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, difficult life transitions, grief, burnout, and overwhelm. I believe discovering our authentic self, landing safely back in our body, finding the deeper meanings underneath our current symptoms, releasing patterns that no longer serve us, and identifying our fears, hopes and desires can help us find a renewed sense of peace and purpose in our life.

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.
