I believe you are here because you want a change, and change can be difficult. I believe change is hard because through life we have learned to avoid difficult emotions, thoughts, and situations. Avoidance can come in many forms including distractions, substance use, and opting out of what is important to you. While the avoidance helps in the immediate, it can lead us away from those things that mean the most to us which can leave us feeling stuck and defeated. As an ACT therapist, my goal is to give you the abilities to be with your difficult experiences, while you engage in actions and behaviors that move you towards your values.

Clients who come to therapy are often in the murk of their own perspectives and thoughts which can feel overwhelming and isolating when trying to solve their problems. I believe as humans we want to be heard, understood, and find a sense of belongingness, and the therapy process can offer those things to clients while they try to find their sense of balance in their lives. One doesn't have to know exactly what the problem is necessarily because often times the outer layer of an onion is what one comes in with, but through the process together we may discover a deeper core that will lead to a beautiful blooming new start.

Life can be challenging, especially when trying to handle a negative stress or event that comes our way. It can be difficult to figure out how to get through high stress or heavy lows, and still feel we are able to move forward. I can be an objective perspective that can help you build skills and tools to better cope with the pressure and tension in your life.

Seeking help through counseling provides us with a safe place to empty our hearts and suffer less, to share our stories and be met with compassion, to receive support and encouragement so that we can dig deep and keep going! There are times in life when we feel like things just aren’t working anymore. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, tired, lost, alone, hurt. It is frustrating when old thoughts and behaviors are contributing to feeling stuck. In those times the ability to seek support on our journey is an example of our inner resourcefulness, hope, strength, and courage.

Talking about sex can be very challenging, particularly because we've receive so many mixed messages leading to feelings of internalized shame, guilt, and doubt. We are left wondering, "Am I normal? Are my desires and expressions okay?" We are rarely given space to have an honest, open conversation about our sexuality, gender or relationship structures and its impact on the larger self. My purpose in therapy is to create the space where understanding, healing, and integration of your authentic self can begin, where you can freely explore your sexual identity, expressions and ideal relationship configurations.

Welcome! I know that taking your first steps into finding a therapist can seem like a daunting task. Every therapist is slightly different, so the most important thing that you can do is to find a therapist who is right for you. Personally, I believe that therapy works best when we are able to work together in a friendly, collaborative environment, where you can feel seen, heard, and known. I also believe that there is no “one size fits all” model, and therefore I tailor my therapy sessions to each client's individual needs.

I work with people of all ages struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My experience is that people heal and grow in an accepting and encouraging relationship. Therapy provides a warm, professional relationship and space where clients feel safe expressing themselves, while challenged to question limiting thoughts and behaviors. My clients generally report improved self-acceptance and self-esteem, lower stress and anxiety levels, better communication, and greater peace of mind.

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.
