You are an adult at a crossroads in your life and are looking for more intensive therapy than someone to talk to. You have experienced mis-attunements and/or trauma in your early life and have struggled to untangle the coping mechanisms that no longer work for you. Perhaps you don't know yourself or even know how to know yourself. Perhaps you just keep ending up in relationships that repeat past patterns no matter how hard you try not to. The idea of spending years in weekly therapy to get anywhere feels like too little. You need dynamic, change-oriented therapy that makes a difference quickly and offers more than just talking.

I want you to know that change is possible for you. Our last experiences can inform the way we show up in present moment experiences with self and others, and earlier attachment wounds and traumatic experiences can cause us to experience suffering in current relationships, struggle to connect with and communicate emotions, and utilize tools that no longer feel supportive. You can have a different experience, and I would love to help you on that journey.

Making the decision to seek therapy is a brave step, as it's not always easy to share difficulties and accept help. I believe it takes courage to talk about struggles, feelings, or life-changing events. As your therapist, it will be my privilege to assist and embark with you in your journey towards a healthier life. You are not alone nor do you need to continue through this obstacle without support. I believe that with compassion and acceptance, healing and positive changes are possible.

Most of us feel unprepared in the face of many of life's challenges and we all need help navigating difficult junctures and transitions. Depression and anxiety can be overwhelming and debilitating, as can chronic health conditions and struggles in relationships. I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds, orientations and age groups. My experience includes individual and group work with people who have issues of trauma, substance use, grief, loss, anger and long-standing childhood issues and conflicts. 15 years of my work has been with combat/non-combat Veterans healing from physical and emotional injuries and losses.

Perhaps you are experiencing big feelings or an overwhelming numbness and are having a hard time making sense of why you feel the way you feel. Or, maybe the the internal shame spiral of “I should be over this by now” has taken over and you’re feeling alone and stuck. Maybe you already know what “it” is and you’re ready to face it. If this is you, let’s talk about it together. It’s not a matter of “what is wrong with you” but rather what has happened to you. I work individually with adolescents and adults, in person and virtually. With me, you will receive an empathetic and compassionate care from a holistic full body approach.

As a marriage and family therapist I use a family systems approach based on gaining an understanding of how we think, feel and behave in the systems we belong to. I use an integrated approach, structuring sessions applicable to the client's needs; therefore, therapy is a collaborative effort and exchange. Both past and present life experiences shape who we are. Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the many roles we play. It is my hope that I can help ease any discomfort or pain you experience in your families and relationships.

Finding a good fit with a therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming, reaching out is a huge step in navigating towards something different. You might be feeling stuck in familiar patterns or cycles that aren’t allowing you to live into your deeper desires. I believe that the relationship we co-create has the potential to bring a lot of breakthrough to these intimate aspects of life that can often get neglected and be hidden in nature. I take a holistic approach integrating the mind and body awareness into our work together.

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.
