If you're ready to take on your difficult concerns, I'm ready to help. Whether you have ADHD, anxiety, or depression, or are struggling with issues of human sexuality or relationship difficulties, I'm here not only to listen but to offer guidance and a pathway to change.

Therapy starts with not only understanding where you are today, it includes how you got to where you are. If you don't understand where you came from it is difficult to figure out where you are going. While we don't change the past it is part of who you are. Your goals are our goals. It is important in my practice to tell people what they need to hear which is not always what you want to hear. That is why having a therapist you can trust and feel safe with is critical. When we are feeling unsafe and adrift having a destination in mind allows us to get to where we want to be.

You did not get hurt alone, and you do not have to heal alone. Whether you are coming to therapy with lots of life stressors, recent traumas, or old wounds, my desire is to listen deeply to you. Often we can feel trapped by ideas of how we're "supposed" to feel, or by the expectations we feel from others. I want to make space for you to get in touch with what's really true for you. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on yourself, and I have deep respect for your inner guidance in navigating life.

My ideal client is curious about their inner world and seeks deeper self-understanding. They may struggle with life transitions, trauma presenting as anxiety or depression, be neurodivergent, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They need a safe space to explore their emotions, reconnect with their body, and unburden extreme beliefs and emotions. Their goal is to cultivate self-compassion, self-dedication, and authenticity. They want to feel more grounded, empowered, and connected—to themselves and others—so they can live with greater ease and purpose.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience. In therapy, I work to provide a safe and relaxed setting which allows for a clear review and discussion of past events. In a positive atmosphere where self-esteem is enhanced, a person is more likely to develop a new understanding of their situation and identify effective solutions.

My clients are often surprised that they don't have to relive their traumatic experiences in order to heal. In fact, it is always my goal for a client to leave my office feeling much better than when they came in. Many of my traumatized clients have not had this experience in therapy and it is a welcome relief. My pace is slow and my approach is gentle, yet surprisingly effective! I have been taught some very effective ways to help people heal and regain composure following trauma. I thank my teachers for providing me with these highly effective healing tools.

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.
