You may have been told by people in your life “you’re being dramatic!” or “what’s the big deal!” when expressing your emotions. This can feel super invalidating and make it even harder to cope with the situation. I’m here to provide validation that feeling emotions more intensely than others is normal! In fact, it can even be a strength! I want us to work together to notice and nourish your strengths as well as learn more skills to add to your toolkit.

I believe in meeting you where you are at in life and developing a plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs. Every individual is unique and requires a different approach to reach their goals. It is my opinion that the best way to begin therapy is through empathy and a true understanding of someone's story in order to build a powerful therapeutic alliance, create trust and develop rapport. My approach as a therapist tends to be somewhat non traditional, informal and laid back. You are the expert of your life. My role is to listen and understand in order to help you develop confidence and skills to conquer life's challenges.

Committing to the therapeutic process can be a challenging yet ultimately rewarding experience that can help in doing away with self-defeating behavior patterns and resolving inner conflicts. Most of us can point to a time in our lives when we were feeling overwhelmed with our current life circumstances and the distress that involves. Taking the courageous step of seeking out a therapist we can comfortably engage with can assist in identifying a clear path to change and provide the support one may need in pursuit of those goals.

This is a safe space for recovery from Eating Disorders, Trauma, Anxiety & Depression. Many of us didn't receive the guidance or security we require to build the kind of awareness or skill-set needed to regulate and tolerate our emotions, sensations and thoughts. My focus is to help my clients feel safe, so they can explore and name their emotions, needs and what type of skills might help them to soothe through whatever difficulties come their way. My hope is that you will feel you have more space for what you want in your life and less of the racing thoughts, discomfort and pain.

I often work with people who have learned to hide who they are or what they are feeling in order to have relationships. My hope is to build a "safe enough" client/counselor relationship in which all parts of you can feel welcome. The therapeutic relationship often mirrors other relationships in your life, so I will be addressing our relationship dynamics and communication as part of the therapeutic process.

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.
