I enjoy working with clients 8+, and have extensive experience working with teens and adult women. I believe therapy should be collaborative and I appreciate when clients are open and willing to try new strategies in and outside of session. I use a prescriptive approach, finding the mode of treatment that will work best for each client. Clients can expect to be treated with compassion and respect. I am experienced in working with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and transitional issues. I have a deep understanding of how early adversity impacts wellness across the lifespan.

Intrusive thoughts can be scary and overwhelming. Compulsions can seem inescapable. Anxiety can come without obvious reasons and can make our days difficult and exhausting. Anxiety, fear, sadness, and shame can affect our day-to-day lives. Sometimes we can feel that these emotions are consuming our thoughts and actions. Therapy can help people understand and manage these emotions.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are possible when people enter into therapy with a willingness to share their truth, feel, and try new things. These positive changes can include a decrease in negative symptoms, increased self-esteem, improved communication skills, and enhanced relationships.

I believe that therapy can be beneficial to most people during this journey we call life. There are various obstacles and challenges that can make it difficult, and at times very overwhelming for us to deal with. You are not alone! Many individuals that I have worked with over the years find it comforting to be able to confide in someone kind, empathetic, and objective; who can work collaboratively toward their goals. You are an expert in your life, so it's important to note that therapy is a collaborative experience where we work toward your identified goals.

Currently accepting NEW clients! Clients often express feeling heard & hopeful after our first session. I believe a strong client-therapist connection is crucial. Finding the right therapist can be challenging & my goal is to make that process as comfortable as possible. It is natural to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Together we will create a personalized treatment plan with a focus on the whole person (mind & body), as every person is unique. I utilize a strengths-based approach to help people identify what they are already doing well, and to help them see & build on that potential. Small changes can make a big impact.

Caring people feel emotions more intensely. Whether its paralyzing anxiety, the continual cloud of depression or heartbreaking loss your daily struggle is valid. You may find making decisions about your relationships, career/college path, or everyday life extremely difficult. Earlier trauma only complicates the emotional pain and attempts to cope. You deserve to feel understood, listened to, and worthy while healing, building healthy coping skills, regaining positivity and confidence. Therapy is a trusting, respectful, nonjudgemental path forward for yourself. Caring people deserve a compassionate therapist.

Many of the adults/teens that I work with are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, and/or PTSD. Others may be struggling in their relationships, or grieving a loss. Some are seeking to learn new coping skills or healthy communication methods, while some are involved in toxic relationships and are looking for support to help process and navigate how to improve their boundaries. These conditions and experiences often leave us living in either the future or the past, affect our relationships, impact how we deal with everyday life, and prevent us from living the lives we wish for ourselves.

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.
