Experiencing feelings of dysregulation, sorrow, overwhelm, fear, anger, and exhaustion is an inherent aspect of being human, and addressing these experiences can seem daunting. The therapeutic journey equips us to navigate our relationship with our bodies, emotions, experiences, and interpersonal connections, and address deep sources of pain and fear that can often arise merely from existing in this world. Through mindfulness CBT, IFS, and somatic lenses, I want to help you understand yourself and your challenges deeply enough on all levels to invoke acceptance, understanding, and the most difficult of all, change.

Life has a way of knocking us down, doesn’t it? It can be tough to create a life that feels fulfilling. We can find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships, career, or life, and it can be difficult to shake the nagging sense that life has not turned out how we expected or hoped. Perhaps, you are struggling with a difficult boss or a job that doesn’t quite seem to fit your skill set. Or perhaps, no matter matter how hard you try you cannot seem to make progress with your relationships (whether that be your spouse, significant other, family, or friends), and it continues to be distant, disconnected, or conflicted.

As a dedicated trauma therapist, I am passionate about empowering women to heal from their past experiences and reclaim their lives. I specialize in guiding women through the complexities of trauma, offering a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. I understand that intersectional identities—such as race, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, disability, etc—play a significant role in how trauma is experienced and processed. I am committed to addressing and honoring these diverse experiences, recognizing that each woman's journey is unique.

I believe that knowledge is power, and it’s my mission to help clients understand the “why” behind their behaviors to unlock their potential for rapid transformation. I use evidence-based, person-centered cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients rewire their thoughts and behaviors. By exploring the science behind their patterns, clients gain the tools to take control of their minds and make lasting change.

If you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression or have difficulty managing your relationships, I can work with you to identify healthier ways in which to relate to yourself and others. Life events, including trauma, can have a lasting effect and limit our interactions. Learning to get to the root of behaviors is an important part of our over all development. Together we can identify ways to make healthy changes that are potentially more meaningful and sustainable. I often encourage a holistic approach (mind, body, spirit) to treatment which can be helpful for overall clarity and peace of mind.

I feel that change is an inevitable part of life regardless of whether we choose to accept or resist it. Life presents us with challenges and opportunities, and it's on us to figure out how to navigate them. Processing through the emotional effects of change can be uncomfortable. As individuals we are constantly evolving, and it's important to be mindful of the ways in which we experience life's changes. Safety and comfort are key in the therapeutic process, and I am mindful of this as I help you grow.

If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that just won't shift, you're not alone. Many of us go through life feeling disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and sometimes from the path we want to be on. But the truth is, we are all wired for connection, and it's through building that connection, both with ourselves and others, that healing begins.

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.
