If stuck let me help. The story below shows the importance of finding the right counselor. One day a man was walking on a sidewalk and falls into a big hole. He yells for help. A doctor walks by and "helps" him by writing a prescription for his anxiety. A lawyer walks by and "helps" by suing the person who is responsible. Then he see's his friend who jumps into the hole with him. "Why did you do that?" The friend say's I have fallen in this hole before. Come with me I know the way out.

Immediate Openings Available!

Feeling safe enough to look at what's not working in your life right now, and having a therapist with the wide range of skills to help you shift in the areas you want to, can make all the difference. We can all often not feel assertive and or able to be connected in relationships, and I can help you connect to yourself and your intuition to shift patterns that aren't serving you.

Therapy is a strange and uniquely wonderful thing that can be intimidating. However, I believe that through a holistic approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of the individual, we can decrease the discomfort. I practice in using evidence-based treatment modalities while striving for a direct and transparent working relationship.

I am a warm and compassionate person who speaks from the heart. I understand that some things are not easy to talk about and sometimes we just don’t know where to start. I do know that the unresolved issues from the past will continue to show up in our lives regardless of how much we try to ignore them. In my work as a trauma specialist, I’ve found that a lot of people are not aware of the impact that these past negative experiences can have on our relationships and day-to-day interactions with others. I am able to help educate clients more about what they’re experiencing.

Do you find yourself confused and depressed, or struggling with fear and anxiety? Perhaps you find that your past won't let you live in the present or that life is slipping by and satisfaction seems out of reach. Life can throw a thousand obstacles in your path, but at the end of the day, it's your own mind that has to navigate the ups and downs and make some sort of peace and joy out of this unpredictable experience we call life. Unfortunately, most people aren't taught to take care of, or even pay attention to, their own minds. That's where therapy can help.

I was driven to work as a therapist when I identified a need within the community around me: military spouses. I saw them handling the most high amounts of stress, and (a lot of times) not having clinical support. I began working on my clinical license soon after marrying my husband who is active-duty Air Force. I have served others and plan to continue.

Do you feel tense and anxious most of the time? Do you feel consumed with worries? So much so, that it is hard to relax and enjoy the moment? Chronic worry can rob us from enjoying the present. Perhaps this has happened to you, you have looked forward to a fun event and once you are there, it is hard to enjoy or focus on the fun because fearful thoughts intrude. Family or friends may have told you such things as “Just quit worrying.” “Relax, let it go.” “You need to move on.” "Just breathe." If it were only that simple.....

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.
