Have you recently experienced a loss or are having difficulty in a relationship? Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety or depression? These challenges can be scary and overwhelming, but they can provide an opportunity for positive change and growth. I believe that there are different ways to approach a challenging situation and I want to walk alongside others as they figure out what works best for them. I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where you can share your struggles and stressors, reflect on your past experiences, find solutions, and create new meaning in your life.

You’re feeling empty and alone. You didn’t want this for your life and can’t imagine how you’ll move forward. You thought that you could trust your own decision-making, but now you’re questioning everything. You wonder where things went wrong. You’re tired of dating the same person over and over again, and you’re ready to love yourself. It’s time to put yourself first. You want to stop creating fantasies about who people are, and start seeing them for who they really are. You want to be able to trust your gut and listen to your intuition. You want to feel whole inside, and confident in your decisions.

Are you or your loved ones grappling with irritability or fatigue? Do you struggle to sleep, focus, or simply get through the day? It is possible that the emotions you are experiencing—be it anger, sadness, anxiety, or a sense of social isolation within your household—stem from a mood disorder, grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stressors, the passing of a loved one, shifts in physical health, divorce, or other significant life changes can stir up a whirlwind of emotions and physical strain. However, remember that you're not alone, and there are avenues of help and hope available.

WolfMind is a comeback story for our brain – yours and mine. It is about reclaiming what’s been lost. For me, that loss was profound: untreated traumatic brain injury (TBI), complex trauma, and years of struggling with deep depression, anxiety, fatigue, and memory loss. I found profound and lasting benefits in Neurofeedback (Othmer Method) that traditional medicine simply could not provide. Neurofeedback is used to support self-regulation in areas such as ADHD, complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, MCI, insomnia, social anxiety, achieving zen meditative states on your own, stroke recovery, seizures, and mental sharpness.

Everyone struggles sometimes, but there are times when we need help to get through those struggles and therapy is a really good way to do just that! Some of the struggles that people come to talk to me about include procrastination, lack of motivation, worry, and difficulty enjoying life in general. If you find that things just don’t seem to be working out the way they “used to” or maybe you’ve just never quite gotten the hang of things, let’s see if we can’t figure out what’s going on and discuss how to get your life going in a different direction.

While my style is eclectic, I consider myself a “systemic” and “narrative” therapist. I believe that the systems we are in play a profound role in how we experience identity, and that our sense of well-being largely comes from nurturing community and feelings of social belonging. When there is disharmony in our community, in our families, in our relationships, or in our work cultures, we often experience disharmony in our sense of self. Therapy, then, invites self-exploration and encourages us to try out different roles or to make noise within those systems- shock them, as they say.

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.
