Seeking help to find peace with what may be causing mental or emotional anguish is not always easy, especially for those unfamiliar with the practice of therapy. With the taboo often attached to mental health, it can seem like a daunting task when managing fears of being labeled, misunderstood, judged or dismissed when discussing your struggles and needs with someone new. It takes true strength to find helpful strategies on your own, while also recognizing the need for more advanced skills and resources to further your healing and growth.

Welcome! I hope you will find the following information useful in sparking (or reigniting) your curiosity about therapy and determining if I would be a good fit to work with you or your child. The counseling I provide can be described as psychodynamic, developmental psychotherapy which aims to uncover the truth about who you really are. In short, psychotherapy teaches you to be honest. "Psychodynamic" refers to the internal motivation behind emotions, thoughts and actions. "Developmental" refers to our drive to grow and develop. And insight is the major curative factor because behaving authentically promotes emotional healing.

Therapy that really works. Here’s a truth: all healing is counterintuitive. We are asked to turn toward what hurts, not run from it. To slow down when every instinct tells us to speed up. To feel what we've spent a lifetime managing. Real change doesn’t begin in the mind—it begins in the body. In the tension in our throat or the ache in our chest. In our work together, we’ll follow those subtle signals with honesty, curiosity, and care. I offer somatic psychotherapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, harm reduction, and ketamine-assisted therapy—all grounded in an unwavering belief in your capacity to heal.

Are you motivated to make a change in your life? Are there issues in your personal life in regards to dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression, and identifying that your current coping skills are not working for you? The goal is to build awareness and knowledge and acquire skills that help you become independent in facing future challenges. I want to help you grow as an individual, and learn how to better understand yourself emotionally, and put action outside of therapy into achieving goals of independent coping with the stressors you are facing.

Think of therapy with me like being on a reality TV show. First, we have our 'intro episode' where I get to know your backstory & what brought you here. Typically, in the first two sessions, I complete an intake so that I have a deeper understanding of each client. Then, we set some 'challenges'/goals that you want to achieve. I am very open minded & receptive of any goals you may find important to work on regardless if they are typical goals or not. Each session is like an episode where we tackle different tasks. By the end, you'll have your own 'season finale' where you look back & see how far you've come, celebrating progress.

My approach to therapy is holistic and deeply personalized, recognizing that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. As a Christian Counselor, faith is a foundational element, providing hope, meaning, and a moral compass in the therapeutic journey. Clinically, I integrate evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, alongside psychodynamic techniques to explore how past experiences and relationships shape present struggles. Furthermore, I often utilize Family Systems principles to understand relationship dynamics and facilitate healthier connections.

Deep feeler, over thinker, high achiever, or people pleaser? My clients are often students, clinicians, creatives, adoptees, BIPOC, and first generations who are navigating identity, relationship dynamics, responsibilities, anxiety, depression, ADHD, overwhelm, burnout, trauma, or systemic stressors. They are often masking or silencing parts of themselves to meet expectations. Many are seeking a space where they don’t have to explain their identities or experiences, where they can feel heard and seen without judgment or fear. They want support, clarity, and autonomy to show up fully both in therapy and in their everyday lives.

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.
