Life can look manageable on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. You may be constantly overthinking, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or repeating patterns in your relationships, work, or daily life that no longer serve you. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, carrying the impact of past experiences, or feeling stuck despite your best efforts, therapy offers the opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with young adults and adults using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that meets you where you are.

Many of my clients have been high achievers their whole lives. On the outside, things may look fine, but inside, they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Work and daily responsibilities feel heavier than they used to. They’re not sure how they ended up here, only that they can’t keep pushing the way they once did. Often, they feel distant from the people they care about, and even from themselves.
In therapy, I offer a collaborative, supportive space to slow things down and make sense of what’s been happening. We will look at patterns in relationships, emotions, and expectations that may no longer be working for you.

I'm especially drawn to supporting young adults and women navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, motherhood, and the everyday stress of balancing life's many responsibilities. I take a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that emotional well-being is shaped by many parts of life, including experiences, relationships, and daily demands. I see therapy as a space to slow down, better understand what you’re going through, and begin finding ways forward that feel supportive and realistic. You do not have to have everything figured out to start. This can simply be a place to talk, process, and feel heard.

I offer affirming therapy that is grounded in my experience as a sexologist. While individuals vary in their goals of therapy, it is common for people to hit road blocks while navigating their lives. Given our techno-driven world, it is often difficult for individuals to find the space and time to work on themselves. I help my clients discover unhealthy coping mechanisms that may be filling emotional voids and contributing to dissatisfaction in various aspects of their lives. On their path to self-discovery, my clients gain control over their mind and body so they can live life authentically.

You’re the one everyone counts on, at work, at home, in your relationships. From the outside, you’ve got it together. Inside, you’re running on empty: second-guessing yourself, keeping the peace at your own expense, so used to putting on a brave face you’re not sure what asking for help would even look like. Maybe you’re adjusting to new parenthood, moving through a major transition, or just worn down by the pressure to always be okay. The exhaustion of holding it all is real, but you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

In a sense, all therapy -- even individual therapy -- is family therapy. We carry the voices, the gazes, the expectations, the approvals and disapprovals, the deep connections to those we first knew within us throughout our lives. Therapy can help to uncover and clarify these links and engender a better understanding of our own motivations, leaving us freer to make effective decisions in our daily lives.
I view therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and patient, and I believe much of the work is accomplished through that relationship itself.

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.
