Life as you know it has changed. Whether it be suddenly or over time, everything that once was is no longer. You may be asking yourself; why me, how did this happen, am I the only one who feels this way, what, if anything could I do different, or can I actually feel better? Maybe you are telling yourself; I am all alone in this, no one will understand how I feel, I don't know where to begin and cannot imagine getting past all this. The feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, frustration or being scared are overwhelming. You're just trying to make sense of it all. It is a huge step to seek out support but you are here and not alone.

Seeking out therapy is never an easy decision, however it may be an important step in being happier and healthier. Perhaps you are struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, maybe you are experiencing a stressful change in your life, or possibly you have been thinking about seeking out therapy for a long time to address something from your past that you feel is getting in the way of your present. These feelings become overwhelming and seem like they impact every aspect of your life. My philosophy as a therapist is that you are the expert on you.

Not Currently Accepting New Clients. I know you are struggling right now. Everything in life feels overwhelming. You've always been a high achiever, been really focused on your goals, and typically have met all of them. Lately, though, nothing ever feels clear. You feel stuck. Your relationships aren't where you'd like them to be. You are stretched too thin. You sometimes even wonder if the life you created is really the life you want. All of it, added up, is causing you to feel worn out, exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel. You just want to feel better and more engaged in the things you love.

Only accepting Neurodiverse Couples currently. Hello! You're probably frustrated and lost as to what to try next, sign up for, or do to feel better. You might feel hopeless and shameful that no matter what you try, you can't get back to "you" that you're missing. Often, my clients say that they feel like they just can't seem to find the right type of therapy or connection to a therapist or find actual self care that works. Other times, some people even say past therapy felt invalidating. When we begin to feel burnout, this can impact our relationships and work in such a major way. I am here to bring hope & find easier ways to cope.

Trauma isn't always obvious. The small traumas we experience throughout life can build up within us, creating an underlying sense of discomfort, insecurity, and helplessness. It devalues our self-worth and self-esteem. It creates conflict in our relationships. It exacerbates the stress we already encounter on a day-to-day basis. I help my clients navigate the vulnerable experience of telling their story, processing their hurt, and journeying towards positive change and growth. Healing may not come easily; but it is possible with support, compassion, and determination.

I believe it is a priority as a therapist to recognize the day-to-day differences in each person's experience and adjust to match those needs in sessions. I strive to engage clients in sincere conversations about their thoughts, emotions and experiences to build insight, provide coping skills, and move toward positive change. I focus on bringing a human connection to our discussions, providing a comforting environment and authentic interaction. I enjoy the opportunity at times to bring humor and levity to sessions, while also recognizing the deep vulnerability my clients share as we engage in therapy.

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.

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.
