I have years of experience working in the community mental health network, which has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients with diverse backgrounds and struggles. Because of my experience, I feel very confident working with nearly any client. I have a special passion for adolescents and their families. I believe that family plays a huge role in healing and should be incorporated into treatment as much as possible. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere to process concerns, while encouraging clients to use skills to change their situation.

Life sometimes leaves us with deep wounds which, left unresolved, can later appear in the form of depression, relationship struggles, anxiety, and anger. Putting on a mask for the outside world when you are falling apart inside is exhausting. With a non-judgmental lens, I see you as a person; not your past, not your actions, not your diagnoses. Are you ready to finally shed the mask and live your best life?

Healing is a healthy process our body knows how to do. Sometimes we just need support to find the process. Therapy can be this safe place to explore where we need healing in our lives. I believe your past does not define your future. I can help with emotional or physical trauma, grief and loss, healing from fear, anxiety or depression, and painful relationship changes. We can work to restore empowerment, rejuvenating a sense of hope and peace and create the vitality and life force in your being. Healing also comes with connecting with yourself and with others, developing healthy boundaries and compassion for yourself.

Injuries are difficult to recover from, made even more distressing because most of us don’t know what to expect or what to do to get “back to normal.” You are not alone. Most people have trouble getting their lives “back to normal” after being injured. It isn’t enough to simply let the injury run its course, like the flu, and expect to just go about your life like nothing happened. When you add the demands and expectations from co-workers, family, friends, providers, yourself, and even your pocketbook, this can leave you feeling like there is something wrong with you. We know your path to recovery is as unique as your fingerprints.

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.
