Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to keep everything together - work, school, relationships, and family responsibilities - while quietly struggling with anxiety and self-doubt? Life transitions, grief, trauma, complicated family dynamics, body image struggles or binge eating, and hormonal shifts can leave us feeling stuck. Social justice concerns and national and global events add another layer of stress. Therapy is your space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and move forward with more calm and confidence.

I create a warm, supportive space for my clients where they are free to be themselves without the pressures of society and others. Therapy is a unique space where you can show up as is and begin to process and understand yourself and the root of your behaviors. I support clients with family and relational issues, communication, loneliness, school and work stress.

Clients often come to me when they feel like they’ve been “holding it together” a long time and can’t anymore. They may be dealing with constant worry, overthinking, irritability, low motivation, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Some are struggling with communication in relationships, unresolved past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities. I work with women across the perinatal spectrum who may be navigating emotional changes during pregnancy, postpartum, or adjusting to new roles and expectations. Others come in simply knowing something doesn’t feel right and want support in figuring it out.

Though therapy can be scary to start for some people, many find it invigorating and life-changing. Feel free to call or email me, and we can chat about whether therapy would be beneficial.

When it comes to our lives and sense of self, our inner wisdom can become drowned out by the noise of circumstance and context. I believe that therapy is a journey that allows us to hear that wisdom again (or for the first time) and ultimately, (re) connect to ourselves. It is a space where we can explore the different parts of ourselves, where we befriend and harmonize with our inner characters, bringing our inner world into better alignment so that we can find peace in our external world. Therapy also involves exploring ways in which we can build a soul-nourishing community, both internally and externally, for ourselves.

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.
