I work with children, teens, adults, and their families to help each person feel more confident, healthier, and more empowered. I am able to work with a variety of disorders ranging from, but not limited to, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and Trauma.

My goal is to work with the individual and family to help them gain the skills needed to no longer have a need for therapy.

Life is about growth. A significant component of growth is changes unique to our life events. For children and adolescents, growth and development present challenges and difficulties. However, for neurodiverse children and adolescents (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, slow processors), these challenges may be more significant. Military veterans are another unique culture I support. Our warriors work hard to protect us and accomplish their missions with honor. When they return from deployments, they often suffer from chronic pain and the after-effects of trauma, and they can have a difficult time transitioning to civilian life.

Life can feel like a whirlwind at times. If you find yourself tangled in overthinking, caught in cycles of indecision, or weighed down by low mood or motivation, I'm here to support you. Typically, you're the one with it all together—driven, self-motivated, and in tune with yourself. But sometimes, self-care takes a back seat, and you feel stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break. Often, we wait for things around us to shift, hoping for external change. Yet, true change starts from within, and I’m here to guide you on that journey.

It has been estimated that 3.3 to a reported high of 6 million people suffer from OCD in the US. OCD, in particular, continues to be misdiagnosed and as a result is often treated ineffectively.

We can work together to effectively manage your OCD, anxiety, depression or grief in a way that supports living a life that you value.

Agape- pure, selfless and unconditional. My mission is to provide individuals with a therapist that is culturally competent, providing holistic and wellness focused services that help transform personal challenges into life enhancing opportunities.

I see clients of all ages and who are dealing with major life changes, traumatic events, relationship problems, and anxiety and depression. The clients I work with are dedicated to making meaning changes in their life, looking to heal from past wounds, and engaged in understanding the nature of their problems better. When people walk through my door, they are taking an important step in vulnerability and relinquishing a sense of control. They are admitting what we all have to admit: that we are broken. However, they recognize another truth: their potential to solve those problems and the choice to take responsibility for their life.

Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions or disconnected from yourself and others? Are you an adolescent or adult experiencing a time of personal crisis, wrestling with challenges such as identity struggles, relationship issues, and emotional regulation difficulties? I offer a compassionate, culturally aware approach for those coping with trauma, anxiety, and substance use issues, particularly during transitional phases that can feel isolating or destabilizing. I believe that reconnecting with yourself and exploring complex feelings through expressive arts can unlock paths to resilience and growth.

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.
