I hear you. I see you. And I understand. Have you had times when you have sat in pain and confusion, felt stuck in repetitive, self-destructive patterns, felt fearful and overwhelmed and not been able to see a clear way out? Connection, insight and support help. The therapeutic alliance between a therapist and their client is a sacred space based on trust and connection and has the power to change a “survivor” into a “thriver.” I welcome the opportunity to work together to explore the thoughts, core beliefs, and behaviors that might be keeping you feeling trapped and treading water and existing rather than in living fully.

The past informs the present to help the future. Although we are not the sum of our problems, our early experiences with caregivers heavily influence how we operate in every aspect of life. I focus on helping people to overcome the challenges of trauma and PTSD symptoms and to understand the influence of these on relationships. An important part of the work I do is assisting loved ones of people with addiction who often find themselves dealing with significant anxiety, depressive symptoms, and relationship difficulties.

Therapy is a journey and commitment to bettering yourself and it speaks volumes to your readiness for change that you are searching for a therapist. Clients I see most often are looking to seek relief from what often feels like the never ending spiral of anxious thoughts. They want relief from the physical symptoms that come along with anxiety, and they want to know how to worry less about the issues in their life that are consuming them. Often working on boundaries, anxiety management techniques, and processing difficult times in their lives or relationships can be the key to relief from many of these issues.

*Not taking new clients at this time* Therapy is about making the decision that something in your life isn’t working & needs to change so you no longer feel overwhelmed and out of control. Histories of addiction, trauma, unsafe coping skills, grief & loss, anxiety, depression and chronic pain are just some of the challenges that sabotage a life of well-being. It is possible to learn & use new coping skills and change negative patterns of behavior to be empowered to explore your world with confidence and a new passion for life.

I assist young adults in identifying their needs to increase their confidence in entering into the world. I also work with new mothers to assist them in adjusting to motherhood and managing new responsibilities. I am a firm believer in the power of the therapy relationship. A combination of support and challenge can help cultivate trust, confidence, and assertiveness. My clients have confirmed that their new knowledge and confidence is then carried over into their daily lives.

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.
