Are you feeling totally overwhelmed? Completely overextended as a woman? Burnt out? Stuck? Resentful? Totally divorced from your pleasure? Maybe your body feels like a mystery no one has the time—or patience—to help you figure out? Perhaps you're a healthcare provider (or any woman) giving so much to others that there’s nothing left for yourself. Or maybe you're navigating PCOS, thyroid issues, chronic illness or just feeling "over it" all, and you’re starting to wonder if this constant exhaustion and frustration is your reality...forever.

You want to feel self-confident and comfortable in your own skin, but there's this anxious dread that keeps getting in the way. You overthink. You second-guess. You've gotten good at showing the world that everything is fine, even when you're quietly exhausted on the inside. You're tired of that gap between who you appear to be and how you actually feel. And somewhere underneath the noise, you know something needs to change. That's where we start. Together, we'll slow down and get honest about what's really going on. Not just the symptoms, but the deeper patterns underneath them.

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. Maybe communication turns into conflict, intimacy feels distant, or the transition into parenthood has strained your partnership. You might be navigating infertility, postpartum anxiety or depression, or questioning whether your relationship can improve. You want clarity, deeper connection, and tools that actually work.

Many of my clients have difficult family relationships, struggle with boundaries, and are working on finding love from within, rather than externally. Through a genuine and trust-centered therapy relationship, my job is to create room for exploration and self-acceptance so that my clients’ lives can improve.

“Survival is insufficient.” It doesn’t matter if you came to this phrase from Star Trek or Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven. Humans are able to do so much more than simply “survive.” Have you just been "surviving"? Are you using substances, disruptive behaviors and rumination to escape your difficulties in life? My approach and counseling technique is working together with you to learn to do more, create more, explore more, love more.

Hello! Life can be difficult, confusing, or lonely these days and it can help to have someone to talk to. I am here to listen and help you figure out what you are feeling and wanting right now in your life, as well as how to get that. I am more humanistic and feeling oriented than formula or diagnosis based. With a background in psychodynamic therapy, I can also help you understand how or why your patterns may have developed. Plus, I schedule every session for a minimum of 60 minutes (not 50 or 55 min.), to provide the possibility of going a little longer than one hour whenever the client needs extra time

I'm passionate about helping people create and live their best life. I believe everyone can experience their dream life when they have support and a clear direction. I love helping people reconnect, or uncover, their life’s passions through exploring past experiences and identifying what brings them joy and purpose. I started Atomic Souls because I know so many people who believe therapy is boring, too clinical, and quite frankly unhelpful. I hope to challenge that narrative about counselors by bringing creativity, fun, and passion into counseling.

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.
