Do you find yourself at a crossroads and in need of some support? While change can be scary it can also offer new opportunities for growth and insight. Transitions can light up the unhealed parts of us, and make it difficult to discern our truth from the stories we’ve been told about who others think we are. My role in this is to help you discern what you want to take with you along the way and explore with you what’s standing in the way of you living your most authentic life.

I believe anyone can benefit from counseling. We all lead busy lives in an increasingly complex world; at its most basic, counseling offers a set time and place for a person to slow down, catch their breath, and talk through parts of their life in the service of making it better. Whether you want to know yourself more deeply, process impactful life events or relationships, heal from mental or emotional pain, or further develop aspects of yourself for a better quality of life, I aim to help my clients with these goals and others.

As a queer Black, Indigenous therapist, I specialize in queer-affirmative therapy, sex therapy, racial & sexual identity formation, minority stress, and intergenerational trauma. I collaborate with clients through a social justice-oriented, culturally responsive, and systems-informed framework while rooted in a decolonial-based approach. This typically looks like working with individual adults who may be QTBIPOC, neurodiverse, navigating systemic inequities & oppression, struggling with life transitions, or someone experiencing the heaviness and despair of human suffering that may manifest as grief, loss, depression, and/or anxiety.

We all desire acceptance, love, and to be truly seen by our community. However, our experiences can sometimes make it challenging to feel that love and acceptance. When exploring sexual and gender identities, not living authentically can lead to anxiety and depression. At other times, being part of the queer community is just one aspect of who we are, and it can be a relief to explore other life issues with a counselor who affirms and understands our sexual and gender identity. I am supervised by Beck Munsey, PhD, LPC-S.

We all face challenges living in a world that is smaller, more interconnected yet often divisive. Personal, family, community, workplace relationships are all necessary yet can be a source of distress, discomfort and pain. Being part of a smaller community (LGBTQIA, racial/ethnicity diverse, ASD/neurodiverse, special needs, etc) bring other challenges or complications due to the community/environment we live, study and work in. Basically, life can periodically be overwhelming and finding people who can provide a place for us to be safe and vulnerable can make a big difference in our lives.

You feel stuck. You might know what is going on for you and why, but there is something that keeps you from moving forward in your life. You have resigned that your depression, anxiety, or the impacts of your trauma will be part of your life indefinitely. You might recognize the patterns in your relationship that keep creating or maintaining issues, but it has been hard to interrupt those or to take the step that requires a little more vulnerability. Traditional talk therapy and/or medication may have helped, but not enough. It may be time to try something different.

I understand that mental health isn’t in the mind alone, but part of a system that includes physical, emotional and relational well-being. My clients often struggle with trauma, anxiety or have experienced loss. Many find it hard to be vulnerable. Relationships struggle, daily life hurts, and traditional approaches to healing just don’t seem to help.

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.
