I have been in practice 17 years and have opened my service area thanks to Google Meet & FaceTime. I became a therapist (I have a dual degree in both individual & family therapy) after beginning my own work 25 years ago. I see therapy as a tool & a valuable asset. I believe we can pull from our history & present, the things that work, AND leave behind the things that don’t, so our future can be everything we want. My approach is very adaptive. I see clients as individuals, beautifully different and I will use a variety of approaches to help you meet your goals along the way.

Do you struggle with managing responsibilities and feel overwhelmed by work, home duties, and relationships? Do you end up exhausted, drained, and with little left for yourself by the end of the week? Are you wondering how to break the cycle and find balance? Now more than ever, people feel anxious and uncertain about juggling it all. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live better, and that meaningful change is possible.

As a single parent who raised three children, I know firsthand the challenges of raising a family on your own. I’ve walked the path you're on—and now that my kids are grown, I’m passionate about helping others navigate the complexities of parenting, singleness, divorce, and blended families, as well as guiding young adults through life’s choices. Life often offers more possibilities than we realize, but when you’re overwhelmed, it’s easy to feel trapped or out of options.

I work with the person as a whole being, and am willing to address issues of spirituality if the client chooses. I have particular expertise in dealing with emotional issues and relationship healing.5

Deciding to look for a therapist can be tough. From everyday stress to important life transitions, events, and trauma, counseling is helpful for anyone. Through exploring barriers that you put up for your self and what life throws at you, you can achieve emotional health. During counseling, I believe it is necessary and effective to challenge clients on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors they hold. This directive approach can result in feelings of empowerment and self-understanding.

One of the common threads to the people I have seen over the past 27+ years is their sense of shame. Shame messages are messages that say you're "worthless" and that you just "won't measure up." People who struggle with shame feel like something is wrong with them. It is probably the most painful of our feelings. I will help you resolve the roots that caused your shame. This is the engine that drives all kinds of self-esteem issues, addictive disorders, and mood disorders. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist.

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.
