Seeking support is a sign of strength. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and my work is strongly influenced by my own life experiences. I know firsthand how going through hard things can hold you back. With the right tools and support, though, it’s possible to work through the past and move toward the life you’ve been dreaming of. I work with teens and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and school-related stress. I also support young adults and families who have experienced homelessness, relationship struggles, or feel stuck when it comes to setting and reaching goals.

Accepting new clients! There seems to be a shifting of realization in our communities that we are not all well-adjusted, emotionally competent, or even as happy as we believe we are. Culturally, we are in a twilight zone where we have so much prosperity; connectivity in the world; and endless entertainment. And yet the rates for crippling anxiety are rising. People are reporting depressed moods and general dissatisfaction with life. Worse yet, we all seems to be looking for answers in our unhealthy relationships; harming our bodies; avoiding our responsibilities; or even turning to the bottle. I believe everyone deserves better.

You may be successful, capable, and dependable, yet privately exhausted from carrying so much for so long. Maybe you've spent years being the strong one, the caretaker, the peacekeeper, or the person everyone else can count on. You show up for others, but struggle to show up for yourself. You second-guess your decisions, question your needs, and find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns, even though you know better.

Have you tried talk therapy and felt that, while valuable, it was taking a long while? I interweave treatment modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing and EMDR, in a warm and caring way that creates an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance which is tempered by the ability to challenge clients for optimal growth. I believe that the best answers in treatment arise from within the client, while also knowing that the right insight at the right time can support psychological and spiritual 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.
