I have dedicated my entire career to providing human service and helping others. It has been in the field of childcare, to public education, and now mental health. It is my pleasure working with individuals across a wide spectrum of ages, cultures, and concerns. Whether you would like someone to listen to you, offer guidance, or need help navigating a crisis, it is my pleasure, and the reason I'm here. My ideal client is anyone who recognizes a need for help, can accept help, and is committed to the work required to bring about the requested changes. In the meantime, know that you are not alone.

I help adults move through anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and life transitions, with an affirming space for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients. Many of the people I work with are in a lot of pain but they "look fine". They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and they are exhausted from carrying it alone. Pain is a part of life but you don't have to face it by yourself. Therapy can help relieve some of the mental weight you have been shouldering and help you feel more like yourself again.
My approach is trauma informed so I focus on helping you feel safe and supported.

Feeling thoughtful and self-aware with a lingering sense of disconnection, anxiety, or uncertainty about who you are or sensing something isn’t quite right beneath the surface, are places I love to focus our work together. That might look like repeating patterns that don’t quite make sense, acting in ways that don’t feel aligned (doing or saying things that don’t reflect how you actually feel), or carrying a low-grade heaviness you can’t easily explain. That experience can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even isolating, but it’s also a meaningful place to begin.

Resilience (verb). To develop gradually by a process of growth and change.
Change is an inevitable condition of life. Sometimes we desire and seek it; other times, change finds us unexpectedly. At times, we may feel that something is just not right, yet we may not know why. Whether you are yearning for transformation, facing unforeseen shifts, or feeling stuck, I warmly welcome you to the journey of therapy—an invitation to explore, grow, and heal together. Therapy is a sacred space where a trusting relationship is cultivated between two compassionate guides.

I work with partners navigating the pain of infidelity, addiction, and betrayal—challenges that can deeply damage trust, but don’t have to end the relationship. Repair is possible.

My interest in the above topics has led me to write a book i Inside the Therapy Room. Coming this Summer!

Are you the dependable one? Someone who looks put together and capable on the outside, but feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally shut down on the inside. If you’re stuck in high-conflict relationships, emotions can feel intense or hard to manage. You might swing between shutting down and reacting strongly, replay arguments in your mind, or rely on control and perfectionism just to feel safe. Over time, these patterns can leave relationships feeling exhausting and painfully stuck.

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.
