If you're here, I imagine you're a rockstar by all observable accounts. On the outside, you seem to be "thriving," but on the inside you're overwhelmed, burned out, and emotionally exhausted. You’ve tried all the "right" things: working more hours, eating fewer calories, doing more “self care”... but you still hear that voice in your head: "I'm not good enough." The good news is, you're not alone, and professional counseling can help you. In our work together, you'll renew your sense of hope, and finally learn to apply your grit, creativity, and natural compassion to how you see yourself.

My ideal clients are smart and motivated. But something’s not clicking. They aren’t landing offers, and they don’t know why. They ask for feedback but get vague responses. Deep down, they know they’re shaping themselves into what they think employers want, rather than presenting who they truly are. While interviewing skills are often what bring people to me, I support the full career journey—from clarifying your goals to finding work that fits who you are. Together, we uncover what drives you so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

I work with people who have spent their lives pushing through pain and fear- usually without even realizing the toll it’s taken. They've survived trauma they wouldn’t call "trauma," believed they've been the problem, and are there for everyone else yet struggle to validate their own experiences. My goal as.a therapist is to co-create a space where it is safe for clients to do courageous work- because the convergence of safety and discomfort is where healing happens. Through our work together, clients let go of the pressure to be a different person and instead revel in being more "them" than they've ever been.

I am a mental health professional with a strong passion for helping people and understanding what drives human behavior. My interest began with a love for storytelling in movies and theater, where I explored emotions and relationships. This led me to study psychology and focus on making a difference in people’s lives. I use my life experiences to connect with patients and create personalized, supportive care. I also study how society affects mental health and advocate for care that is accessible and free of stigma. Through therapy, outreach, and advocacy, I aim to support individuals and build a more caring, healthier world.

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.
