Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and I work with my clients to tailor therapy to meet their needs. Everyone is different and experiences many challenges in life. To better serve my clients, I start where the client is. With the client’s help, I determine the goals of therapy and we work together to achieve those goals. This process works even if people do not know what they want from therapy except to feel better. Therapy involves many layers and it’s my job as a clinician to guide them through those layers.

I believe that everyone possesses tools to overcome any challenge in life. There are times when life has us feeling stuck and we need help finding the key to our tool box. With all the hurdles life throws, we can be left feeling hopeless, leaving us to forget tools that have helped through past obstacles. To help individuals and families overcome these life challenges, I use a strengths based approach and other evidenced-based approaches to help individuals and families reclaim their fortitude in life.

Life isn’t one size fits all, your healing shouldn’t be either. Life isn’t easy and sometimes we need to talk things through to gain a new perspective. Other times, we are struggling with something we don’t think anyone could ever understand. Let’s work together to make sense of your thoughts and emotions so you can get back to your life. In a world that is increasingly chaotic and isolating, building supportive communities is a necessity. The first step is developing skills and rediscovering your own strength.

Trauma focused therapy is something I care deeply about, because I know how much our past experiences can shape the way we move through the world. When you’ve been through something hard—whether recently or years ago—it can leave emotional scars that affect everything from your relationships to how you see yourself, how you make decisions, and even how safe you feel day to day. I understand that everyone’s journey with trauma is different—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. That’s why trauma therapy is about creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. There’s no pressure to rush the process.

We all have an innate goodness, natural spontaneity and potential. We tend to disconnect from it in response to painful experiences. It is a natural, even genetic program, to want happiness and joy in life. The frantic attempt to numb or avoid pain,results in denial of joy and natural spontaneity. My commitment as a therapist is facilitation of healing and transformation towards joy and connection. I use a Holistic approach, seek authenticity, and believe that each person's uniqueness can bring inner peace, extend to family, and enhance relationships. The happiness we generate extends to others and then returns.

As a therapist, I believe in empathy. Unconditional positive regard is high on my list of priorities when interacting with clients of mine. I believe that we are all, more alike than different. I seek to rid stigmas and to do away with labels. We are greater, together! I seek to make therapy feel easy peasy! I take an eclectic approach when dealing with each client because everyone is different. At times, I blend treatment modalities in an effort to meet clients where they are, while finding what works. Easy dialogue is the vehicle that makes things cohesive.

Do you ever find yourself struggling just to get through the day? Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed out over minor issues and events? Do you wake up in the morning dreading the day before you? Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, and angry.....lashing out at others which only compounds these bad feelings? Have you had thoughts of just wanting to "run away" or "give up"? Emotions can be wonderful, but they can also get out of hand and lead you to make poor decisions or to act in ways that create more problems.

My approach to helping is based on my client's perspective rather than my own. I contend that appreciating and respecting the client's experience for what it is, is essential to productive therapeutic growth. I view counseling as a highly personal and subjective experience, where developing an empathic, connected and trusting relationship is imperative; it is through the safety of this connection that clients can work toward positive change. While I have had extensive experience working with a wide variety of clients, my specializations include women's issues (including domestic violence and trauma), relationships, GLBTQI issues, pregnancy/infertitility issues, internet addiction and couples work.

Dealing with addiction can be very difficult and overwhelming to deal with alone. Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone but anyone can overcome addiction. Drug abuse and addiction problems can be devastating, not only to the individual but to the family as well. Knowing that you are not alone is the first step to ease your mind. Everyone with an addiction problem has their own story that should be individualized not judged but heard. Identifying the biological, environmental, behavioral, and social causes and consequences of drug use and addiction is just some of the steps that we will face together.

If you are felling burdened by life's challenges, choices, past trauma, or struggling with symptoms of mental health diagnoses, NOW is the time to have someone who is on your side, which means that sometimes you WILL be challenged, and sometimes you WILL be affirmed and your situations will be normalized. A lot of the times, though, this means that we will sit in those areas in between, which are often times messy, confusing, unsettling, and uncomfortable. You will have me with you, so you do not have to struggle through it all alone. We will embark on this journey hand in hand.

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.
