I come from a background of teaching English with a stint in College and Career advising. I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults for over 30 years in this capacity, as well as in a variety of volunteer roles. My professional journey has taught me that, at their core, every person has intrinsic worth, and they are wonderful just as they are. They are not their behaviors, but, rather, their behaviors may indicate there's something that has yet to be addressed, acknowledged and treated. As an Associate Marriage and Family therapist, I approach this process by thinking about you and the relationships you share.

I work with adults who’ve experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, betrayal, and loss. When these experiences haven’t been resolved, they can manifest in a range of ways—as symptoms (anxiety, depression, anger, stress); or as compulsive behaviors (substance abuse, self-injury, sexuality that feels out of control, disordered eating, internet use).

You've carried things most people will never understand. What it's like to run toward danger, lose someone to addiction, or wake up at 3am with your mind at war with itself. Maybe you've spent years being strong for everyone else and forgotten what it feels like to exhale. You don't need to have it figured out before we talk. Whether you're wrestling with trauma, stuck in a cycle you can't break, or quietly struggling with anxiety or depression, you deserve support that actually meets you where you are, not where you think you should be.

Do you find yourself wanting to explore and live a more authentic and meaningful life but feel lost, scared, and uncertain about how to move forward? Clients I work with feel distress in relationships, turmoil within themself, and disconnection from those around them. They may engage in unhealthy coping skills such as lashing out in anger, school or work avoidance, anxiety, depression, addiction, and disengagement from social life and family. They may think, feel, and see the world differently than those around them. If this sounds familiar I can help turn that “midlife crisis” into a Mid Life Awakening filled with fulfillment.

Perhaps you've spent so much of your life surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly live. You may be the one who appears strong for everyone else while quietly carrying anxiety, trauma, grief, or a deep sense of disconnection. No matter how hard you try, the same painful patterns keep pulling you back, leaving you wondering why healing feels just out of reach. I believe your symptoms are not signs that something is wrong with you—they are evidence that your mind and body have been doing their best to protect you. Therapy is an opportunity to gently understand those protective patterns, heal the wounds beneath them,

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost? Are you struggling to connect to yourself or in your close relationships? Do you "know" that you want to be different, but struggling to enact the change you are looking for? Together, we can address the old patterns and stories keeping you stuck. I believe that combining traditional talk therapy approaches with somatic and attachment-based interventions can help you learn how to work with your nervous system rather than fighting against it.

Life is complicated and challenging, but you are not alone. Sometimes having someone to talk through emotional situations, help get your thoughts organized, and get on track to make some positive changes can make all the difference in how you feel and what the direction of your life looks like. Everybody goes through life changes, grief and loss, fear and anxiety, depression, or interpersonal conflict, and many people struggle with addiction, or even more serious health and mental health challenges. But you aren't the first person to feel like this, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

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.
