I specialize in relationship issues and relational trauma, working with adults who have histories of 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).

My identity as a person and clinician developed during my time at Randolph-Macon Woman's College where I lived among confident and intelligent women from all over the world. I learned the value of asking questions and began to understand the value of ambiguity in one's search for clarity. I believe there is goodness within us and that we deserve a chance to be our genuine selves in the presence of others. I aim to provide a safe space for self-expression and discovery. Clients are offered a confidential, non-judgmental environment where they are heard and understood.

As humans we are constantly navigating internal and external stress, expectations and criticism. When we can explore our internal landscape in the presence of a loving other, we can also discover more compassion and presence with Self. I work with individuals, couples and families who hope for change and want more from life, but have not been able to understand how they ended up in their current circumstances or patterns. Together we can identify and move through what has created resistance in your life. More Being represents consciousness, remembering who you are and living it with balance, movement, exploration and freedom.

As a specialist in marriage, trauma, and anxiety, I believe the most loving thing we can do is tell the truth. We may not be a great fit if you're looking for someone to merely validate and agree with you.

Anxiety clients; you may have persistent worry and fear that feels unshakeable, despite having tried various tools. Together, we'll explore the underlying issues that contribute to these feelings, often unveiling trauma.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are - Carl Jung… This quote has been my guiding inspiration on my own journey and in my work with others. It can be so easy to lose yourself in the day to day endeavor of living. This can be particularly true for those who have suffered with a history of trauma. Fortunately, within a trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to find yourself and become the person you truly are. I have witnessed this happen again and again.

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.
