Life can be difficult at times and can bring challenges that affect our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. In my many years of counseling experience I have worked with client's to deal with the day to day challenges that life presents as well as treating serious mental health conditions. Loss of a loved one, conflict at home or ,work can often be triggers for anxiety and depression and clients can benefit greatly from the supportive and unbiased and supportive approach that psychotherapy offers. Such types of therapy are offered in my practice with individual therapy.

Brené Brown says that disappointment happens when expectations don't meet reality. If you are expecting a therapist who offers brief, solution, or behavior-focused therapy, I am not a good fit for you. I'd rather be the Sam to your Frodo, aka "I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you." If you don't get that reference, then "these are not the droids you're looking for." I thrive working with the complex, quirky clients who worry they are too broken, too weird, or too much. ADHD, ASD, PTSD, and LGBTQIA clients are my jam, along with folks who have left a religious or high control group and are deconstructing. I see you.

I know accepting help from anyone - let alone a stranger - is hard. My hope is to create a feeling of safety and support for you to feel seen, heard, and empowered as you create the life you deserve to live. In a supportive environment like therapy, you can gain insight into who you are, what you feel, and what you need, allowing you to form a life that is manageable and enjoyable. I think many of us may know what it is about our lives that isn't working for us, but we might not know what to do about it or how to "get there". And most of all, we just need someone to genuinely care about our journey and believe in our abilities.

It feels like no matter how hard you try, that somehow you always end up right back where you started. Whether it is trauma, anxiety, depression, being plagued by nagging self-doubts, or life just feeling hard, it is taking a toll. The bending and contorting yourself to be what others think you should be leaves you feeling anxious or depressed and disconnected from yourself. And then there are those experiences that you just don’t talk about. The shame and guilt feel like too much. Every day feels harder than the last and you are so ready for that to change. Ready for healing and reclaiming yourself.

Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by recent changes in your life, or just want to function better? I help clients navigate changes in their life and discover long term ways to manage their overall mental health. I work well with adult 18 + clients who are experiencing a life transition (starting/graduating college, career change, recent marriage), depression/anxiety, chronic medical issues (or recent diagnosis) or those in helping professions. As a mixed-raced person, I also enjoy exploring the many intersectional layers that come with trying to understand our own identity.

I am passionate about counseling, coaching, and consulting as pathways to support growth and healing. My approach integrates modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and humanistic-existential frameworks.

I believe that all persons have the basic right to be heard. We all have experiences that make us who we are, some of which we may need or wish to explore further or heal from. Together in counseling we can create a safe place to work toward agreed upon goals. Neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, and depression are a few of the areas I have experience in.

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.
