I strive to provide a safe, secure, and nonjudgmental space for all of my clients while maintaining a collaborative relationship. I take a person-centered approach to help my clients identify their strengths and use them to create positive changes in their lives. I allow my clients to take the lead in their sessions while providing guidance and support to help them reach their full potential in achieving a healthy lifestyle. Therapy is not a one-size fits all solution and adapting to my clients needs of support is my first priority. I offer a space for creative expression through many different forms including art and play!

My passion for art therapy is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful pathway to self-expression, personal growth, and emotional healing. Art therapy provides a safe, nonverbal space for individuals to explore complex emotions, gain insight, and make sense of their experiences.

You’ve been trying to do this alone, and you’re tired of trying. These days, your emotions feel like a minefield – where harsh words, unexpected obstacles or even "good" days can detonate uncontrollable feelings, urges, and actions. When the dust settles, you’re left in a haze of regret and shame. You’ve tried everything to numb out the thoughts and feelings entirely, and over time, other people have been pushed out, too. Alone and confused, you wonder: why does life seem easier for everyone else? Am I broken? Does anyone understand what I go through each day?

You’re great at keeping the peace, even when it costs you your own. Smart. Capable. Successful. All the boxes are checked, yet there's a heaviness. You scan the room to see if someone's upset, and worry creeps in. It's exhausting managing anxiety. You question your worth even when you’re praised. And no matter how hard you try, it never feels like enough. You’ve been carrying the weight of hurtful relationships, trauma, or neglect/abuse for a while. Whether you call it trauma or not, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt were ways to stay safe. Now, they’re keeping you stuck. Resonate? You're in the right place!

My ideal clients are adults and teens who possess one or more of these personality traits: high sensitivity, emotional intensity, or giftedness (above-average intensity, drive, complexity, and empathy). If this sounds like you, you may feel like you don't fit in or belong in the world and wonder about life's meaning and purpose. You experience many deep emotions throughout the day that no one else seems to understand, leaving you feeling lonely, guilty, ashamed, or depressed about your thoughts, behaviors, or coping methods. You may be asking yourself, "What's wrong with me?"

With working in the mental health field for 10+ years, I have not only found ways to help patients but also the chance to guide families during a difficult time. This has been an opportunity that I am grateful for. More times than not I am unfortunately recognizing that the average person has no idea what is out there to help support themselves and/or family members. Trying to navigate the mental health field can be daunting even for someone that is not struggling at the time. Allow me to be that bit of hope that you or your family member need to get on the right path.

Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

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.
