Picture this: a welcoming and safe space where you can kick back and chat about whatever's on your mind. I get it. I've been there - and I'm all about empowering you. Low self-esteem? Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Life inherently can bring so many complexities and challenges, perhaps you’re not sure where to start. Whatever it is, let's tackle it together with an approach rooted in genuine understanding and empowerment. Together, we'll unravel the layers, challenge those negative self-perceptions, and build a foundation of self-worth. I'm not here to just talk; I'm here to guide you in discovering the strength within yourself.

Many of the stresses and conflicts my clients face can be due to life’s experiences and losses or can come from within. Stress and conflict can lead to disintegration of relationships with our partners and our children, and even in how we view ourselves. Strengthening coping skills, emotional connection and intimacy can help repair fractures, increase compassionate understanding, and build closeness. Focusing on positive growth, shifting well-engrained patterns, and building greater self-acceptance can create lasting change and happiness.

Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adjusting? Do you struggle to believe that you ARE capable of finding the light through the dark road you're traveling? If so, I truly get it. I can professionally and personally attest to the challenges AND triumphs of getting through big life transitions. While I wish I could get rid of all difficult emotions and experiences you're facing, my goal is to help you move through them more effectively. You deserve to live in a better way and "better" IS possible.

I believe in being an active participant in the therapy process. I feel it is important that the client not be the only one working in therapy and that it is both empowering and healing to feel that you are collaborating with another person in this emotional journey.

Finding success in our careers can sometimes cause us to lose sight of the things that help us stay in balance. Before we know it, parts of our lives feel out of alignment. Perhaps you start to feel "on-edge," always waiting for "the other shoe to drop." Perhaps you forget to breathe, your muscles feel too tight, or sleeping becomes a challenge. Maybe relationships feels challenging and it's hard to "turn off." You may even begin to believe the biggest lie of them all; that you can't have career success and also be well. We all have the power to heal ourselves. Therapy helps us access that ability.

Therapy can be challenging, especially starting, whether it's your first time or you are looking for a new therapist. By providing a safe space for you to talk, we will explore your goals and obstacles to them. I will listen, and I will be honest, helping you on this journey called life. Maybe you are looking for help with relationships, or with anxiety, with career, or ADHD, or maybe a life transition. These are some of the issues I work with.

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.
