Overwhelm has become a way of life lending to feelings of anxiety, depression and disconnect. This leads to disruptions relationally with others and ourselves. Understanding how we think, feel, and behave can begin with better self-worth, mood and relationships. I’m not a nod-and-smile, vanilla sort of therapist. You’ll find that I curse, will call you out, hold you accountable, and hopefully leave you laughing and inspired. If I am not REAL, how I can expect my clients to show up in their authentic self? And when you feel safe to be real with me, we can work on how that carries over into the rest of your life.

When we are in the midst of some tough situations, we can be blind to what the options are for improving our lives. Sometimes just dealing with the emotional impact is hard enough. We can be so engaged by the emotional upset itself that it is often hard to see beyond it to solutions. In therapy, we have a partner whose sole function is promoting our well-being. Someone who has the experience and training to help us handle the emotional impact while providing insight as to how we can become better at managing challenging situations, improving our relationships, shifting our perspectives and ultimately living a more peaceful, happier

As a veteran and retired state trooper, I have experienced the impact of the accumulation of stress from multiple critical incidents in addition to the need for confidentiality. You may feel like no one in your organization values or respects your dedication and that hurts the core of who you are. You loved your job, but now it feels like you don't recognize who you used to be and hide your suffering from those who know you best. You are afraid that a therapist can not relate to what you have been through, and fear your teammates will think you're weak.

Life can be incredibly challenging, especially when you're dealing with the weight of early life adversity, intense emotions, or relationship struggles. The effects of trauma, invalidation, or consistent relational trauma can leave lifelong impacts and make it feel impossible to navigate life effectively. These experiences can make it hard to see a way forward, but there is; and you don't have to move forward with this alone. You're taking a brave step by seeking help. I believe there is a path to healing and it starts with a non-judgmental, affirming, and validating environment.

Life is a journey - it’s path can be easy to navigate or can have twists and turns that we never expected. Sometimes, we veer off the path altogether and find ourselves lost. I want to help you to get back on your path and become the best version of yourself. I believe that the time people spend outside of therapy is even more important than the time spent in it. I focus on teaching skills that can be utilized in real world settings and help ease distress and improve overall function in life. I will work with you to form concrete, attainable goals and guide you along the path towards achievement.

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.
