I am passionate about helping clients move past the labels they come in with. Many of us carry labels from diagnoses we've received or given ourselves, as well as negative core beliefs such as feeling like a failure, a mistake, or not good enough. My goal is to help clients move beyond these labels and see themselves as they were truly created to be. I strive for each client to leave their sessions feeling stronger, wiser, and capable of forming deeper relationships, grounded in their true selves. I meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively to address their therapeutic goals. Click on my website to get started!

Whether its anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, or life transitions, I’m confident that we can work one-on-one or in a group setting (family and friends can attend depending on the need).

Looking for an integrative approach for our own wellness journey? Do you find yourself in search of wholeness and balance of being but are looking for some assistance in your personal journey? While we all have intuition that drives us, sometimes we need a bit of help from others. Wellness begins not only with respecting all that we are and all that life’s journey presents us but also with acknowledging that sometimes we need just a little help. From a place of love and acceptance, together we can find the path to develop, grow and honor the best version of ourselves.

I'm often asked, what made you decide to become a therapist? I know the pain people have, I've lived it too. Often life presents us with challenging situations. It is our perception of these transitions and life altering occurrences that pave the road to self-discovery and release our fullest potential. I believe we all have an innate capacity to heal and grow. As a psychotherapist I enjoy working with clients that are motivated and willing to build a more balanced, meaningful, and rewarding life.

You may feel restless, like something’s not quite right. You may want to heal wounds, discover your purpose, feel more alive. Old ways of being are not quite working for you anymore. You want more - to be more yourself, to more fully embody your purpose, to have more fulfilling moments. To feel more connected, more like you belong, more sweetness. You have a sense that you're meant for something more than the mundane, the 9-5, the checking all the boxes. But you feel lost. You're not sure how to get where you want to go.

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.
