Are you struggling with feelings of emptiness, sadness or low self-worth? Do you often feel not good enough or constantly question yourself? Is there a disconnect between who you are and who you hope to be? You are not alone. As we journey through life we encounter many obstacles that life throws our way. These may even be normal transitions of life like going to college, starting a career, marriage, parenting, divorce or grief. Some of these things are out of our control while others may be the choices that we make, but we can learn to adjust and even thrive under any of these circumstances.

I help my clients to discover (or rediscover), create, and heal themselves in meaningful ways. We’ll laugh. You’ll probably cry, but you’ll feel better. My clients are often creative - or striving to include creativity into their lives. I'm often working to help folks undo unhelpful internal dialogues and feel content with themselves. I work with couples in new, or long-term, relationships who are trying to build a solid foundation of quality communication, mutual respect, curiosity, and passion.

You feel like your family is falling apart and you don’t know what else to do. You are stressed and exhausted from all the arguments, power struggles and fights. You’ve tried everything- following your family and friends’ advice, talking, negotiating, but nothing seems to work and things only get worse. Some days, you cry in the bathroom, feeling like a complete failure.

Your anxiety, depression or trauma is making life more and more difficult. You are struggling to sleep, relax or enjoy the things you used to. Daily stressors and demands feel overwhelming; you're burnout and exhausted. You feel stuck in a vicious cycle of overthinking, perfectionism and comparing yourself to others. No matter how hard you try nothing ever feels good enough. You feel lost and alone. You often worry that you are a burden or that other’s won’t understand so you keep all the pain inside and try to manage it on your own. You are tired of waking up each day hoping it will be better and are ready for real, lasting change.

I obtained my MS degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. In 2018, I relocated from Maryland to the Tampa Bay area where I have worked in residential treatment, outpatient therapy, neuropsychology and now in private practice. From my experience, I understand how mental health issues can seem complicated. This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to mental health issues. That is why I take a creative therapeutic approach that uses evidence-based techniques uniquely suited just for you.

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.

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.

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.
