You haven’t even opened your eyes & yet, there it is – that weird pit in your stomach, the tightness in your chest. Do you ignore it & rally? Or do you stay under the covers & write this day off before it even begins? If only! Work’s a stress-fest. Your squad’s demanding more than you can give & you've been feeling disconnected from your sass & sparkle, lately. This dreams-to-drudge trajectory wasn’t on your vision board & you’re feeling pretty spent. You notice your inner voice whispering,”Take a beat, Girl. You’ve got this, just breathe.” But, even your typically optimistic self is starting to doubt these words. ENTER: Therapy.

The decision to seek assistance from someone outside of your family, social, and work circles takes courage regardless of the reason. This step may seem like a giant leap when you typically consider yourself a self-sufficient, problem-solving, working professional! I strive to create a healthy therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe enough to identify strengths and areas for growth to overcome the barriers to your goals. I have particular interest in assisting working professionals who are struggling with grief, loss, and men's issues.

Maybe things are breaking through and making sense, but you still don't feel good. Maybe you feel frustrated, not really understanding how you got here. Maybe there are worries and conflicts and needs that you just can't avoid anymore. Or maybe you've been working so hard to try and see change and wonder how much longer you can keep going like this. If you're looking for a safe, warm, accepting space to process your feelings and experiences one-on-one, or a place for you and your partner to meaningfully connect and figure out what else is possible, I'd love to meet, hear your story, and help you create something new in the present.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults managing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, perinatal stressors, and relationship concerns. My focus is on utilizing treatment modalities that research shows is effective, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Through these treatment modalities I collaborate with clients to better understand how past and current experiences impact their current struggles, and where changes can be implemented to meet treatment goals and improve their emotional health.

Life is full of challenges that can be overwhelming and make us feel powerless. These challenges can often lead to feeling lost or stuck and can create an environment where we lose sight of happiness, enjoyment, and sometimes our own self-worth. The feelings of sadness, stress, anxiety, and anger that come along with these obstacles can at times seem unmanageable and make us feel lonely and unsure of how to get through them.

I have been working in the field of psychotherapy since 2004, helping clients cope primarily with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life changes. My undergraduate degree is from the University of Missouri, and I taught Language Arts on the high school level for two years. As a teacher, the limits of the classroom environment prevented me from reaching many of my troubled students, which led me to pursue a graduate degree from Loyola University-Chicago in Community Counseling.

Psychotherapy is for anyone who could use help sorting through the confusing experience of living a life. Anxiety and depression are distressing symptoms of an internal struggle. Grief and separation are unforeseen circumstances that leave us feeling unmoored. When we meet, we work towards understanding what is getting in the way of feeling secure and fulfilled. We tend to feel better when we are known to ourselves, and known by an other. This brings relief.

Change and growth can be scary, but they are easier when we feel empowered and supported. As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment to explore your experiences, emotions, and patterns. I utilize a person-centered, holistic approach to work alongside you and help you feel more connected to yourself, your values, and your goals. We all deserve to feel supported, safe, and confident, and I strive to create a space where we can identify and work toward your goals together.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can use them to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. By working collaboratively, we will work to adjust behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Do you feel stuck in a certain stage or aspect of your life? I use these “stuck” feelings to explore inconsistencies in an effort to move back in alignment towards a more authentic self. Within our fast paced world, there is a theme of inadequacy; not being enough, not doing enough. I work collaboratively with my clients to create realistic goals that align with their own values. These goals expand beyond the self to include work, family, and relationships. Without the overwhelming pressure from the universal “shoulds” and societal timelines, my clients gain better insight into their own selves and how to live in service of that.

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.
