In celebration of each individual's strengths and unique qualities, I offer an individualized approach that is customized to the needs of each client. I believe that with support, guidance, compassion, and understanding people have the ability to not only find solutions to their challenges, but the strength to make positive changes. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families and offer play therapy, activity therapy, expressive arts, and/or traditional talk therapy. I practice from a neurodiversity affirming lens where we focus on empowerment and appreciating everyone's unique differences.

My ideal client is someone looking for greater self-exploration and seeking inner harmony. They want to be mentally and physically balanced while striving to be their best self. They want growth and maturation and to align with their greater purpose. They're looking for guidance by getting back connected with their inner source through the process of therapy and exploring their experiences. My ideal client is looking to be heard, understood, and attended to assuage emotional disturbances, life difficulties, and cognitive dissonances. I work with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and athletes.

We don’t always expect to find ourselves in a place where we need to reach out for help, but taking that step is a massive leap toward things getting better. Whether you are here to improve relationship concerns, address compulsive sexual behavior, seek help for infidelity or betrayal, or improve intimacy and sex, we can work together to get you to the place you’d like to be. In working with clients, I don't take a generalized approach and I tailor each session to your goals. My hope is that you leave each session knowing what your next step is.

I provide teletherapy for diverse, queer, and cross-cultural humaxns to help support living your best authentic life. Therapy can help provide an opportunity to gain insight, learn, and practice new skills in an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. I believe that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to treating clients. Everyone experiences life differently and so I believe treatment solutions should vary for each individual client.

Many individuals often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone in their daily life. I aim to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, and religious trauma, among others, to find understanding and not feel so alone. I offer tools and strategies to manage stress and anxiety, rediscover joy, provide guidance and perspective through important life changes, and improve communication and connection within significant relationships. Being equipped with the proper tools and support empowers individuals to create change they previously may have doubted was possible.

Are you struggling to keep up with your family relationships, work and health? Do you know what you need to do but it is hard to make the changes needed? Are you harder on yourself than you are on others? I help people make healthy decisions, manage anxiety and develop strategies to support change and manage stress. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you where you want to be. I have worked in schools for over two decades and love helping parents improve their relationships with their children and learn strategies to help set their children up for long term success.

In therapy, I enjoy helping kids and adults try a new approach of care and healing that targets both emotional processing and regulating the nervous system. I partner with parents to help their child improve anxiety, process life transitions, and overcome various behavioral issues. With adults, I help with trauma healing, anxiety, and relational roadblocks such as people-pleasing, social anxiety and codependency. Other areas I focus on include family of origin issues, OCD, and abuse recovery. I've also had the unique opportunity to help families find their new normal after life-altering tragedies.

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.
