I am a relationship therapist, which includes the relationship we all have with ourselves. My goal is to help you feel safe as you discuss your most difficult and emotionally charged thoughts and feelings. l am excellent at identifying the deeper issues and I give homework that is focused on symptom relief. Arguments and heated discussions between two or more people allow me to see and understand the underlying dynamics that keep people stuck. I am good at separating the issues and empowering each individual which allows the relationship to grow and change in a more satisfying way.

Therapy is an opportunity for growth and discovery through finding one's personal power and influence within themselves. I have a passion for helping others find their place of peace in a world full of mixed messages. We live in a society than can affect individuals in a negative manner, telling them who they are and labeling without respect to personal value or potential. This influence can lead to a sense of brokenness and disconnection brought on by an outside source. Let me help you overcome through defining and living out your definition of what it means to thrive.

At one time or another, everyone struggles with feeling motivated, confident, organized, coping; dealing with change, self-image; relationships, boundaries, parenting, or our careers. Some deal with ADHD and keeping their lives on track. Many want to feel encouraged and supported. It is nice to have a positive person to listen and talk through their difficulties. They want someone to see and find their strengths, gifts and uniqueness. They want to feel empowered, hopeful that things can change for the better, calm, strong, and successful in dealing with the difficulties they face. Nothing stays the same and things do change!

** I am currently not taking new clients. Email/call to arrange phone consultation for warm referrals** I help my clients with individual and couple therapy, biofeedback, and group therapy to understand themselves and their circumstances from a new perspective, one including access to healing, hope, and wellness. I recognize how people looking to improve their mental health often carry with them fears of unworthiness, imagined brokenness, and perceived failures of will, so I work to create a therapeutic environment free from stigma and judgment in which the people I serve have space to cultivate self-awareness, learn, and grow.

Recognizing you need help isn't always easy. You've tried to find the joy and connection you are longing for, but it still seems out of reach. You may not know how to move forward from a difficult situation and desire to get back to or gain the confidence and ambition you want. Your kids may be struggling at school, have learning difficulties, or are having a hard time making friends and interacting with others.

Do you struggle with just being yourself these days? Well, kick off your shoes, relax your feet, let's get real and talk about "What's tea?” Many people see therapy as a never ending cycle of therapists asking, "How does that make you feel?". I can assure therapy with me is never a cliche. I know how easy it is to feel alone and always asking over and over why me or what else can go wrong. I can understand needing a break and wanting to scream. Thats why I want to listen, act, and help you transform by exploring those issues you may be struggling with together and take back control of your life because you matter too.

I have been married for 16 years and have three adult stepchildren, a son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. I also have 2 cats that are important members of the family. The spirit of and definition family is something that has grown and has become valued over the years. My life experiences have given me insight and perspectives that allow me to make unique connections with my clients. I learned that life is ever changing. I have come to realize is that during times when we feel defeated, it does not mean we are unable to change the outcome or our quality of life in the future. Nor, is it too late to create the life we do want.

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.
