I help adults and older adolescents with anxiety, ADHD and trauma to manage stress and navigate healthy relationships, so they can overcome shame, feel more confident, and be more connected with others. If you are on the Autism spectrum or part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I will help you embrace your unique identity and strengths. Your anxiety may be causing problems in your personal and professional life. You long for successful, close relationships, but find yourself struggling to put yourself out there, and you wonder if you’ll ever be good enough. I can help!

Are you someone who finds him/herself experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction and restlessness? You know something is wrong but you can’t put your finger on it. Maybe you’re children are grown and you realize you’ve lost yourself in the process of raising them and you’re wondering what’s next for you. Are you feeling reckless, lonely, misunderstood, exhausted and easily irritated? You feel like an imposter at times. You feel apathetic toward things that once brought you pleasure and joy. You might even be suffering from symptoms of panic, anxiety, or depression as a result of this uncertain time in your life.

Life changes can leave us all feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or even anxious and depressed. Whether it is an unexpected illness, relationship betrayal, grief, loss, aging or changes in family dynamics you can become lost, feel alone and be uncertain of what to do. When we find ourselves in these painful places it can be almost impossible to believe that things will get better and going through a transition can be a painful process but with support it can lead to tremendous growth.

As a counselor, I look to the Latin phrase Cura Personalis as a guide. This translates as "care for the whole person". This approach calls for individualized attention to the needs of others, a distinct respect for their unique circumstances, and an appropriate appreciation for their particular gifts and insights. With this phrase in mind, I believe that everyone has the tools within them to find healing and create a better more fulfilling life, the challenge is uncovering those tools to begin the journey. As a counselor, I am committed to walking alongside my clients every step of the way.

My work with clients is rooted in the belief that seeking therapy is a vulnerable thing. I seek to partner with clients in that vulnerability and courage by creating a welcoming, safe, and accepting environment through my compassion and humor. I utilize different therapeutic techniques, like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation etc., to meet clients where they are at and develop goals and support change in ways that are aligned with the client's values. Life can be challenging, but through this process we can expand the different "tools" you have to meet those challenges.

Life is meant to include fun, exploration, and positive self-development, especially for teens and young adults. But unaddressed trauma can get in the way, leading instead to anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, and more. I specialize in helping young people who need support in dealing with complex trauma, also known as C-PTSD, and related struggles. Many troubled youths end up dealing with child protective services, foster placements, the courts, and related systems which can label them as the problem. No one should be identified by their trauma or past. You are a vibrant and valuable person just ready to break through.

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.
