I believe all individuals are capable and strive to succeed though there are times we all struggle and need a supportive individual there to help us through these times. This may be through gaining skills, telling their story, learning about themselves, or simply through practice. I have a passion for working with adolescents, couples, and those who have experienced trauma. I strive to provide a safe space for all individuals and simply enjoy working with people from all cultures, and backgrounds. No issue is too big or too small as long as we develop a strong therapeutic relationship, we can work through them all.

I look forward to working with people who are committed to making changes and seeing growth within their own lives. I love when clients enter the therapeutic relationship with goals of their own, as well as those who are willing to be self-reflective and analytical about their own experiences. I see myself as a facilitator of growth and change, but commitment to therapeutic goals is essential for the success of any individual.

Life is down right difficult, plain and simple. One of the most courageous things you can do is take responsibility for your life, and face the pain that comes with it. My ideal client is someone that is feeling lost and overwhelmed with life. Someone who is ready, but unsure how to face these difficulties. This can include relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma, depression, anxiety etc. True healing occurs when you allow yourself to experience and express your emotions. Being a therapist is an absolute privilege and I love being able to help people live authentically. I would be honored to help you.

Sometimes we all need to talk about life’s issues. Whether it’s past traumas, depression, anxiety, relationship issues or simple life disappointments. It’s difficult at times to recognize the etiology of these problems let alone how to deal with them successfully. A Licensed Therapist who will be completely objective is the best and fastest way to accomplish feeling better.

Often, change comes from a place of pain and discomfort. Challenging experiences reveal and strengthen valuable qualities within oneself. However, there are times people need different perspectives or skills to overcome challenges. I aim to offer an accepting space for people to resolve uncomfortable experiences and to move towards what matters the most.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Your story makes you who you are today. Everything that has been written in your story has an impact on you, whether you realize it or not. It impacts your relationships, your parenting style, children/teens behaviors, emotions, etc. Acknowledging and owning your story will help you be in control of writing the next chapter.

I like to work with people who want to become the best versions of themselves. Many clients I've worked with struggle with depression and/or anxiety and want to feel better. Their specific symptoms seem to cause them significant problems in one or more areas of their lives. Most people want to reduce their symptoms that are causing issues. My goal is to treat each client with the dignity, respect, and love they deserve as human beings by accepting and working with them exactly where they are in their life.

My dedication to the field of mental health stems from my personal experience with it. I grew up with close loved ones living with mental illness and I have personally overcome some mental health challenges over the course of my lifetime, too. I know firsthand that having mental health concerns can be difficult. There is still so much stigma around having mental health issues, the process for getting help can be overwhelming, and it can feel so frustrating and lonely. However, I also know from experience how much life can change for the better when you find support and take steps towards taking care of yourself!

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.

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.
