Life transitions can feel brutal. Changes in relationships, jobs, school, family dynamics, and belief systems can cause stress, anxiety, or depression. Life transitions often involve a painful loss and feelings of confusion. They force us to let go of the comfort of familiarity and face uncomfortable thoughts and emotions. With adaptive coping strategies and plenty of self-exploration, they can also be the launching point in which we heal old wounds and find new meaning in the retelling of our story.

We live in a stressful world. Whether we have experienced trauma, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or other stressful events in life, we all experience areas of brain dysregulation that simply are a part of living in this world and being human. Brain dysregulation can look like difficulty falling asleep, migraines, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, seizures, restless leg syndrome, jaw clenching, social anxiety, nightmares, procrastination, and difficulty focusing, just to name a few. Sometimes our brains need a little help to get back into healthy patterns of reacting to our environment. This is where Neurofeedback comes in.

Looking for someone to help put the hope back into your life? As a therapist, I enjoy working through those dark pieces we each have within ourselves and teaching others to lean into the discomfort without all the guilt and shame. I've lived a life that has forced me to befriend my own dark places, and walk with them in ways that are gifts, not burdens. I'd be honored to help you do the same. I myself am in recovery so I know how it feels to take the first step in healing. Even though it is hard, the reward is worth it.

I see a wide variety of clients with different situations and different backgrounds. Each may not know what steps to take to move forward but the one thing that unifies them all is a desire to change. We want to be smarter, to be a better employee, a better parent, a better partner or have a better relationship but there are times where that desire to be better turns into an inner critic. Instead of leading us to be better, it leads to anxiety, depression, a lack of self compassion and a feeling of unrest for where you are at in life. I want to help you create the change and the life you want while learning to deal with the critic.

Accepting new clients. When starting therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Each client brings their own unique experiences, values, and strengths to therapy. Therapists also have their own unique style of providing treatment or certain techniques they rely on. It is important to find a therapist that you “click” with. My approach tends to center on building a trusting therapeutic relationship between us that emphasizes the client as the expert of their lives. Research shows that strong therapeutic alliances can predict positive outcomes in therapy.

The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of humanity. As a trauma therapist, my ultimate goal and passion is to help individuals express, embrace and empower their true authentic selves. When we can live honoring our true selves, we create meaning and find purpose in what we aspire to achieve in life. This empowers us to take control of our lives, and by working on our trauma, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear or resistance by embracing our true selves.

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.
