Have you experienced profound loss? As a therapist, I’m passionate about serving clients who are anticipating the death of someone they love, those who've lost connection to someone they love, and those trying to navigate a world that now feels empty. As a former Hospice Bereavement Counselor, I have experience providing access to the emotional work that accompanies grief. The cultural norm does not prepare us for the severe impact of the death of a loved one, nor does it make space for our grief thereafter. Our work together can make sense of your grief and work toward lightening the emotional load.

Hi, first I want to commend you for having the courage to reach out. It is very humbling to admit that we don't feel well or we aren't behaving like the person we want to be. Therapy is a hopeful non judgmental place where healing and growth can happen. I have benefited myself from professional help and will be along side you to join you in whatever goals you set for yourself. The human condition comes along with many challenges and powerful emotions we cannot avoid, but I do believe there is a way to handle them with grace and self love. And to tend to those wounds without letting them drive us.

My personal belief about therapy is that healing happens in relationships rather than through a specific theory or intervention. Much of the time, problems arise in relationship to other people or things, not by themselves so it makes sense to find and practice solutions in a therapeutic relationship with someone like me. Gaining new insight combined with action can be just what is needed to help you feel unstuck.

As a certified EMDR therapist, I would love to help you break free from your past in order to live a fuller, more meaningful life in the present. If traumatic memories, depression, or anxiety are keeping you feeling stuck, I can help you find healing. Trauma is stored in the nervous system, and can leave you feeling constantly on edge, or completely checked-out. I incorporate somatic interventions into my work to also help your body work through the trauma that you may not have words for. My office is place where you can safely explore your issues, feeling unconditionally accepted and supported throughout the process.

"It's not forgetting that heals. It's remembering." - Amy Greene. My area of focus is working with women and men who want to heal their mind and bodies from negative or traumatic experiences. Forgetting is not always an option because our bodies do remember. Common symptoms and complaints that can be related to traumatic events may be anxiety or depression, irritability and anger, frequent headaches, stomach-aches and fatigue. It can be difficult and overwhelming to reach out for support, but "forgetting" may no longer feel like an option for you.

I work with women - mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, and children, to help facilitate and enjoy healthy, loving relationships. Together we develop the insight and skills necessary to experience the pleasure of love. We may explore trauma, loss, grief, anger, repressed desire, lack of vitality, and current challenging relationships. My orientation is analytical, depth/archetypal, and feminist. I take into consideration the presence and power of the unconscious, and how it works to encourage our growth and renewal. I am committed to supporting women and women's empowerment, self-esteem, and capacity for love, peace, and ease.

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.
