In practice for over 20 years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults. Currently, I am focusing on work with couples, using Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together we will develop a plan for our work, with clear goals and steps along the way. When our work is finished my hope is that you will leave satisfied, with real results and restored confidence in your connection with your partner.

Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found me to help you start your healing journey. As a pre-licensed therapist, I work with teens, adults, and couples to guide them toward liberation from pain and suffering. I see counseling as a deeply collaborative process where our relationship is key to facilitating healing. Together, we can address problems that may have felt insurmountable on your own. I’m passionate about finding resolutions even in the most challenging situations, and I’m committed to walking this path with you. My approach is rooted in holistic healing, focusing on deep, nourishing change that addresses the root cause of your wounds.

As an adult survivor of child abuse who overcame a hard childhood to create success, you are good at problem solving and powering through, but you experience a disconnection from your feelings, your body, and your relationships. You are good at pulling it together, putting your feelings aside and focusing to get things done. When you aren’t numb inside, you feel anxious until you find a way to numb out again. Sometimes the things you do to numb out: over-drinking, overeating, overworking, make you feel worse. You love your partner, but you often feel far away from them emotionally. It’s hard to receive touch from someone you love.

Being a man is hard enough. Then, trying to open up to someone and work on your struggles while getting in touch with your emotions and feelings. Talk about a challenge. Not to mention the feeling in the back of your mind that a female therapist is judging you. I get the struggle. As men, we have been conditioned and groomed to be a certain way. It's not that we aren't enough or that we are the enemy. We haven't been shown how to address what's going on in our body and mind. My services are for those wanting a nonjudgmental approach while also being held accountable on their path to an evolving self.

One day we may download a User's Manual for being human. Until then, therapy can help us navigate the rocky shoals and shed light onto the dark spots while setting ghosts to rest. We are far more capable than we think we are or given credit for. Napoleon Hill is quoted as saying, "What you can conceive and BELIEVE, you can achieve." That works both ways. Therapy can often re-open the doors to choice, frequently help us find our feet, and often move us to look to a bright future and to hear the music of everyday living. It is really hard to run through the woods backwards.

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.
