You’re probably a good fit for me if you’re neurodivergent, traumatized and experiencing hopelessness in navigating this constantly changing existence we’re in.

I also have proficiency in chronic illness and spirituality.

Many of us will go through times in our lives that feel like too much to navigate on our own - life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties. In those times, it can be useful to have someone to help explore how we learned to cope and encourage positive change, resilience, and healthy relationships. My primary goal is to provide space for you to be heard, seen, understood and know that you are not alone in your struggles (because we seldom are)! I have experience working with intimate relationships, intimate partner violence, life transitions, and parenting issues.

I have worked with high risk adolescents for the past 22 years. I have experience with family work, long term trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and attachment. I believe in the power of relationship to change people, and to help people understand their trauma to help them live fuller lives and understand family and individual patterns. I have a deep understanding of long term abuse and childhood trauma , as well as domestic violence, and it's affect on relationships and lifelong satisfaction. I am looking for clients who are interested in looking at their own trauma and attachment and how this is connected to current life issues, or current road blocks people are facing.

Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.

I believe that we all have the power to change our lives for the better even if our pasts or present aren’t so great. I like to help others explore where they are at in life, identify their options, and discover their own unique strengths … those who want to find their true self and need someone to listen – and give them a boost – because somewhere along the way they lost their oomph and ability to shine.

Counseling can help us understand our experiences and relationships, work towards our goals, address specific symptoms, and manage diagnoses. Counseling can also go beyond any narrow definition or focus. It can be for anyone who is interested in what could arise from this radically open yet controlled and limited relationship. Whatever the client's unique experiences and concerns, I approach counseling as a process that combines pragmatism with openness, kindness and encouragement, and I think of wellbeing as something that is defined by the client—by their values, relationships, history, desires, contexts, and more.

Have you experienced adverse life events that have impacted your ability to move forward? Most people experience distress in their lifetime. This distress can often be overwhelming, trigger dysfunction, and impair relationships. When humans are psychologically wounded, we need empathetic, compassionate, and genuine healing. My practice works with survivors of physical or sexual abuse, empowers consensual sexual health, and strives to strengthen relationships by building boundaries and confidence. I am also passionate about providing trauma informed care to first responders, law enforcement, and military members and their families.

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.
