I view therapy as a collaborative and holistic approach to the navigation of the human condition and as a safe space to explore everything life throws our way. As an existentialist and a relational therapist, my goal is to emphasize identity development, emotional insight and regulation, freedom and responsibility, effective communication, relational interdependence, and the creation of meaning. We are all walking through this world together and experiencing growth, hardship, change, love, and loss. Because we are human, I believe that every person can benefit from having a place to process emotions and an ear to listen with empathy

Have you discovered that you are lacking in motivation? Confused or completely lost when it comes to your own personal purpose in life? The number one symptom I have noticed in the past few years is that people lack motivation and purpose.

The goal of therapy with my clients is to increase awareness, renew motivation, and rediscover purpose that aims at a better, more authentic future.

Every human being has a different set of beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that are both instilled in them after birth and what is learned personally through experiences or interactions with others. It's fairly easy to "just go through the motions in life" or do as one is told without ever really considering why do I believe what I believe? Or do I want to continue believing what I was told? Lives can be enriched or devastated by traditions, culture, and beliefs, but it's essential to understand one's place in them. Individuals can become lost within the expectations or roles that are placed on them by others.

Hello and Welcome. The first step to healing is looking for a therapist and making an appointment for help. Are you in the middle of a transition? Transitions can be changing jobs, dissolving a relationship, entering into a new relationship or just accepting change in yourself. These changes can be challenging, exhilarating and frightening all at the same time. It is difficult to remain healthy mentally and physically at these times without some help from professionals.

You determine the nature and amount of change you wish to make. I believe that helping people recognize and hone in their strengths can create new possibilities for action and new directions in life.

As a helper, my work with clients is guided by the core belief of connection. 1) Connecting the past to the present to gain insight into our struggles, 2) Connecting meaning to our experiences and 3) Connecting with a safe and trusted person to provide support and guidance in our path to healing. My ideal client would be those that are of like mind and interested in connecting in a therapeutic relationship that is driven by the client's individual needs and life experiences.

Ever feel like this counseling thing just isn't for you? That traditional talk therapy just goes in circles with some progress but you end up in the same spot. You think, "Maybe I'm too broken." Getting stuck in anxiety, depression, defensiveness, disconnection, etc. can feel never-ending. Like we are always just trying to make it through life rather than fully experience it. Your brain and body is built to help you survive this world. So, when we have a history of trauma our brain and body learns to always be on alert for danger. You're not broken, just stuck in protection modes and your body can learn to find a sense of safety.

I like to think of myself as a very empathetic, reasonable and humanistic person. My goals are to help people become more aware of their flaws and see them as building blocks of character that help us accept who we are. No one is perfect and we are all humans. God made us all different and unique. Everyone needs compassion and understanding; without them, many unhealthy relationships emerge in our society today. I process events in life very systemically and believe that a lot of aspects of our unhealthy relationships are generational and systemically thrived.

If you are struggling with a depressed and/or anxious mood or have experienced a loss, counseling can help you experience a more hopeful and purposeful life. Clients with a background of trauma, grief/loss, mood disorder, or feel stuck during a time of transition and stress say that through therapy they have regained their emotional balance and find the strength to make important changes. Counseling involves digging deep, learning new ways of thinking, challenging old behaviors, and being courageous enough to believe that you can improve and grow no matter where you are in your life journey.

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.
