Life can get hard and it's not easy to ask for help. My goal has always been to make my clients feel accepted once they walk through the door. Everyone needs a safe place to process emotions and work through life's difficulties. My main focus is to work on building a therapeutic relationship with my clients where they can feel empowered to work toward change. I have experience working with anxiety and mood disorders, blended families, couples and families. My specialty is working with anxiety disorders. I am very passionate about helping my clients understand their anxiety and learn healthy coping skills.

I work with high-achieving professionals and leaders that want to change their personal and/or professional contexts. I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people increase their insight and awareness in order to clarify change and move forward. Additionally, I help people co-construct, envision and achieve personal and professional goals. Using Systems Theory, I provide an analysis of relational contexts as it supports goals and desired change.

Stigmas surrounding mental illness lead to negative stereotypes and mistaken beliefs that leave us feeling confused, ashamed, or even isolated. Nearly 1 in 5 people experience mental health problems in a given year, yet many find it difficult to reach out and ask for help. Whether struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health issues, a supportive, fresh perspective is often helpful and perhaps, even necessary for getting back on your feet.

Life involves challenges that can leave us feeling unfulfilled, confused, or even inadequate. Each of us has the qualities and skills to face challenges and improve our lives. We are capable of and worth more than we give ourselves credit for. There are times when our challenges keep us from recognizing this within ourselves, and therapy proves beneficial. If you feel you are not prepared to handle your challenges, let's work together to identify solutions that will work for you and lead in the direction you would like to move.

Your head hits the pillow and the inner critic starts nagging – today was another failure. People think you have it all together, but they have no idea how much you struggle. Feeling exhausted and ashamed, your self-esteem sinks lower by the day. People depend on you to lead with competence and clarity in every area of your life. What if everyone eventually figures out that you’re an impostor? Your career success seems fragile, and feelings of being overwhelmed haunt you throughout the day. You feel disconnected and isolated from family and friends but have no clue how to repair those relationships.

I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples the same. My passion is helping young children because I feel they deserve a voice and are so often not given one. However, I also thoroughly enjoy working with adults, particularly those struggling with anxiety and/or depression and helping them work their way out of that struggle because both issues are so debilitating. Empowering clients is what I enjoy most about my chosen profession.

Have you ever felt lost in the maze of life's big questions? Like you're searching for something but can't quite grasp it? And then, there are those moments when life feels colorless, leaving us wondering if we've somehow missed out on the joy that others seem to find. In therapy, I strive to create a space where you can navigate these feelings and reconnect with your inner strength and intuition. It's a place to explore those moments of feeling lost or overwhelmed and learn to trust your instincts once again.

I am passionate about helping children and their families interact and communicate with each other effectively. Feeling loved, listened to, and validated by our family is one of the best feelings. Although I enjoy working with children, I also know that having a strong parental figure(s) is important. Sometimes a parent or a couple is who needs to be in the therapy room to initiate change in a family system. I also enjoy working with adults on empowering themselves and helping them set boundaries within their relationships to alleviate stress from their lives.

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.
