I aim to guide my clients along the path to finding their truest, most authentic selves. I'm passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who feel they have lost touch with their true selves, as a result of life challenges. Often time when we are struggling with something we can be easily overwhelmed and begin to feel isolated. We begin to feel as though we are no longer in control of our own lives, like someone else is now driving the car and we are simply along for the ride. Activities and relationships we once valued can begin to seem meaningless and no longer bring us joy.

Grieving the death of a loved one leaves us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world as we knew it. Although grief is full of uncertainty, one thing is clear: it will change you. Perhaps what once felt like manageable stress is now blossoming into sleepless nights, overthinking, and increasing fear. Maybe you’re becoming frustrated by others’ responses or feeling like a burden to those around you. You might have begun to tuck away the truth about your loss from others because it’s too much, too dark, too upsetting. But you can’t forget what happened, you don’t have a way to escape it.

I believe that people today are looking for meaning in their lives. The issues that many are experiencing such as depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship problems stem from a struggle to find meaning and one's place in the world. A balance must be achieved between the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the client's life. It is my personal therapeutic philosophy that the issues that the client may be facing can be used as a motivating force to help him or her achieve and maintain this psycho-spiritual union.

Sometimes, as you travel along the path of life, you encounter detours in the form of hurt, neglect, or loss that shift your direction and give you a false narrative about who you truly are. These detours may cause you to forget that you were always meant to thrive and not just survive in life. What if your path hasn't led to a dead-end but a new beginning? Would you be willing to explore unchartered territory that could lead to healing, acceptance, self-love, and empowerment?

You want to live a life that aligns with your values and desires, but more than ever, you feel lost and uncertain about who you truly are. Persisting self-doubt keeps you feeling anxious and isolated – and with that nagging sense of not fully belonging anywhere. You try your best to balance all the conflicting expectations others hold for you, but this only seems to leave you feeling exhausted, confused, and not enough. But you don’t have to stay here. With the right support, you can develop a more cohesive self-narrative, begin to experience true belonging, and get to know what makes you, you.

We all imagine a life worth living. We hope to get up each and every day with a clear sense of purpose and self-worth. And sometimes, life becomes overwhelming. The day to day tasks of living may feel insurmountable, and we may even consider giving up or running away from it all. We are pulled in so many directions and feel out of the driver’s seat in our own lives. Relationships we once valued seem meaningless and activities that used to bring us joy no longer do. We need to be reminded of who we are and our value to this world. We all want to be heard, understood and validated.

I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults who have recently faced sexual assault and/or relationship abuse (emotional and verbal). Many of my clients feel lost, emotionally overwhelmed, and struggle with understanding how their identities have been changed. They often experience a sense of isolation from their usual support networks and find it challenging to access joy and relaxation in their lives. Additionally, they may have developed a fear of men or relationships in general, making it difficult for them to feel connected and safe in their own bodies.

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.
