Skilled therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist in which we identify individual strengths and skills, as well as the challenges that bring the client to therapy. My approach is an integration of support, respect, and sometimes challenging feedback towards personal growth, balanced living, improved relationships, and emotional stability. Areas of focus in my practice for improving psychological well-being include self-esteem challenges, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, mid-life transitions, grief and loss, codependency, and stress management.

Do you feel that life has gotten so much harder the past few years? Is it difficult for you to slow down and relax? Do you constantly feel pressured to try harder or be perfect? Does your brain constantly replay the most difficult moments of your life? The endless pressure to find our purpose and be good enough can lead to feelings of worry, fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, avoidance and isolation. These feelings can be overwhelming and leave us feeling disconnected from people and activities that matter the most to us. My objective is to support you in slowing down, finding moments of relief and reconnecting with what’s important.

It feels like anxiety has a hold on your life. You wake up in the middle of the night overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. You’re not able to give all of yourself to your personal relationships. The people who once felt close to you now feel distant. You often feel like a fraud, and consistently discredit yourself and your experiences. You also worry that others might discover that you’re a “fraud.” You’re reluctant to go after new opportunities (promotions, etc.) because you don’t feel like you deserve them. You’ve decided it’s time to change this.

Does life’s ups and downs leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed, unfulfilled and constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop? The daily feeling of worry, tension, self doubt, negative thoughts, make it hard to relax and enjoy the present moment sometimes, doesn't it? Do you identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and find it hard to connect with someone who "gets it"? Reaching out can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable and so damn scary. You are not alone.

Addiction, be it Alcohol or Drugs, even chocolate, yes chocolate, (sugar). It is my opinion that all addictions are treatable, and all Recovery goals can be achieved when working together. I do not have all the answers, but working together we can develop a plan that may help you succeed in your recovery program. One just has to have the desire to want to change their lives, to be honest with themselves, to make a commitment to themselves, and be willing to do the work. Afterall, it's an investment in yourself. I invest a lot of time and effort into what I do because I truly love what I do.

Understanding your emotional world is the first step to unlearning the defense mechanisms and behavioral patterns that have arisen over time. Often we have learned habits of interaction that harm more than hurt. Limiting and negative self-beliefs are reinforced, and relationships suffer as a result. My client is a couple or individual that is ready for deep emotional work, who will bring authenticity to our interactions, and is eager for change that heals. You might be a couple who feels trapped in a pattern of conflict, or a teen or adult overwhelmed by anxiety or who carries the weight of past abuse or trauma. Let me help!

So often life can be hard to navigate on your own. It is my hope to teach you tools and skills to make life feel more balanced. I have a deep passion for people and cherish each person's journey and story. Sharing your story is powerful in its vulnerability and often that is where the healing begins. "Sometimes you just need to talk about something- not to get sympathy or help- but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hit the air" (Karen Salmansohn).

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.
