Losing sight of who we want to be in an increasingly complicated world can seem easy when life feels hard, and asking for help is an act of courage when we're struggling. I'd like to help you face your challenges. I work with teens ages 15+, adults, and couples. My approach to therapy is collaborative and includes treating all clients with respect and compassion and exploring what matters most to you. If you feel lost or stuck in life, it may be that you've lost sight of what is important to you. Together, we can reconnect you with what and who matters most in life to help you find direction, balance, healing, and to create meaning.

I believe that every individual has been created with intrinsic value and unique purpose. We were meant to live whole, integrated, and connected lives that flourish. But painful or traumatic life experiences can diminish us over time, pulling us away from who we were created to be, often wreaking havoc with our minds, bodies, emotions, and relationships in the process. If you are weary of merely surviving and desire to truly thrive, I want to remind you that you are not alone and that there is hope. There is a path that has led to the place you are now, and there is a different path forward that leads to healing and wholeness.

Do you "just need to talk to someone" to help sort out parts of your life, relationship, family, or career? Is your most important relationship suffering and nothing else feels right despite all your best efforts?

I help adults, couples, and families find their way through the stressors and challenges of life and relationships to achieve greater connection, balance, satisfaction, and love. I offer a different approach as a licensed therapist and master's level coach to equip you with usable tools for real help with real results.

At some point, people face barriers between how they are perceived and who they want to be. And at some point life can hit us with random or chronic disruptions. Whether or not your mental health warrants a diagnosis, a core component to counseling is to identify and treat the imbalance in wellness. This includes identifying internal and external issues. Counseling may be the right resource if you are feeling unhappy, scared, lonely, frustrated, confused, overwhelmed...or any combination of emotions. Counseling may also be needed if your behavior is negatively impacting your wellness and relationships with others.

For some seeing a counselor might seem intimidating, but in reality, it's an opportunity to be able to be your true self, in a safe space, with no judgment. I use the counseling technique that best suits each client. Many stuggle, for example, with anxiety, depression, grief, stress or past trauma. It is possible to feel better.

Individuals, couples, and families experience trauma, stressors, and circumstances outside their control throughout life. Such times can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves and others. We are relational beings, wired for connection, yet sometimes we get caught in negative interaction cycles, often driven by the same unmet needs. I help couples uncover those underlying unmet needs, emotions, and perceptions and then facilitate a pattern of turning toward each other rather than away.

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.
