Are you ready for a change? You may be functioning in your life, yet something in you is asking for your attention. Or maybe a recent diagnosis, loss, life transition, or stress may have you questioning how you’ve been living until now. Perhaps you are ready to face something that you’ve resisted in the past out of habit, fear, or a sense of being existentially stuck. Or maybe you know your story, and have a desire to deepen your understanding of yourself but don’t know how to get there.

You may be overwhelmed by your life situation, haunted by unpleasant memories of the past, or worried about the future. Perhaps things have even reached a point where it's difficult to sleep at night or pay attention during the day. Each of these situations is keeping you from experiencing the peace and joy you desire to have in life. Healing can happen we find safety in ourselves and with another person. I offer a safe space, free of judgment, to work on the changes you are seeking.

Do you appear functional on the outside but inside deal with insecurities? You might feel some "imposter syndrome" even when you are actually quite successful on the outside. Do you worry that your anxiety will interfere with your work or relationships? You might have lingering impacts from things that happened in childhood or in toxic relationships. Most of my clients are women who are overthinkers and people- pleasers and suffer from being very self-critical. I think of our work as "recovery from everything." The positive coping skills we work on are quite similar no matter what has caused you such high levels of anxiety.

What stands in the way of you feeling whole, supported, connected, and in charge of your life? Sometimes we see ourselves in outdated or inaccurate ways, feel stuck in habits and routines that are burdensome or unfulfilling, struggle in relationships, work too hard to keep pain at bay, suffer terrible losses, and find ordinary life challenges overwhelming and impossible. Whether your struggle involves past trauma, difficult relationships, challenging life transitions, or just navigating through a demanding and ever changing world, you deserve compassionate understanding, support, and relief.

As humans, we tend to project our understanding of ourselves onto the rest of our environment. If we don’t understand why we behave the way we do or if we don't feel very great about ourselves, that can impact how we see the rest of the world and how we go about living in it. My goal in therapy is to help you better understand yourself and work towards a new way of navigating the world around you. Here's to positive wellness and finding renewed satisfaction in life!

I am not currently accepting new clients. While each of us has unique experiences, we frequently encounter similar challenges that come up in life. These often include relationship difficulties, experiencing grief and loss, navigating life transitions, coping with anxiety and depression, facing isolation and sadness, and more. Sometimes, despite our best efforts to adapt, we need additional help.

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.
