My hope is to empower those I serve to examine their truths from different perspectives and to challenge their own perceptions.

Deciding to go to a therapist is a courageous step. For some people, it is because a life-altering event has disrupted their world. For others, long-term symptoms have become increasingly more difficult. Wherever you find yourself now, finding the right fit for your needs is important. I use a holistic approach in my work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, life transitions, substance abuse, and trauma. I have worked with teens and adults in a community agency, schools, and private practice.

“The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, but the realist adjusts the sails”. I have made it my mission to help people use the resources they have to reach their destinations. We may not have all of the resources we desire, but using my strengths based approach to counseling, we can realize and maximize the tools, resources, and supports we have available to us. This approach lends itself most beautifully to my work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, women’s issues, pre and post partum related challenges, couples counseling and eating disorders.

I am passionate about helping clients to gain deeper understanding of their relationship history so that they are able to have healthy happy relationships throughout their life. Many of us have struggled with family members or in dating due to not having an understanding of our own emotional wounds and how they manifest. There isn't a class on healthy relationships so we all learn what "normal" is from our parents, TV shows, books...None of these sources are inherently trustworthy so it makes sense why so many of us struggle. I have helped people navigate this deep work for more than 10 years and I would be honored to help you.

You might feel sad, angry, and misunderstood even though you feel like you have a lot going for you. You wonder why you keep experiencing difficulty in relationships but feel stuck for fear of being lonely or that it would be too hard to deal with others' reactions to standing up for yourself. You're exhausted from trying to keep everyone else happy and feeling like a doormat sometimes. You don't want to feel this way anymore. You're ready to make a change on your own terms.

I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychologist who helps adults seeking assessment. I help my clients answer the questions, "Am I autistic? Do I have ADHD?" Neurodivergence can look different in women and AFAB individuals, and it sometimes does not follow the stereotypes of what autism or ADHD are. Having a psychologist who specializes in these areas can be very helpful. Discovering neurodivergence later in adulthood can be a very positive event for many, helping them understand themselves and their life experiences more deeply.

My philosophy centers around the belief that underlying personal issues often contribute to the challenges that bring individuals to seek counseling. Recognizing this, I work closely with men, women, couples, and families to address not only conflicts within partnerships and parent-child relationships but also other areas of concern such as job stress, employment struggles, and unresolved childhood issues.

I specialize in trauma informed, outside of the box therapy. I enjoy working with people who find conforming to societal norms a bit challenging. I like to highlight the strengths of such uniqueness, while also giving resources that can help manage every day "normal" life. I prefer a holistic approach that focuses on the mind-body connection. I've had success in reducing anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism symptoms with a combination of diet and behavioral interventions.

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.
