What does it mean to love and be loved? How do we choose safe partners? How do we relationship in healthy ways? As a therapist, I hold that my role is to journey with you along your unique healing path. I believe that when we love with our whole selves it ripples out into our communities in restorative ways and have focused my work with those of us who have or are currently experiencing domestic and interpersonal violence. I understand that relational violence is an expression of societal violence and cannot be separated from each other in a healing journey. I guide lovers to safe relationships.

You are exhausted from the constant stress and anxiety. The anxious and negative thoughts seem to be on a constant loop in your head. It feels endless and out of your control. You are a strong, successful person but can't seem to find a way out of this. Work is no longer an escape and the stress and anxiety seem to be impacting your work performance. You are noticing physical symptoms as a result and are desperate for relief.

Life can be complicated and is rarely straightforward. There are thousands of self help books out there on how to make your life meaningful. They can be helpful. However in my experience it is not always the actual knowledge of what makes life meaningful, it is the timely application of this knowledge and experiencing the feeling of accepting oneself. We often know why we want to make changes to better our life, we just don't always know how.

I believe everyone is on a path directed toward the person achieving their full potential in life. There are many diversions which limit or prevent a person from realizing their potential. I believe supportive psychotherapy or counseling should help a person "focus" upon reaching their goals.

We are all carrying frustrating patterns we can’t seem to break out of, and conflicts that feel impossible to resolve. With daily life constantly adding stressors, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. As we work together in session, I can help you see your life in a different light, and find solutions that bring joy to your days. I believe resilience is a trait that can be taught so you can continue to thrive even after we finish our time together. I work to create a therapeutic setting that fosters security, dignity, and identity-affirming empathy.

Do you find yourself confused and depressed, or struggling with fear and anxiety? Perhaps you find that your past won't let you live in the present or that life is slipping by and satisfaction seems out of reach. Life can throw a thousand obstacles in your path, but at the end of the day, it's your own mind that has to navigate the ups and downs and make some sort of peace and joy out of this unpredictable experience we call life. Unfortunately, most people aren't taught to take care of, or even pay attention to, their own minds. That's where therapy can 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.
