Figuring out you need extra guidance can be difficult to come to terms with. In a society where we are constantly hustling and bustling around to make ends meet, we often put our self care and mental/emotional hygiene on the back burner until it becomes a mess. Mental health is important in making sure all aspects of wellness support balance. As a therapist, I seek to increase understanding of the self and encourage growth in a non-judgmental and gently nurturing atmosphere. I specialize in treating Trauma, Trafficking, Borderline Personality Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Relationships, Anxiety, Depression.

I specialize in marriage and relationship issues. Relationships are unique and require a different approach. What works in individual counseling fundamentally doesn't work for couples, and may even cause more harm than good. I understand the difference. Using an evidence-based approach, I bring perspective without blaming or taking sides. With your partner or even on your own, I'm here to help. If you're ready to make a lasting change or want to learn more, visit my site at staystrongtogether.com.

The client-counselor relationship-which, in my opinion, is the most critical element of the entire process-is what determines whether therapy is effective. I strive hard to provide a welcoming, honest, and secure environment that, hopefully, fosters a sense of security and encourages open communication. Understanding the meaning and purpose in life can be complicated at times. My objectives and ambitions are to build relationships in which talking about the obstacles to realize your actual purpose in life becomes relatively normal. Working with people and helping them become their best selves is something that I appreciate.

I help people overcome, manage and find meaning in life’s challenges. It’s common to feel like you should just be able to “get over” hard emotional experiences. Rather than “getting over” whatever is causing pain, therapy can guide you to “go through” these experiences to gain more understanding, self-compassion and choice in how you move forward. My approach to therapy is multi-layered. I help you to develop a deeper relationship to yourself and to others. I also serve as a coach to help you change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional suffering so you can feel more in control of the direction your life is heading.

My focus is providing a dedicated, safe space for women seeking support through life transitions. Transitions, whether they are welcomed or unexpected, are opportunities for reflection, for discovering a new authentic sense of self, and for challenging internal belief systems that often make change feel overwhelming or unbearable. My primary goal is to help clients find a renewed sense of purpose, balance, energy, and self-confidence.

Is life becoming too overwhelming to cope with? Are your worries outweighing your joys? Are you having trouble focusing on the present moment and is that impacting your relationships and ability to experience the pleasures that you once enjoyed? There are times when the pressures that we face or the pain from the past can cause us to do things that we don’t want to do, and we somehow lose our power of choice along the way, making us feel stuck. We have the desire for things to be different and to make better choices for ourselves but sometimes we just can’t, and that is 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.
