Times of struggle and pain can also be times of positive growth. When we learn that we have choices in how we respond to the situations in our lives, we can become empowered to choose to respond to stressors in a way that enables us to move forward in an intentional and positive direction.
It is my goal to help you discover the choices and strengths you have to cope with the challenges you face and to also discover the gifts that are so often hidden in adversities in order that you might actively choose the future you want.

Not accepting new clients
Not currently accepting new patients. Seeking therapy can be a difficult decision to make; this choice can be further compounded when life doesn’t seem to be going your way in the first place. Exploring and researching options for psychotherapy is an important step in initiating meaningful change into your life, so be encouraged that you have already begun the process. As a psychologist, my first goal is always to create an alliance of trust, comfort, and collaboration. A sense of safety fosters emotional expression that leads to the creation of achievable treatment goals and ultimately therapeutic success.

Accepting NEW Clients! Do you feel emotionally unsafe, disconnected, or lonely in your marriage or feel as a couple you often communicate angrily or disrespectfully? I have many years’ experience working with couples who feel hopeless, distressed, and ready to call it quits. Couples' work often consists of learning to be vulnerable with each other again, expressing feelings and certain needs to feel connected, and co-regulating negative emotions to increase the closeness you once experienced. Decreasing the negative cycles of conflict will help strengthen the bond in your relationship and finally bring the healing you seek.

While I see some adults for therapy, my education and experience has focused primarily on child and adolescent issues for the past 40+ years. I evaluate and treat kids 2 years and older, teens, and their families for a variety of issues. I collaborate with parents in obtaining services their child may need at school. I am practical and direct in my approach to treatment. I work with the child and parents together and separately, facilitating better communication and giving support and advice. Siblings are often included in family sessions. I look forward to working with your family.

It takes courage and strength to seek out support during difficult times. Life can be stressful, scary and complicated. Our society puts pressure on us to fit into a mold that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and helpless. We all internalize messages from our peers, family, and the media. Healing happens when we invest in the messages that empower us and challenge the ones that reduce us. Practicing this builds feelings of wholeness, peace, and contentment. If you want to heal but have a hard time figuring out where to start, therapy provides a safe space to support you on this journey.

It is my fundamental belief that although adverse situations are an unavoidable facet of life, given the proper tools and means of support, personal growth and a sense of self determination can and should be made manifest. While utilizing tenants of trauma-informed care, ACT, and CBT, I am deeply interested in centering the individual story, and collaboratively exploring ways to integrate mindfulness and coping strategies for overall well-being. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in addressing trauma, relational challenges, and stressors related to a person’s unique mental health.

I have always had a passion and a deep respect for humanity, for learning about others, for appreciating the differences and personal histories, and for discovering how individuals' values drive their own power to heal themselves. As a therapist, it is my privilege to be a mere facilitator of the discovery process. I look forward to aiding the change process in its many forms and in the time frame that you--the individual—desires and determines. With 15 years of experience in the field, I feel that I bring experience but also a fresh perspective of how to 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.
