I work with children, adolescents, young female adults whom are in distress, confused and need help with coping skills. I assist with helping them understand what happened, who they are and where they are going. Talking with someone other than family helps. It helps to not feel judged and feel accepted. We all have a place where we belong.

I am currently accepting new clients. Life is challenging for everyone. It's part of being "alive." Occasionally, challenges & difficulty become too much for us alone. Sometimes it helps to have someone with us through the rough spots by providing a safe, confidential environment where we can work it out together. My job, my honor, is to help you realize your best self. I try to do that by transferring tools I've learned into your tool box. Don't put off receiving professional mental health services. It's just as important as seeing your doctor before your common cold becomes something worse.

Going to counseling takes guts. Its not easy to talk to someone you don't know about what you need help with, but if you will take the risk, you will feel better. Isn't that we all want? To feel better? I don’t have a magic wand to fix it all overnight, but I’ll walk through the hard times with you. Dealing with the past is hard. Being a parent is hard. Coping with stress is hard. Relationships are hard. Meeting the demands of life is hard. You don’t have to face all the hard stuff on your own! We will figure it out together. We will laugh together, I promise. Therapy can be fun(ish).

Are you tired of constantly feeling on edge? This is not your fault. You are not broken. Your body is trying to heal itself by processing the stressful/traumatic situations you have been through. Your nervous system is getting flooded (unintended overwhelm) while your body is trying to process the situations you have been through. Because the nervous system is flooded, your brain is unable to file the memories as things that happened in the past. This is where I come in. I help you navigate these memories in ways that do not overwhelm your nervous system so that you are able to file the memories as things that happened in the past.

There are so many reasons we may find ourselves struggling with our mental health, whether it be from a traumatic childhood to current life stress. I see clients with a variety of issues but mostly focus on anxiety, depression, stress management, suicidality, and religious trauma. While I respect and value all my clients' personal religious and spiritual backgrounds, I operate from a non-religious standpoint in my counseling process. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I also work with clients on issues surrounding gender and sexuality and consider my office a safe space for others within the community.

Your story is worthy of witnessing and exploration. Trauma and chronic stress can block our ability to find words, recall memories, and feel connected with our bodies. By intentionally weaving talk therapy with experiential methods like drama therapy and psychodrama, the whole body is invited into healing. This allows the nervous system to shift from “fight, flight, and freeze” responses to a grounded connectedness- both within the body and in relationship with others. Though hard work, it’s also play; a co-created journey, finding wellbeing and joy.

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.
