Ever ask yourself, "I need someone to talk to." "I need to make changes." Have you endured trauma, feel depressed, or suffer from anxiety? Finding the support you need is NOT impossible. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people but encouraging a space for self-care. I welcome my clients to show up as they are, as I do the same. I provide a nonjudgmental and empowering atmosphere. My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, safe and collaborative environment. Clients can navigate and overcome all of their life’s challenges. I have 15 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children.

You are the person who exudes competence, effectiveness and power. Your most likely the individual who is high achiever within your family, community and/or your profession. Secretly though, you feel like your just winging it. Everyone sees Your success… no one sees the Sacrifice that it took to get there. You're a deep thinking POC professional who needs a relationally psychodynamic approach so you can discover a new way to relate to yourself and others. You want to find your footing in life and stop hedging, fumbling and running into a dead-end.

Life can feel challenging, overwhelming, and stressful to the point that you feel unable to stay afloat. When life gets to this point, you might be wondering how to keep moving forward. Despite the desire for a life that feels more like living and less like surviving; taking the first step to seek out help can feel overwhelming. I will be with you every step of the way to sit alongside you through the journey. Therapy takes time but it allows you to explore yourself, reconnect with the things that matter most to you, and pave the way for the life you want to have. Let’s do that together.

My approach to therapy is creative and collaborative. I believe each individual – no matter their age or gender identity – is unique and should have a therapist who is genuine, practices unconditional positive regard, and has empathic understanding. In session, I will approach the client where they are and with what they may currently be experiencing. My approach starts with building a positive, warm, and trusting relationship. This will provide a foundation of support, encouragement, and connection, and after that the work can truly begin. I do not expect a client to work harder in our relationship than I am willing to do myself.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years experience working with adults and teens. I work with people from different backgrounds and cultures who face a variety of challenges. I've gained my experience from working in corrections, hospitals, schools, community outpatient programs, and private practice. Many people I work with experience depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, sexual disorders, racing thoughts, psychosis, and substance use. These issues often create obstacles in all areas of life including school, employment, relationships, parenting, and spirituality.

I started 911 Help For Parents & Relationships after many years of working with children, adolescents, and families. I discovered that not only were the children struggling, but so were their parents. I sought out more training to develop a specialty in Parenting Coaching, and later Relationship Coaching. In addition, I now have a special expertise and interest in Infidelity Recovery as many of the individuals, families, and couples I've worked with have been affected by this complex and little-understood issue.

With so many therapists to choose from, you're probably visiting my profile because you're struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety- the result of difficult life transitions such as divorce, loss, birth of a child, job stress, or relationship conflicts. Depression and anxiety can impair your ability to function at work and at home-compromising your interpersonal relationships as well. As a therapist practicing for over 30 years, I have concentrated my efforts on guiding individuals in discovering their personal strengths, reaching their maximum potential, achieving success, a sense of purpose and a sense of wellbeing.

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.
