I specialize in the treatment of trauma and postpartum mental health concerns. Whether you are trying to recover from traumatic experiences that are impacting your life and relationships, or pregnancy and childbirth have triggered unexpected emotions and difficulties, your story matters.

People come to me seeking change. Change comes from learning and doing. For me, therapy is helping others learn about themselves, learn new skills, and then translate that learning into new ways of doing. I offer a compassionate, effective approach. Change is within reach.

I specialize in treating clients with a variety of emotional-social difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, and recovering from sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and client, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Together you and I will work on reducing symptoms and enriching your life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I appeal best with clients who have identified that some aspect of their life has stopped working for them, or never really worked at all. People who seek out a counselor to validate the fact that change is necessary, and desire professional help to collaborate in identifying their own natural strengths (or at least potential capabilities) towards overcoming difficulties and just need a personal team player. These people are exciting to work with, from individuals to couples. My hope is that my warm and inviting office atmosphere and my own experience and skills can motivate mental healing .

My primary focus is to help individuals identify their true value in their authentic selves in a caring and safe environment. I created Inner Core Counseling based on a belief that we can change our negative dysfunctional core beliefs, into positive functional core beliefs, providing the ability to progress and bring forth that strength we all have inside of us...to overcome depression, anxiety, addictions, and grief, as well as other issues that bring unhappiness and distress into our lives. I strive to help my clients find the peace and happiness needed for a fulfilling life.

Have you been experiencing a gap between the reality you are living and the life you want to live? Throughout our lives, we will face constant exposure to reality gaps— the reality we live versus the reality we want. Because of this, feelings of pain are inevitable. It’s my belief that feeling pain, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction with your life doesn’t mean you’re defective; it means you’re human. Despite this human condition, psychological suffering is not your life’s purpose. Living a rich, full, and meaningful life is.

Waitlist for new clients
Take a deep breath - you being here is a brave step in your healing journey! Being vulnerable is scary and finding someone to be vulnerable with can be even scarier. You don't have to have all the answers and it's okay to ask for help to better your life. I am here to help you in the process of opening up, increasing self-awareness and personal growth to be who you want to be. You are the reason that I am here. Note: I will be on personal leave until November, you can get on my waitlist.

A wise artist once said, "The truth is, I need help, but I just can't imagine who I'd be if I was happy." It's common to feel more comfortable in a state of depression, anxiety, or stress when these have been your only companions. What would it be like if you were happy? I am not here to promise a constant state of happiness, but I will promise that I will accompany and support you in your journey toward healing and peace.

Working with those feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism, grief, life changes, or a traumatic event is such important work. You might struggle with feeling tired and have an overwhelming sense of anxiety and/or depression. Those who have always felt strong and independent cannot understand why they are unable to do this one thing on their own - why they continue to feel so alone. Please know, it is totally okay to NOT be okay and that you don't need to go it alone.

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.

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.
