Through years of home and community-based mental health experience, I've developed a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults deepen their connections to others and to themselves. As a former clinician in early intervention, I've worked closely with clients facing peri- and postnatal mood and anxiety symptoms, those impacted by NICU journeys, trauma and loss, neurodiversity, complex medical conditions, new or chronic mental health symptoms, ADHD and attachment disruptions. For adults and parents, children and teens, I bring a warm, collaborative and client-centered approach to therapy.

My goal is to foster an empathetic and trustworthy relationship so you can explore what is it that your struggling with in a non-judgmental place.

This can lead to behaviors that aren't congruent with the goals we have in mind for ourselves. I want to help you coordinate your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to ultimately get you to a place of happiness.

The purpose of life is to live a joyous existence. Sometimes easier said than done. But therapy is about empowering people to do just that. Figuring out how to, for example, like yourself better; unapologetically and adeptly be the real you; engage meaningfully and effectively with others; recover from an affair or other breach of trust; navigate divorce and remarriage. What you privately think & feel about yourself; what you think and feel about your relationships, and how skillfully you operate are fundamental to quality of life. I have over 30 years experience assisting individuals and couples achieve their best lives.

I specialize in working with couples with an unique method that combines mediation with couples counseling. It is a fast and effective method to help couples improve their communication, rebuild trust and reconnect with each other. This approach provides a safe environment and a structure where partners can have difficult conversations with each other while gaining a deeper understanding of the dynamics that lead to conflict and tension in the relationship. Understanding these patterns that undermine the relationship is essential in figuring out strategies to get "unstuck" and to make the necessary changes.

As clients explore the challenges that have led them to therapy, my goal is to provide a space where they find support without judgement and build a genuine, strong connection, as I recognize the difficulty clients face in managing their symptoms and how hard it can be to find the right support. For those experiencing the isolation of long-standing concerns from childhood or who are managing the current challenges of a loved one or relationship, I meet my clients in whatever state of readiness or need they may find themselves, exploring a range of symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD or mood disruptions.

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.
