Feeling overwhelmed by uncomfortable emotions like anxiety, sadness, grief or stress? If you are ready to experience compassionate support, personal growth, and meaningful change, you’ve found the right place. For over 15 years, I've been using collaborative evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients develop coping skills for managing stress and emotions. I also offer Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for those interested in mindfulness and achieving values-driven personal goals, and Schema Therapy - an integrative approach to challenge long-standing unhelpful life and relationship patterns.

I approach every client as a valuable and whole individual who I am honored to work alongside in an effort to meet your/their therapeutic goals.

Are you struggling with your past? Anxiety? Depression? Many people believe trauma is limited to large events such as sexual assault, domestic violence, or natural disasters. What they don't realize is that trauma comes in all sizes, little "t"s and big "T"s. Experiences like shame, humiliation, bullying, and family dynamics, are often not taken into account but can cause similar harm.

Seeking a safe and supportive counseling relationship can be the first step to your best mental health and wellness. As a counselor I help pre-teens, teens, and adults navigate a wide range of human experiences: depression, anxiety, fear, family conflict, trauma, as well as the ordinary changes and transitions of life.

I enjoy working with children with anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My goal is always to create a warm, fun environment that children enjoy and to model skills that are practical to take out of the office and use at home. I use a combination of ABA and CBT techniques based on the needs of the child and family. I'm also skilled in working with young adults on the autism spectrum on social/self-management skills and women in the pregnancy and postpartum stages of their lives. As a mother and parent myself, I am particularly honored to hold space for women navigating the challenges of pregnancy and new parenthood.

I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist. Someone that is safe and non-judgemental to unpack some of the things that may be causing stress, anxiety or even depression. Though it may be tempting to choose someone that will "fix all of your problems", I will challenge you to work together with me in exploring how past and present experiences are currently affecting your overall mood and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an additional license as a registered nurse. My private psychology practice focuses on people who have had difficult and trying life experiences. Perhaps you have suffered abuse. Perhaps you lost a friend or loved one. Perhaps you or a loved one suffers from a rare, chronic, or life-threatening illness, and people don't understand. Maybe your present relationships have been affected by your suffering. Perhaps you are depressed, anxious, or have turned to addictions to cope. But you want to flourish despite these obstacles. You know that you can, but you feel 'stuck.'

I've been counseling children and parents for over 15 years. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, depression, emotional dysregulation issues, and parenting difficulties. I use art and creative interventions in my work with children. I also involve parents in sessions to give them the tools they need to better support their child. I enjoy working individually with parents who have childhood trauma that has resurfaced since becoming a parent to learn how it impacts them in the present day. I offer a warm approach and take time to understand and connect with the people I see.

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.
