I offer therapy to individuals, families and couples who are hoping to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life and that I am there as a helpful resource to offer support, reflect on patterns of behavior that may no longer serve you, and to offer encouragement and guidance to release the painful hurt of the past while moving forward to embrace a better tomorrow.

I work with teens, individuals, and couples who have anxiety or depression, have been through trauma, are experiencing a struggle in their relationships or marriage, are trying to decide whether to stay in their marriage, suffer with alcohol or drug issues, have experienced infidelity in their relationship, or struggles in their careers. My approach comes from advanced training in evidenced based, scientifically proven treatment that I have gained over several decades. I love meeting my clients, exploring where they want to be and watching them grow.

A light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Many experience a crisis of faith in troubling times. Perhaps you're facing grief, trauma, life changes, illness, or other difficulties. Maybe you're having trouble figuring out why these things are happening to you and it just doesn't seem fair. The truth is, we can't prepare for everything and sometimes we need a little help. In our first session I really want to understand your needs and how I can be most helpful. My goal is make sure you feel heard and know that there is in fact a light in the darkness and I'm here to help you find it.

My goal is to provide support and empower each individual I work with to feel happier and to progress towards accomplishing their target goals. I work with individuals to help empower them to achieve an overall sense of wellness. I am able to treat co-occurring disorders such as mental health concerns, substance use concerns, stress management, grief and loss, relationship challenges, thinking pattern issues, and ineffective coping skills. I believe a person should be treated from a holistic approach, allowing them to work on their entire self in one place.

This anxiety is relentless. It’s been going on for so long that you can’t remember what life is like without it. You have two modes – anxious and extremely anxious. It blows you away to hear people say you have it together, because you know you don’t. Somehow, you’re pulling off life and looking successful, but on the inside you’re a wreck. The thoughts about all the ways you’re not good enough never let up. The anxiety and critical voices are what keep you from failing, right? They won’t allow you to slack off, to relax, to stop worrying. It’s beginning to take a toll on your relationships, your physical health, and on your life.

If you are trying to manage getting through a traumatic experience, riding the wave of up and down emotions, having relationship conflicts, or just need some assistance with life planning I can help provide direction and healing. I have been trained and enjoy using expertise in areas such as dialectical behavior therapy to assist with emotional regulation, increasing connection to the present moment, managing interpersonal relationships, and getting through crisis situations. I also enjoy using the modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing) to work on reducing emotions and behaviors related to past trauma.

In a small community, seeking help can be hard, embarrassing, and even shameful whether it's for you, your spouse, or your children. Do not let the stigma of asking for help hinder you from getting back to the person you want to be. This professional, comfortable, laid-back and private environment focuses on quality connection to support moving you from where you are, to the place you want to be. Life transitions, divorce, trauma, betrayal, personal challenges, loss, or sometimes a strong feeling or worry or sadness that just does not go away can all be reasons that counseling can be helpful.

Life hands you all sorts of experiences that shape the lens through which you see the world. Our bodies and brains naturally adapt to these experiences, but can sometimes result in mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Support can help you learn to set boundaries, and work through a loss or life transition - it could be changing a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Our goal is to help you feel better so you can live better.

No matter what our age or stage of life, there is a lot of pressure to be more, do more, to feel a certain way, or to do things “right” the first time. I approach counseling as a team effort; working with my clients to get to know them and collaborating with them to build paths forward to feeling better in their own time. I seek to know my clients’ strengths and joys as well as their challenges, and to approach the therapy process as a journey of growth that we go on, not a destination to reach. My clients include: college students, middle and later adulthood, teens, adolescents age 11+ , and couples.

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.
