If you find yourself in the midst of profound darkness, I would love to help you reclaim your life, however I see clients with a wide variety of troubles. I enjoy meeting with adults who find themselves deconstructing their trauma, family dynamics, spirituality, and/or grief. I also enjoy meeting with young adults through their late teens and twenties as they navigate many life transitions which require some extra guidance and compassion. Along with trauma care, I see clients struggling with depression, anxiety, abuse (sexual, physical, psychological/emotional, and spiritual), emotional turmoil, addiction, and mental illnesses.

Healing can start with our relationship as client and therapist. Together we will build a safe space for you to meet your fears and rediscover yourself, your needs and wants. You can feel empowered to share with confidence

Life’s complexities and broken relationships can twist and distort the life we were meant to live. We long to experience the fullness of life, but sometimes we find ourselves…stuck. Perhaps you can relate. Or maybe you can resonate with poet Mary Oliver when she asks “are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?” Whatever part of your story you may find yourself in… whether it be the beginning, the aftermath, the thick of it… it all matters. Our stories make us who we are, and I genuinely want to hear yours.

Hi! I'm Chloee and I'm so glad you found your way here. Sometimes life can feel difficult, maybe a little confusing. Or maybe you just don’t feel like you’re where you want to be, or where you want your life to be. Perhaps you feel this way, and maybe you’re questioning what to do and where to go next but you’re just not sure—you’re stuck. Or, maybe you’re stuck but don’t even know why. It can be difficult and defeating feeling this way. It might even make life feel stagnant, like there’s no hope. You may wonder, “how do I get past this?” It’s okay. I know you might feel lost or not like yourself, but I can help you find YOU again.

I love working with best friends who are trying to get their sexual spark back. Many of my clients have been together for years and actually get along pretty well. They have good communication, they are partnered well and they treat each other with respect. However, they struggle to want to have sex with one another. They love each other and enjoy each other's time, but they struggle to take sexual chances, try new things and have fun in the bedroom. They essentially have "friend zoned" each other. My work is to help give these couples that special nudge to make sex a priority and enjoy sex again as a team.

I believe people are unique and therefore there is no cookie cutter approach to working with clients. My experience is that everyone has the capacity to find their way to solutions and hold the answers to the questions they seek but may need guidance in the process. I believe in the "stool" approach to life. We all have our stool and it has three legs: Physical, Emotional and Spiritual. If any of these legs is shorter or longer than the others we are off balance. The more off balance the stool is, the more uncomfortable we are in life.

My goal in counseling is to create a safe and collaborative environment in which an individual, couple or family can explore and make sense of how their inner experiences and relationship patterns are either restricting or fostering a greater sense of connection with themselves and others. I specialize in working with couples, adults, families with adult children, clergy or religious professionals impacted by childhood abuse and neglect, grief and loss, underdeveloped communication and conflict resolution skills, spiritual abuse and trauma, anxiety and depression, and divorce and remarriage.

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.
