Life can include so many exciting, adventurous, pleasurable planned or unplanned experiences that make it interesting, while other experiences can be overwhelming, unexpected, scary, lonely, or even dangerous to live through. You are NOT alone; these experiences are common in human nature, and we don't always have the best skills to manage through them and we end up being left with our own devices (I like to call these your "survival skills"). These devices have got you through majority of your life and they worked, but maybe know not as well as they did before...

Are you ready to feel like yourself again? Maybe you're wanting to prioritize your mental health and wellbeing but aren’t quite sure where to start. Do you feel exhausted from taking care of others and neglecting your own needs. You are not alone... Life is filled with many transitions that don’t come with an instruction manual. When we are unprepared for life’s challenges, they can leave us feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. Those feelings may affect our relationships, work, self-esteem, and ability to function day to day.

Everyone needs therapy. Some of us just choose to distract ourselves with the day-to-day madness. The problem with this is that life will eventually slow you down and you are unable to use those distractions. This is typically when you may feel hit hard by anxiety, panic, and depression. We will start with coping skills and mindfulness but I am here for the long haul. I am a damn good therapist, and I want to help you truly heal.

An individual’s life journey can sometimes lead them to walk “through the woods” with difficult, frightening, and sometimes painful experiences that may impact their present and future thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and interactions. Human nature is meant to thrive in relationships with others and not in isolation, which is why these situations can, at times, feel daunting and stressful to navigate on their own. I aspire to be a safe, guiding presence during the personal and unique challenges that life presents. Whether processing traumatic experiences, relationships, or daily challenges, I am here to help you meet your goals!

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.
What type of therapist is right for me?
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.
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 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.
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.
