Do you sometimes ask yourself: I feel angry, disappointed, or depressed. What can I do? I tried everything, nothing works in the long term. Why are my relationships so unfulfilling? During sessions, you are guided to discover the parts of your Self that are in conflict. They have conflicting goals, perspectives, and beliefs. Those "parts" often pull you in opposite directions - "I want to eat, but I also want to lose weight" for example. Then you criticize yourself for not being more responsible, productive, etc... Get to understand why they pull you in opposite directions and how to negotiate with them.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― C. Rogers I firmly believe that having a space to process and plan, albeit uncomfortable a times, translates to healing and a more fulfilling life. An understanding of ourselves brings forth self-compassion, self-awareness and alignment between goals and day-to-day actions.As we become attuned to our true selves and our vision for our lives we can foster better personal and professional relationships.

Successful on the outside, but suffering on the inside? Have you experienced therapy sessions where you've talked at length, felt better in the moment, but ultimately noticed little change in your life? Or perhaps you've had therapists who've given you sound advice, but somehow, you just can't seem to implement it. If this sounds like you, experiential and integrative therapy approaches that I offer may be a good fit for you.

Ineffective therapy can feel like an endless routine of talking without a plan for change. Are you ready to make true life changes, move beyond just talking and do the work that will help you move past your challenges? Together we can create change. First, we will take time to learn about your unique situation, complex identities, and life circumstances. Then, we will develop a plan. Next, you will learn a replicable process: identify achievable goals, overcome barriers to change, learn and master new skills. I believe you can learn the skills needed to overcome your challenges.

The idea of therapy might seem like a daunting or even dreadful experience, especially if you already have so much on your plate. You might be juggling a lot right now- school and/or work, family, friends, and relationships while simultaneously feeling lost, unmotivated, exhausted and overwhelmed. Feelings of anxiety and depression might even feel like the norm, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment and use evidence-based treatment methods to help you take on life’s challenges.

The world is really challenging right now; it makes sense that you would feel anxious, depressed or not yourself. No part of our lives has gone untouched. I find that having someone to listen, remind you of your strengths, and help you discover new parts of yourself and new ways to feel better are what make a difference. I help adults with depression, anxiety, loss of meaning, phase of life issues, unresolved life events, and transitions.

Excessive anxiety and depression or another source of distress may be robbing you of simple, everyday pleasures. These weighty feelings have become or always were intrusive, occupying too much of your mental space. Finding an effective therapist greatly impacts the therapeutic process and outcome, but can be challenging. Yet, you've already taken the first step to feeling better by beginning your search.

I imagine that you’re looking at this listing because you’re dealing with a problem that you haven’t been able to solve on your own. You may be feeling agitated and worried much of the day, having trouble sleeping, or feeling lost or lonely or down in the dumps. You might be struggling with getting a handle on a habit that you can’t seem to change. Or you may be having difficulty relating to other people, speaking up for yourself, or dealing with anger. Your problem might not even be clearly defined, or you may feel overwhelmed by multiple problems and don’t know where to start. All you know is that something feels not-quite-right.

I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions and stress. I am committed to assisting clients with decreasing their mental health symptoms by identifying and changing unhealthy behaviors and thoughts. In order to do this, it is important to discover and practice adaptive alternative behaviors and thoughts, healthy coping-skills and self-care. In addition, I believe that in order to achieve change every client should have a supportive and comfortable therapeutic space, and I enjoy creating that for my clients.

I utilize these approaches in my work, incorporating techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing (MI) depending on client need.

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.
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.
