I work with individuals who want to understand themselves better, desire improvement in the quality of their relationships, repeat unhealthy and unsatisfying patterns, are looking to navigate a current life transition, or feel stuck. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I held a corporate career in a highly competitive environment, therefore I am intimately aware of the challenges, stressors, and personalities which often trigger issues that hinder individuals from achieving their highest potential.

Let’s not waste any more time being unhappy, unfulfilled, and stuck. To thrive as people, we need to recognize our values and goals. Those values and goals change throughout time, as we age. Change is constant. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable. But it’s time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable means you’re growing. Being uncomfortable means you’re challenging yourself. And before we get too far, I am not talking about inappropriate discomfort. I will teach you the difference. If you are too afraid of change, to embrace change, I probably will not be the right fit for you as a therapist.

You’re nervous, worried and feel like you’re living in the past. It feels like it is haunting you. Relationships feel scary because of how you’ve been hurt or let down by people in your life. You know you are ready for the next chapter but you just aren’t sure how to get there or move on. Feelings of overwhelm, being “stuck” and anxiety are feelings that you have come to know too well. You remember a time when you didn’t feel this way, but that was before “that” happened. While it is hard to imagine now, I want you to know there is a reality where you can move on from past hurt and thrive.

Are you having relationship difficulties? Do you feel stuck/hopeless? Are you suffering from a loss? Are you struggling with a life transition?
Maybe you have days where you feel totally alone, overwhelmed or misunderstood.
You may be holding all of this inside or maybe you've tried to talk to friends or family, but just end up confused.
You don't have to struggle with this by yourself. I'd like to help guide you through your struggles and help you to find the true joy in living again (or maybe for the first time).

You are not the problem; the problem is the problem. Problems may tell you a story of shame, pain, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or feelings of inadequacy. There is a path out of that story, toward healing. Reclaiming yourself and creating space from these problems sets the stage for you to take your power back. Seeking therapy can be a challenging process—from giving yourself permission to begin, to finding the right therapist once you do.

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.
