It’s normal to need support, we all do at some time in our lives. Whether you’re going through a life transition, struggling as a parent, need extra support in your relationship, or feel stuck in a trauma from the past, it’s never too late to heal. Putting in the work to become the best version of yourself is the best investment you'll ever make. By integrating
Christian Counseling
along with traditional therapy, I have seen clients thrive by truly healing from the inside out. Our body is interconnected and one cannot be fully physically healthy if emotional health is suffering.

Seeking a therapist can be the beginning of new positive changes in your life. This process can be exciting and intimidating. An ideal therapist is one who is understanding, and offers a supportive environment. Building a positive self-image, developing healthy communication skills, strengthening relationships, and creating effective coping skills is our goal. I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is the strongest component of the therapy experience. Honesty and a straightforward approach is what you can expect. I love what I do, and I look forward to working with you.

IS ANXIETY STEALING YOUR JOY? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, feelings of loneliness and/or emptiness? Are you struggling with life changes, loss, feelings of hopelessness? Are you fearful about finding/losing love? Do you suffer with feelings of worthlessness or feel incapable of being loved? Healthy connections are a primary need that we all have. Healthy attachments help us regulate our emotions to live a joyful and peaceful life. Sometimes through life experiences, our ability to attach and connect in healthy ways gets disrupted, negatively impacting our lives and our ability to regulate our emotions.

Life is hard. And you are someone who deserves care, nurture, kindness, and healing. Sometimes, caring and loving ourselves can look like incorporating therapeutic support to help navigate through the difficulties of life. Therapy is a way of prioritizing yourself and your needs, and it’s an active step in the lifelong journey of healing and wellness. Whether you're trying to heal from wounds of the past, wounds of the present, trying to break patterns, build your sense of identity, or just need a safe place to be, therapy can help.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 United States, 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, 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.
