Do you have a challenge you would like to overcome? Do you sometimes feel isolated and unable to connect with others because you have problems you can't share? Life presents us all, at times, with obstacles and challenges. My practice is centered on providing a supportive environment for individuals and families to make changes, grow personally, and overcome the obstacles preventing them from from fully experiencing the joy of life. Together, we work to gain insight into the causes of conflict and personal challenge, and develop strategies and learn new skills to succeed now and in the future.

You’re driven and successful yet still struggle with bouts of self doubt, perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, or triggers from unhealed trauma. Maybe you’ve encountered some recent life transitions that left you feeling not at all like yourself but feeling inadequate, lost or stuck. Your mind is on overdrive 24/7! You long to feel control over choices in how you think and feel. You want the power to choose how you respond to what you are feeling. You want to find your balanced mind and take your power back and finally say SEE YA to the overthinking spirals you get stuck in almost every day!

My ideal client is someone who is motivated and goal-oriented - even if you don't yet know what those goals are! My favorite clients are the ones who come to session ready to get to work, and can be open and honest with me about what's going on - including what's going well, or perhaps what isn't working for them right here in therapy.

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.
