I believe that people are more than the challenges they face, and that individuals have resiliency that they may not yet realize. It is my conviction that therapy should be a safe place based on trust, and which creates a space for positive change. I work with children, individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with anxiety, communication, relational issues, school challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. My approach is strength based and non-judgmental. I would be happy to join you during your challenging times and provide the support you are looking for while you discover your strengths.

I believe that we all struggle in our daily lives to make sense of things with every challenge that befalls us. Whether you are dealing with a long term issue, an immediate crisis, or anything in between, I want to reassure you that I provide a very comfortable and supportive environment by which you and I can work together to help you overcome whatever challenges you are facing. To me, the most important part of therapy is making a connection with the client and what I believe makes me different from other therapists is my ability to form that connection.

Are you in emotional pain? Stressed, stuck in worry, exhaustion, or anger? Are you repeating the same type of relationship, pattern, or life situation, wishing you could change something or break the cycle? Or maybe, you've noticed that little things have become much more frustrating or stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what is causing our distress, but we can sense that we're not reaching our full potential for health, happiness, or success. And, even if we do know what the issue is, sometimes change can still feel impossible. That's where I can help. I can teach you practical tools you can use to change your life.

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.
