Why does it all feel out of control? You are trying so hard to keep it all together. The dishes and laundry keep piling up. Kids' schedules are packed and overwhelming. No matte how hard you try, you can't seem to catch up. Why do you feel so angry and depressed all the time? You know your partner is the love of your life, but when you try to talk to them you just end up fighting. Instead of feeling loved or supported, you feel even more like a failure. You treat yourself to a glass of wine at night, or two, or the bottle. It's definitely not a problem...

My number one priority is for my clients to feel comfortable. I take a laid-back approach that is fairly directive yet very empathic. Psychoeducation and self-esteem work are major parts of my practice as I utilize these tools to empower my clients. I also focus on coping skills and the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors (CBT-focused). I like to be transparent with clients and increase their comfortability by letting my own personality shine through.

Have you ever thought to yourself - "I freeze every time I have to perform". "My nerves always get the best of me". "I need someone to talk to, but I don't want to burden anyone". "I feel sad but I'm not sure why". "I'll never be good enough". Do you relate to any of these statements? You are worthy of a better life and together we can get there.

As my ideal client, you recognize that you are concerned about the situation in your life that is causing you distress, and are willing to learn what YOU can do to change the condition. You recognize that you are ready to give up the "status quo", any sense of victimhood, and that you can; and are willing; to make changes within yourself that will be a positive influence on the outer experience. You are the responsible type that keeps appointments and a clean financial status. And, you will recognize that you and I are a likely a good match.

Welcome to my profile! If you’re here, you’ve already taken a tremendous step. Contemplating seeking professional help can be a daunting prospect, however, once you’ve met with a therapist you may well start feeling better already. My goal is to create the kind of environment that feels safe enough to explore whatever issue is causing you distress, and to work with you in exploring options for relieving that discomfort. I believe people come to counseling for numerous reasons, but all with the same goal, to feel better.

Life creates many obstacles and we do our best to provide balance in our lives. Families can be in need of more efficient structure and boundaries. Couples experience hurt and difficulties when attempting to communicate feelings and work through yesterday and today's problems. Individuals may find life difficult to manage when struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or mental illnesses. In addition, other relationship challenges, transitions, and past trauma can make finding balance even more difficult.

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.
