Life is a gift, but as we all know, life is not without challenges. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, stress, and relationship issues such as reducing conflict and people pleasing can be difficult to navigate on your own. Together we can work through stuck patterns that feel overwhelming and find new pathways that can lead to a more balanced and rewarding life. My approach is engaging, warm and accepting. It embraces seeing people for who they are as individuals; the experiences, thoughts and feelings that make us unique and influence our decisions.

I believe each person has the capability to change their life for the better and am honored to assist in this process. I am also a firm believer that laughter is excellent medicine for the mind and soul. When appropriate, I incorporate humor into my therapeutic style. After all, just because we are doing difficult work, does not mean we can't smile or laugh along the way. I operate from a philosophy which emphasizes an individual's exploration into identifying faulty assumptions or unhealthy thought patterns which may impact their daily activities and interactions with others.

Are you struggling, feel lost or uncertain about which direction you are going in life. We all go through things in life that have caused us to feel sadness, anxiety and even hopelessness about the future. It is "ok" to accept help and support through difficult times. It is also "ok" to not be "ok" all the time and this is where I can help you through this process. I believe that when a person is struggling from past and/or present issues and they feel like no one hears them or understands, it can become very debilitating in everyday life. I will listen and guide you through the process of healing through your struggles.

You know you're qualified for your position, but you find yourself feeling isolated and alone in your office.

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.
