My goal is to empower
women
with the skills they need to unapologetically live their lives.
Are you struggling with people pleasing, perfectionism, or codependency? Do you feel like you don't know who you are or what you want because you are too busy taking care of everybody else's needs? You may feel resentful, anxious, and overwhelmed because you have lost your way and you want to get back on the right path. You feel exhausted, but you still power through even though you feel like you have nothing left to give. It doesn't have to be this way. Therapy can help.

women
need therapy too! I am committed to helping empower
women
who look like they have it all together on the outside but actually struggle with low self-confidence, codependency, negative self-talk, patterns of poor decision making, lack of assertiveness, anxiety or depression.
On the outside you look like you have it all together, but you definitely don't feel that way. Although your life is good, you just aren’t happy. You're discontent and unsure of yourself. You struggle to set boundaries and prioritize self-care. You feel stuck and want things to change, but you don’t know how to make that happen. You feel overwhelmed at times. Perhaps you need help working through a specific problem. Sometimes you feel depressed or anxious and you don't know how to get out of it. You now recognize that you need the help of an unbiased, supportive, competent professional to teach you better ways to cope.

Emotional, communication and sexual problems quickly get resolved as loving feelings intensify.

Men and
women
often have very different perceptual styles.
I enjoy helping clients become motivated to make life changes while exploring their inner self. When experiences are reviewed, they are often examined from a different vantage point, proffering insight to begin the journey of change. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with relationship difficulties, childhood spectrum disorders (ADD, ADHD), self-esteem and self-empowerment struggles, goal management, career issues, familial concerns, and grief and loss. I'm also interested in the intersection of psychopathy, triangulated interactions (especially related to jealousy), and manipulative tactics within relationships.

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.
