From my experience, I continue to observe that mental health is the foundation of health. It has been a privilege to work with and learn from clients since 2005 in various settings. My strength-based approach allows individuals, couples and families to experience a safe environment in which to increase knowledge and awareness regarding emotions. Psychoeducation is a key at Aim Counseling. Knowledge is power and a means in which to learn how to be more in control of the abstract experience of emotions.

Life is a journey. Like all journeys, there are times we feel overwhelmed, tired, confused, or even lost. The most important journey of all is the journey inwards, the one that takes us towards our true self. This journey helps us learn, accept, and embrace who we are. If you're encountering any struggles on your journey in life -- anxiety, depression, life transitions, addiction, coming out -- then I'm here to help.

In a busy and often disconnected world, it's easy to feel lost, lonely, and overwhelmed. Even when surrounded by people, you can find yourself wondering if anyone really understands you. You may even feel it's difficult to understand yourself. I know it can be scary, exhausting, and confusing to face whatever your troubles are, but there's hope and there's help for you. I give individuals and couples a safe place to feel heard and understood as we face your difficulties as a team. You'll have a caring and experienced professional walking alongside you as you explore and overcome the issues that hold you back and hurt you.

You will reach out to me because there is something in your life that feels wrong, or an event that you don't feel equipped to cope with. Perhaps you have a long-term concern that you finally want to come to terms with. We will look at the circumstances that brought you to this point, and together we will build on your strengths and work towards goals that are manageable for you.It takes courage to change; it often takes some emotional pain to bring you here, as well. Whatever has brought you here, I salute you for taking that first step! We will always work at your pace, and I will always be straightforward with you!

Our Transitional Outpatient Services provide relevant counseling to individuals and families; and one-on-one personal mentoring to aid clients transitioning from treatment into recovery. We also provide ongoing remote recovery coaching that provides clients enhanced support developing accountability in their transition period into an early recovery lifestyle. Ongoing support that comes from counseling, outpatient services and 12-step programs, sometimes isn't enough to make a thorough transition. It is hard to create relevance in treatment.

Are you in a relationship where the fighting is becoming greater than the satisfaction of being with your partner? Have you or your partner had an affair? Is your sex life a disappointment? Are you and your partner experiencing the intimacy you yearn for inside and outside the bedroom? Are you struggling with sexual pain?

I became a mental health counselor or therapist- whatever you prefer to call me- but a person who believes that there are times in all our lives when we could use someone to help us work through whatever issues/concerns/crisis/problems we are facing to help us to work through them and come out in a more positive place on the other side. I have worked as a Counselor for over 6 years, assisting clients with many issues including self-esteem, career problems, anxiety, depression, communication skills, decision-making, LGBQ related concerns, boundaries, burn-out, parenting, spiritual and existential questions, and relationships.

As humans, we experience a range of emotions, some more comfortable than others. Many changes can occur as we go through life and with these changes can come emotional, behavioral, and/or social difficulties. It is my goal to assist in developing the resiliency that can allow an individual to effectively navigate these challenges and minimize the potential impact that they may have. Whether it's anxiety, depression, life transitions, I am happy to have the opportunity to be a part of your mental health journey.

In psychodynamic treatment, we enter a journey together to understand behaviors and feelings that just don't make sense; to Prevent the Past from interfering in the Present; to improve personal relationships; to change lifelong ways of coping that don't work; and finally to stop self-destructive behavior patterns. Please consider our work together an adventure in life - and not that of a "sick" patient with an all-knowing doctor! I welcome you to make an exciting journey with me that promotes self-understanding, a internal sense of peace, and the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
