Have you ever felt helpless, hopeless, powerless, worthless, lost, alone or confused? How about angry, hurt, frustrated or sad? Then you are not alone. Counseling helped me and my family after a tragedy to redefine our journey and know that our story was not over. Strangely enough, because of this tragedy, I have learned to live in excitement of what the next page of my story will be. As a therapist, I now have the opportunity to help other people know their story is not over and help to write their next page.

Good Day and nice to meet you. After having my son with ASD, I saw the need to further pursue Mental Health and so as soon as he became more independent, I started my journey towards becoming a mental health clinician. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University in 2022. An ideal client is cognizant about what they are experiencing, knows what needs they yearn for, and envisions the goals that would satiate those needs. An ideal client, wants to have an overall sense of mental health well-being, so that they strive towards a fulfilling resolve. It is important to know that sometimes the light can come out of the darkest places.

I have always used a more integrative approach in order to fit the needs of my clients. At times therapy can be difficult, and it’s my job to help make the experience of introspection, self-discovery, and healing feel as comfortable as possible. I enjoy spending time getting to know you and the important people or things in your life, how you experience joy, and how you manage your troubles. I take a non-judgmental, holistic view of a person to better understand how different aspects of life interact and may contribute to stress.

Life has become exhausting, disheartening, and downright difficult. In fact, it's felt like that for some time now. Despite your successes, it feels like you've been going through life trying to force a square peg into a round hole. You've not been able to cultivate the life you want for yourself. Anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and hopelessness have become all too routine. These painful feelings often show themselves in conflicts with your meaningful relationships, difficulties at work or school, and diminishing motivation and energy level.

I can provide the help that you need to feel better about yourself and gain more confidence. The clients that i generally see, tend to struggle with making decisions that they feel like they have to make, or should make, rather than those that they want to make.

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, 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.
