Are you feeling stuck? Do you often feel anxious, even when things are going smoothly? Do you have a lot to be grateful for, but find it hard to feel satisfied? Do you notice frustrating patterns in your life, or often wonder about your purpose? The world around us is fast and overwhelming. We might find ourselves feeling alone or unable to process experiences from our past, present, or thoughts about our future. As a therapist, I provide a place to slow down and explore; to better understand yourself, your choices, and what you want from your life.

Hello, friends. Are you emotionally exhausted due to chronic stress, ongoing conflicts, or unresolved trauma? Are you utterly overwhelmed after attempting to secure meaningful connections with family, friends, or loved ones? If so, you are not alone. Several children maintain the notion that "parents just don't understand." Conversely, many parents believe their children are emotionally detached from family. If this sounds like your case. . .I am extending my "virtual" hand. Let us work together to overcome issues that have long stopped you and your family from being happy, healthy, and whole.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern in the state of Florida who helps individuals, families, and communities cope with life's obstacles and relational conflicts to work towards thriving instead of surviving. I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University. I also have a Mental Health, Addiction, and the Family Certificate. Small issues turn into larger issues if they are not resolved properly. I do this work to provide access and awareness to populations who seldom take advantage of life-changing solutions that therapy and coaching offer.

I NEED HELP!! Now more than ever before there is a need for mental health counseling. The psychosocial stressors caused by the pandemic - the physical risks, the daily disruptions, uncertainty, social isolation, financial loss - coupled with feelings of helplessness, hopelessness (all known to affect mental health and thereby physical health) are legend. In my practice I see individuals, couples, and children ages 8 through the teenage years. I've had much success with parents reaching out for help with their children who are experiencing the same psychological toll of the unnatural circumstance of isolation at home.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
