Do you need someone on "your side" in managing your interpersonal relationships? Do you have distress in dealing with a spouse, child or co-worker? If doing what you are doing now is not getting you the results you want, it may help to work with someone who can see your point of view and help you understand other people better. If you are "stuck" and troubled and need help in sorting out relationship issues, I can help as we insightfully explore how to make things better.

I believe that every human being has the ability to be the best person they can be. Everyone struggles at different times in life, some unfortunately, more than others complicated by circumstances, situations and relationships. I work with the understanding that we get stuck around negative emotions that we tend to avoid, as they are uncomfortable, unwanted and painful. I help people explore what their underlying core emotional issues are and help them clarify how they are avoiding them, inviting them to face these uncomfortable emotional experiences and move toward them, stretching their comfort zone.

Perhaps you're at the end of your rope, been abused, and feel deep, emotional pain, shame and guilt. Maybe you've had difficult months or years, and family members are really not there for you. Even your friends, although great, don't understand. Perhaps you tried many self-help remedies, and the bottom line is: Nothing changes. You may be a Bible-believing Christian, yet God seems a million miles away. Or perhaps you realized your issues, but don't know what to do or who to talk to. Conceivably, people's addictions and dysfunctions have created a trap, and you can't climb out.

I think that there is No ideal client. As a practitioner I am always amazed at what the clients bring to the Therapeutic Atmosphere. I think that therapy is a Learning experience for both the Client and the Practitioner; most of my clientele need to be heard as they may view the world and their circumstances in a different way. It is the gift of therapy to give them the tools to use in a righteous way, and discern possible alternatives they can utilize for their wellbeing and societal acceptance.

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.
