Women have a greater demand to multitask, and so are more susceptible to increased stressors. I want to help mitigate those difficulties my clients experience and help improve their stress management, as well as other related emotional issues. Collegiate mental health is also of special interest to me. I understand a lot of the emotional or mental challenges that come along with pursuing a college education, so I enjoy working with non-traditional and traditional college populations. My goal is to get to know my clients to provide the best individualized care for positive outcomes.

You're wondering how life reached this current state. Gathering the energy to face another day seems almost insurmountable. The person you used to be feels distant, and this disconnection is affecting not just your relationship with yourself, but also with the people who matter most—your spouse, children, friends, and family. You might notice yourself retreating in frustration or exhaustion, while also worrying that others are distancing themselves from you. Even your faith, once a reliable source of hope, has felt increasingly remote.

If you’re reading this, life might feel entirely overwhelming, and you’ve probably reached your limit of helping yourself feel better. Your past experiences, your current reality, and your current mental state have combined to create internal turmoil and suffering, which have made life difficult. You’ve more than likely tried at least three TikTok anxiety/depression hacks or every breathing exercise on the Calm app. Or, you’ve entirely avoided acknowledging how you’re feeling, allowed your emotions to build inside of you, and realized that you’re about to explode and you just need someone to help you. I'm here to be that person.

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.
