Through the incorporation of holistic mental health strategies where I work with the whole person and all aspects of their life, I am able to introduce proven strategies to children, teens, and young
adults
to help address their needs.
It doesn’t feel good to not feel ok. Feelings of stress, anxiousness, and overall discontentment can negatively impact your entire life. When things get like this, work can become hard, school may not be helpful or enjoyable, and relationships might be difficult to navigate. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Starting therapy with a qualified therapist can provide you with the help you need, and I can help you take that first step.

I provide individual counseling to
adults
and adolescents as well as couples counseling.
Many events in life that bring us joy also come with stress, uncertainty & loss. While struggles experienced from major life transitions can be painful, they provide us with opportunities for growth. Working with clients who are adjusting to a major life change is something I am passionate about as a therapist. Getting married, starting a family, struggling in a relationship, contemplating or going through divorce, changing or leaving a career, becoming empty nesters, these are common transitions that can be hard to deal with and make us question our identity. If you need support dealing with a major life change I'm here to help.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 United States, 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.
