The journey to mental wellness is often marked with pain, confusion, and loneliness. Ultimately, we all want to feel seen and valued. Maybe you're someone who struggles with feelings of powerlessness, fear, or depression. Maybe you've been feeling your life no longer has purpose and you struggle to find meaning in daily activities. To cope with pain, you may have turned to substance use in an attempt to alleviate the hardships of life. I can help you reach your wellness goals through counseling.

You wake up with your daily “to do list” flooding your mind. Your days are spent caring for everyone else or trying to keep up with your responsibilities. There is no time for yourself. Feeling burnt out, you are no longer content with the life you once held as your dream. Every day feels draining and mundane. Anxiety overwhelms you as you keep up with life's demands. You wonder if there is a way to find joy in the things you once loved. You push through each day not feeling well, unfocused, and irritable; all the while wanting to feel fulfilled in the life you are creating.

Life can be a difficult journey at times, and during those times it can be helpful to have someone who can help by sharing the load. Regardless of what type of struggle you are dealing with, we can work together to help you learn new ways of managing those tough times, which will allow you to develop skills for future reference as you continue to travel through life. Since I was a young child I have helped others, and it continues to be a passion of mine to this day. As a nurse and a counselor I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life including children through mature adults.

I know wading through Psychology Today profiles is overwhelming. You are frustrated, hurting, or worried because of trauma, anxiety, depression, or parenting struggles, and just want to find the person you can truly connect with; someone who gets it. Regardless of the cause, you are experiencing the negative impact on your quality of life including the areas of mood, behavior, self-esteem, self-worth, relationships, and school or work performance. You may be stuck in the "what ifs" and wonder "How can this change?" or "How can I have a better relationship with my kid?" You want to see clearly how I can help you or your child.

Have you ever felt as if you failed your child as a parent? Does your child no longer have that same bubbly smile and personality? You see the pain and emptiness in your child's eyes, and you just want to help them heal emotionally. Your child's behaviors often disrupt family events or the classroom. Often times, you wonder where is their joy? Why are they so angry? Do you feel like you have exhausted your options? Are your goals to restore calm in your home?

Accepting New Saturday Clients - Kids have incredible internal resources for healing and resiliency, but sometimes, those resources are blocked. Through play and creative expression, I partner with kids to affirm and connect with themselves. My approach is compassionate. Some require many sessions, and other require a more longterm relationship - I'm here to meet your child wherever they are.

Some seasons of life are extremely stressful and challenging. It is easy to get stuck during the difficult times and not know what to do next to move forward in life. Changing yourself, your relationships and your life can feel overwhelming. I believe taking that first step to seek counseling takes a great deal of courage. It has the potential to move you toward a “place” of healing. It can also enable you to feel like you are thriving in life instead of just “getting through each day”. I believe everyone has the capacity to change and grow and move toward a deep sense of peace and wholeness.

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.
