***Not Accepting New Individual Therapy Clients at this time*** You’ve been thinking about counseling, but nothing has felt right yet. Maybe that's the problem - so much feels wrong right now. From the outside, everything looks fine, but inside you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure. You remember feeling more confident in yourself, your work, or your relationship, but now you feel off balance. You've been hoping this feeling would just go away on its own, but it hasn't. You're ready to change something, but you want to be sure whomever you work with has a plan to help you.

In the world of therapy, here's a recurring scenario: I encounter parents who are steadfast in their pursuit of top-notch care for their kids. However, when I inquire if they have support for themselves, you could hear a pin drop, followed by a hushed, yet resolute, 'no.' Picture it – parents, the unsung superheroes, shouldering their own burdens of depression, grief, and trauma, unaware that just around the corner lies a path toward relief and a lighter load on their journey of parenthood.

I help married couples in distress re-discover their passion for one another, bring peace to their home and reach a new level of relating and enjoying life together. Martin Luther King Jr is attributed as saying "Faith is taking the first step when you can't see the whole staircase." Sometimes taking that first step, like calling or emailing a therapist you've never met, is a bit daunting. But what might happen if you give it a try?

Accepting New Clients! Our minds and bodies do anything they can to help us survive, but these survival techniques can begin to impact our connection with ourselves, our relationships, and so much more. These survival techniques can be an array of things, such as being disconnected with our body to avoid feeling, people pleasing to avoid conflict, or maybe even being a chronic workaholic. My intention as a therapist is to explore past experiences, provide education on the brain and nervous system, and to integrate long-term healing through the mind, body, and spirit so you can live a life that brings you passion and purpose.

People struggle in a wide spectrum of problems, in a range of settings that require a clinical approach and direction. Through a therapeutic approach, I help clients feel understood and safe because this is an important aspect of the healing process. Helping clients understand beliefs, emotions and behaviors is an important aspect for progress . While cognitive behavioral therapy is at the core of my approach, I believe that cognitive restructuring is essential in client progress. An eclectic approach is necessary because each client is unique and presents with unique strengths, needs and goals.

Finding a counselor with whom you connect is the first, and quite possibly, the most important step in the counseling process. It is my belief, offering a comfortable and safe environment conducive of open and honest self-exploration, is what helps lead to lasting and meaningful life changes. My hope is the environment we create while working together will enable you to continue on your path with new insight and a positive direction.

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.
