Therapy isn't just about the big light bulb moments of insight - it is also about the small pieces you find about yourself. With these pieces, you can identify your own needs and learn how to express them better. Maybe you're going through a life transition, need to strengthen coping skills, grieving a loss, or space to express your thoughts and feelings. I am here to non-judgmentally listen and establish a genuine connection with you.

I have a lot of experience working with men that are dealing with job/career issues, relationship problems, and personal mental health issues like ADHD, depression, and anxiety. They value my straightforwardness and ability to relate to the difficulty they are having in their lives. Men aren't encouraged to share their emotions in our society and I pride myself on offering a space where that is possible, encouraged, and accepted.

Seeking out therapeutic services takes a lot of vulnerability. My primary goal as a therapist is to create safe, nonjudgmental spaces for individuals to tell their story and explore their experiences. I have worked with young people and adults with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, stress management, low levels of motivation, school and work challenges, substance use, and trauma. This is all through a culturally and trauma-informed lens.

Therapy moves us toward healing through a relationship that is uniquely safe, trusting, and collaborative. I believe that this is crucial for those of us who have experienced hardship, and struggle to live fully and authentically. Together, we will examine the sources of harm— from your immediate family system to your broader social environment— that have kept you from deeper feeling and connection. When we encounter thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that feel rigid, we will explore these resistances with great care.

Each person I have the honor of working with allows me into their life in a unique way that I value and consistently strive to gain greater humility from. I think that being Seen & Heard without judgement, and feeling truly cared for, is essential for therapy to be healing. That is why I prioritize the establishment of a safe, affirming, and honestly inclusive space for exploring the psyche through the lens in which you view your sense of Self and lived experiences. From here, it is my intention to walk alongside you on a journey of continually discovering what being authentic in this expression of self means to you.

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.
