The constant pressures of daily life, particularly during a pandemic, can leave us feeling overwhelmed, scared, and alone. As we try to navigate our way through issues involving school, work, relationships, life transitions, and grief and loss, we may feel so hopeless that we feel as if we cannot go on like this anymore.

Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now. - Lucy Sutcliffe The thought of going to therapy generally leaves people feeling that they are weak or unable to solve problems on their own. When in reality, the majority of people that are seeking therapy are ordinary people that are dealing with ordinary, everyday issues that life throws at us.

Change can be difficult, particularly when you are struggling with the stressors of life. Therapy can seem daunting when you already have so much going on. However, it does not have to be. Psychotherapy can help you clarify thinking, gain insight into past experiences that may be adversely impacting current circumstances, develop a plan, and increase your ability to handle and cope with the challenges of life. I have helped many people make the changes they needed to improve their mood, relationships, and overall functioning.

In life, all of us can use help along the way. There are many reasons to start therapy but ultimately, we all want to feel better and live happier lives! At any point, we can all struggle with stress, anxiety, sadness or have a difficult time managing certain aspects of our lives. We can also feel stuck in patterns or behaviors that make it hard to live the life we want to live and it can feel overwhelming to figure out what to do next. Whether you are searching for yourself or your child, therapy can help.

Life is constantly changing and can become overwhelming. During these seemingly non-stop changes, people may find themselves, lost, and disconnected. It is my passion to help others. I work to provide a hopeful, safe, and non-judgmental environment for a person to work through their identified concerns and most importantly meet the client where they are at in their journey so they may reclaim a happiness in life. I believe that part of what makes therapy work is having a therapeutic relationship with your therapist. I understand that I am not all things to all people and always open to the conversation of the right fit for you.

Experiences of grief and loss occur throughout the life span.The response to these experiences is unique and personal. I believe everyone has a story which is important to tell. As a therapist I work to create a trusting environment in which to tell that story. It is in the understanding of the story one can discover solutions to problems, acceptance of the past and hope for the future.

I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Who's going to change fastest first--you or them? You are one-half of all your relationships. People most complain about what someone else is doing, has done, or might do. They plead, "I wish he'd just change" or "I don't know why she won't stop;" YOU are the only part of every relationship in your life over which you have any real control. The intensity of your desire to make or help someone else change is equal to the intensity of effort you need to apply toward changing yourself.

Have you been having a difficult time lately? Are you feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships? You are not alone. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and life transitions. Some struggle with relationships. My job is to listen, help clients develop healthier coping strategies, and learn how to improve relationships. Sometimes that happens by learning or improving skills and being accountable for our actions. Sometimes we need a bit more.

Our lives are filled with relationships. We have an inherent desire to connect, build, and belong in relationships with other people. At the same time, relationships come with their own unique challenges, sometimes even exposing us to circumstances beyond our control. This may cause us to feel anxious or overwhelmed. Sometimes these challenges are easy to overcome. But what about the times when you may not know what to do? Perhaps it could cause so much distress that you may struggle just to get through the day. Or maybe feel the need to isolate or push people away, so you don’t have to deal with relationships or people at all

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an umbrella term for methods that share a focus on thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms, willingness to try new behaviors, and patterns of relating to our experiences. Between-session practice of these strategies serves to consolidate gains achieved in treatment sessions.

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.
