The counseling process can and should involve exploring goals and needs. It is ok to have an idea of how counseling can help, and it's okay to let me help you explore that topic. Not everyone knows what they want or why. And, sometimes, what we want and need changes. The ideal client is willing to show up and do some exploring.

I believe I have been successful for almost 30 years in the field of mental health counseling because I approach each client I meet with curiosity. I respect each that client has an individual experience, their own life challenges and strengths. And each client has individual goals and vision for their life. Our life experiences, challenges and strengths shape each one of us and I believe it's important to approach each person at the most basic level of being curious about who they are. Only by listening to you and your experiences can I know how best partner with you to guide you in your life journey.

I believe providing clinical services is a privilege, and partner with you to strategize achieving your goals and empower you towards living out your authentic life. Mental Health care is the exercise of mental wellness just as we exercise our body. A safe trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation of care, and I promise to never ask you to do something I wouldn't ask of myself. Some therapists are 'gay friendly', at my practice we are "family".

Living with anxiety is overwhelming! You're probably noticing how it affects everything from work, school, relationships, and even sleep! Many that struggle need relief but don't know how to find it. Maybe it has taken over and you can't remember what it is like to feel at peace with yourself. Maybe that sounds impossible. It might be hard to make sense of what is happening and why you feel the way you do. You are feeling that way for a reason! When we don’t make sense to ourselves things can feel hopeless. You don’t have to live with feeling overwhelmed forever. We can make sense of your anxiety together.

Hello. Reaching out for help and finding the right counselor can be daunting. My role as a therapist is to really listen to you and meet your needs, while guiding treatment using effective, evidence based practices. I am trained in many strategies, including ACT, ERP, DBT, CBT, and ART. And if you don't know what any of that means, no worries! I like to keep sessions practical and easy to understand. In the beginning, we will set up a treatment plan that defines what a better life would look like. Along the way, we will check back in on those goals to see how we are progressing, adding in celebration for positive change.

I am very passionate about working with teens, adults, couples, and families. I identify as gay and strive to work with the LGBTQ+ community. Through my educational training and application of theoretical counseling practices, I strive to help clients navigate their way through anxiety, depression, past/present trauma, and other struggles. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, but sometimes needs assistance in navigating life’s curveballs. I am fully affirming and strive to assist the LGBTQ+ Community in finding love and acceptance from others, but more importantly, for themselves.

Questioning your belief system or processing negative experiences that occurred in religious or tight-knit social contexts can be lonely and frightening. Those who speak up about their questions, thoughts and feelings, or traumatic events within the community often feel shame and isolation. Too often, they are left wondering, “Is something wrong with me?” This sense of isolation usually means people suffer quietly, feeling as though there is nowhere to turn.

When we are experiencing conflict in our lives and families, we can feel cut off - from the social interaction that binds us all together, as well as from our own selves. We feel lost. We forget who we are. I assist people in finding their internal strengths and celebrate with them, the difference they will make in their own lives. I am a licensed counselor who has been practicing for 20 years. My specialities include anxiety, depression and developing healthy relationships.

It can feel scary, exciting, intimidating, and hopeful to finally decide to see a counselor. Sometimes it takes us years to finally reach out and make the call. It is such an honor that my clients allow me into their lives. I find that my life is enriched through knowing and experiencing my clients' lives along side them. I work hard to make my office a safe, open, affirming space. Experience has taught me that past experiences truly inform present functioning. Healing and growth is possible, as I witness it daily. I look forward to collaborating with you and I offer you the option of utilizing EMDR to enhance outcomes.

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.
