Do you feel that your thoughts consume your energy? Have you been feeling like no matter what you try somehow those thoughts or feelings still find a way to steal your power? Your power is important and when that power feels dim it can feel dark. There are many different ways this can show up in your life and I acknowledge that shame, guilt, or humiliation has a way to invite itself in. Feeling good takes practice and you don't have to choose to carry all the heaviness alone. It's my passion to be a guiding light in all of my client's journeys and provide a safe space to process their heaviness.

Starting individual counseling or couples counseling can be intimidating. I know it’s uncomfortable to open yourself up to someone and really take a look at the painful stories you carry around. Finding yourself can be a daunting task. What’s more uncomfortable is carrying around pain and other stressors. I am well versed in combating these powerful narratives and I am not afraid of authenticity. I believe that most stories are laced with grief such as divorce, loss or just simply losing yourself. Having experienced layers of grief in my own life, I am ready and willing to join you as you explore by doing the work in therapy.

I am currently accepting new clients. Are you or you feeling stress and frustration from an unpredictable and disrespectful relationship? Do you have a relationship filled with emotionally draining accusations? Are you confused watching someone swing from being kind to ill-tempered? Do you “sugar-coat” and rationalize their behavior? "Walking on eggshells" keeps us on high alert. Narcissistic type or dysfunctional controlling behaviors often makes us question our sanity. You are not alone! I am direct and honest with my clients. I use my TWENTY PLUS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE to work and help you create a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

I work primarily with adults that are having significant mental health issues with depression; anxiety and anxiety disorders; trauma related disorders including complex PTSD, PTSD from major trauma; and Obsessive Compulsive disorders. Successful treatment may necessitate a more structured approach to healing. Often self reflection is not enough to overcome the emotional and mental changes these disorders bring about. My clients are looking to engage in effective protocol driven experience that is administered with compassion and understanding. Client goals range from decreasing behavioral symptoms to living a fuller, richer life.

Everyone has problems. We cannot control the circumstances or people that show up in our lives, but we can decide how we are going to respond to them. Not knowing how you feel, what you think or what you want contributes to confusion, frustration, anxiety and depression. Establishing your own authentic self, as opposed to what others want you to be, can be a difficult task. Developing assertive communication skills and understanding your own emotional boundaries are essential to managing distressing symptoms and situations. I can help you take charge of your life and create the one you want.

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, 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.
