What would your life be like if you woke up tomorrow and everything was just how you wanted it to be? What would be different? Therapy can help you identify and reach those goals. Whether your focus is individual, with your partner, or with a family member - the process can be beneficial and effective. My job is to help guide you through the choices, decisions, and communication patterns that are stopping you from making those improvements or changes. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience.

Your life is your story. Counseling is your opportunity to tell it. What parts of your story are you proud of and what parts of your story cause pain? I believe that both are important. Together I will work with you to look at the story you tell about yourself to find peace and meaning. This meaning can lead to healing. As a counselor I focus on collaborating with my clients on their journey to healing. I feel that this journey can lead to a beautiful transformation. We will work together to help you transform in the ways you are hoping.

The journey to self-growth and healing can often be a grueling one. For many individuals, the added weight of anxiety, depression, addiction, or other mental health struggles can make this process even more difficult. My goal as a therapist is to create the space for you to pursue this journey without judgement, while building the skills necessary to tackle these obstacles along the way. I strive to provide support and aid you in the midst of exploring core beliefs, understanding internal drives, increasing self-efficacy, and fostering overall self-awareness.

I believe that each person has strengths and resources that therapy can help them to discover and apply to current life challenges as well as building resilience to help them manage future problems. I utilize evidence-based practices to help clients increase their self-awareness and self-compassion, understand their immense value as a human being, and learn how to better care for themselves holistically - mind, body, and spirit. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, problem-solving, communication, and relationship issues.

You are looking online for something to help the sadness and heaviness in your chest go away once and for all. You feel like a tightly wound ball of yarn and everything in your life feels like it is plucking at you and making you unravel. Balancing all of your roles in your life is nothing short of a miracle and the fear of failing at something wakes you up at night. No one may even suspect you are struggling but you cry when you are alone and feel like everything you are doing doesn't even matter anyway. There is a better way to manage life on life's terms.

There are always reasons why people do the things they do. My approach is to help alleviate shame and unnecessary guilt by helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors. I use a trauma-informed approach with all my clients and aim to create an emotionally safe space to explore vulnerable thoughts and feelings.

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.
