As Maya Angelou once so eloquently wrote: My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style. Life is not only about surviving, it is about thriving. The ups and downs of daily life can sometimes take a toll on the strongest of minds and deepest of hearts. Together we can rebuild the connections needed to thrive in this world one step at a time, one day at a time.

Are you struggling with negative thoughts about yourself, troubling thoughts from your past, or distressing thoughts about the future? I can help.

My experience has shown me that most people who come for therapy are often smarter than they think and braver than they can imagine. My role is as an a skilled and encouraging companion to help them recognize their own strength and wisdom. Clients who stay the course and work through the process, ultimately find their effort personally worthwhile. For a person to invite me to be part of a difficult time in their life is something i consider to be a privilege.

Do you know you need to make a change, but you’re not sure where to begin? Or maybe you’re not sure, what, specifically, you’d really like to be different—you may feel adrift and find it hard to know your own needs and emotions. All change tends to be stressful, difficult to initiate, and even more difficult to sustain. Sometimes taking the space to get a deep breath and sort out what it is that you really want can help you initiate changes that help you enjoy life and connect with others. Taking that time can give you the energy and clarity of mind needed to enact new ways of being that set you on the path that is right for you.

If you are grieving and looking for support or love someone who struggles with addiction, in a world that doesn’t understand, I might be a good fit for you. If you are facing unspeakable, unimaginable pain, fear, shame, guilt or loneliness you are not alone and you are not broken beyond repair. I believe you are experiencing natural responses to incredibly challenging, traumatic, unjust and threatening events. There is no prescribed path in grief that leads to some kind of resolution, as we have been told. The truth is that grief never goes away, you simply learn to build your life around it and we are not meant to do it alone.

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.
