As a
military
vet I am passionate about minimizing the stigma surrounding mental health, improving access to care & normalize the act of seeking mental health services in response to life stressors.
My idea client is someone who is open and willing to accept help. Someone is willing to shine a spotlight on their issues and have a spotlight shown on issues they were not aware existed. The idea client is open to the good and bad information given and willing to work towards resolve and change with the therapist.

challenges, and clients seeking a Christian, spiritual, or holistic, approach.
Sometimes in life, we struggle with our mental health. We can get off course striving to understand our thoughts and emotions. Trying to figure out how to live life on life’s terms can sometimes lead us into emotional uncertainties, which affect our occupation, finances, families, relationships, social connections, and substance use. At times in our lives, others can’t relate or understand us, so they label us or try to put us in a box which restricts our freedom to be ourselves. Are you in a season of your life when you find it difficult to connect with your family, friends, co-workers, or your social network? Want some help?

SAP Solutions, LLC offers assistance and support to

, first responders in time of personal need or following physical or emotional trauma.
First responders face an increased risk of experiencing behavioral health issues including mental health illnesses and substance use disorders. Fear of being seen as weak or not up to the job of a first responder keeps many from seeking help. Responders can build their resilience by increasing awareness about risk factors and warning signs, talking with each other, and using healthy coping strategies.

I believe much of our pain, healing and growth revolve around relationships; relationships with self, family, friends, and community, as well as a broader connection to a "Greater Whole." My approach is integrative using research-based, solution-focused tools centered on the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behavior; inner flexibility and acceptance; mindful awareness; and values-based action. YOU are the expert navigator in your own life. I strive to assume the role of companion guide and act as a source for fresh perspectives in a safe and supportive environment.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 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.
