Do you feel ready for more growth? Maybe you’re dealing with painful unresolved feelings, or navigating a significant life transition. Perhaps you've been in therapy before, but now want to go deeper. If you're like many of my clients, you function well on the outside but still feel unhappy or unfulfilled inside. Even if you can’t put your finger on it, you sense it’s time to make some changes. You have multifaceted emotions you want to work through, and you want a trusted, experienced professional who can help you move through the impasse you’re experiencing so you can fulfill your life potential.

We often feel that we are simply surviving, as opposed to living our full lives to our greatest potential. Clients come to me when a major shift or catastrophe has taken place in their lives. Whether this is the loss of a loved one, or any loss in general, I will provide a safe harbor where we can go to the depths of the soul and fully contemplate the meaning. The goal is to ultimately arrive at a place of acceptance. In learning how to live through these changes and then build anew is my specialty. I help guide you in an existential framework, in which we seek to find your soul's purpose.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe, affirming, and empowering space. This means that I will treat you with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy.

We live life in relationship with others, often focusing on their needs. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves, resulting in feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and self-critical. I invite you to take a "time-out" from the chaos of life and focus on YOU. Let's address the challenges you may be facing at home, work, or school, and within your romantic, friend, and family relationships. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health issues.

Are you overwhelmed with school, work, and life decisions? Does it feel like you don’t have the focus or confidence to follow through with your goals? Are you struggling to build relationships and feel anxious or withdrawn in social situations? Parents, do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels to motivate and prepare your child for adulthood and its falling on deaf ears? Are you unsure how to approach conversations you know are crucial during adolescence? Do you long for a relationship where you can be a guide instead of a nag?

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.
