Are you feeling tired, run down, frustrated, or hopeless? You're struggling with the never ending challenges and transitions life throws at you. Your plate is so full, you can't possibly take on another thing, yet, here you are...taking on one more thing. You are constantly taking care of others, but your name never makes it to the top of the list. You're sick and tired of being sick and tired. Maybe you're a young adult that is struggling to see the point in life, or maybe you're a parent that is at the end of your rope. You desperately need something to change...but what?

'Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' Dealing with life's challenges requires a great amount of strength and courage. Whether for you or your child, sometimes the most courageous act of all is asking for someone to help you during the difficult times. My hope is to be this person for you as your therapist. Collaborating together in a non-judgmental environment, I will work to provide you with the support, empathy, and tools needed to take those first steps towards change.

Seeking help takes courage! As a licensed Professional Art Therapist (LCPAT) and a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate change. My approach is strength based, client-centered, and holistically grounded. As an art therapist, clients have the option to engage in art therapy, no experience with art materials is required! Art Therapy makes it possible to express what is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to communicate with words. Using art creates the opportunity to delve into the unconscious and parts of the brain in which words do not exist.

Do you feel stuck? Are you having trouble regaining balance and moving forward? Sometimes feelings of worry and sadness can interfere with our daily lives. Depression can make going to work or school seem like an enormous task. You may have low energy, lack of motivation, overwhelming sadness or feelings of uncontrollable worry. There may be a current situation that triggers memories from a past event. It could be a car accident, bullying, abuse, or losing someone that you cared about. All of these situations can be traumatic and my experience with a research based trauma resolution model can help!

The last couple of years have definitely been challenging and stressful. I have found that most people fall into three categories: survival, acceptance, or growth. My ideal client is someone who wants change; someone who is seeking to grow. They are tired of being in a fixed mindset. These individuals are seeking something different than what the traditional therapies offer, and they are ready to move on to the next level. My role is their guide. As a guide, I work to empower clients to overcome stress and life challenges. This process involves healing, discovery, and learning valuable life lessons along the way.

Now accepting new clients! Often we are successful in one area of our life but feel that another area is not going as well as we would like. Finding balance can leave us feeling overwhelmed. While we are all the experts on our own lives, sometimes we need the perspective of another person in order to see ourselves more clearly. Helping to better understand yourself and the strengths you already possess can lead to positive change which ideally will result in living a more authentic, balanced, and enriching life.

My own personal loss and journey through widowhood, shaped my interest in grief and loss.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
