If you are experiencing high anxiety, or just not feeling like yourself or maybe you can't even label the uncomfortable feelings, you're not alone. You know you want to get rid of those feelings but talking to friends, aimlessly scrolling social media, ignoring it or maybe even using substances haven't been quite effective.

Hi there! I can’t wait to hear from you :) Have you been feeling anxious, stressed, worried, or depressed about your life and what’s happening around you? Feeling stuck or that you don’t have control, unsure, or that you are just going through the motions at times. Think to yourself..

Remember you are stronger than you know, don’t be so hard on yourself! Reaching out is a true sign of strength and courage.

I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

I am passionate about helping women, & adolescents who are going through the hardships life can bring us. Living in today's society brings challenges that can feel suffocating on top of daily life tasks and hardships. Avoiding painful areas of our lives can lead to addictions to cover up those feelings, however dulling the pain with harmful addictive behaviors can further add hurt to ourselves and the ones around us. We each have strengths and assets, instead of avoiding the challenging areas, I encourage clients to engage in personal growth and exploration, to dig in and discover the areas they can evolve and grow.

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.
