We do not know what choices we have until we know what options are available. Quote by Samuel Betance. Are you worried, anxious, depressed, stressed out, sick and tired of being sick and tired? If you answered yes; to any of these questions, you are welcome to be heard. Depression can be subtle, it can be frightening. It can leave you speechless and filled with tears. Family and friends often have good intentions. Sometimes sharing what's on your mind and heart needs a non-judgmental ear. Someone who will completely hear you out without over-speaking. Positive words and a confidential atmosphere awaits.

Many of my clients come to me with anxiety disorders or closely related OCD or trauma disorders. They find their worlds shrinking as a result of their suffering and aren't sure how to halt the cycle. Likewise, I also see clients troubled by substance use, psychotic disorders, and everyday relationship issues like lack of connection, and they too are dealing with pain that gets in the way of what's important in their lives. No matter the problem, they often feel trapped or stuck and want to find a way through the barriers keeping them from meaning and purpose in their lives.

I work to maintain a trauma informed and multicultural practice; meaning that I understand and am sensitive to the effects of trauma as well as the impact that culture has on the lives of my clients.

My intention as a therapist is to create a safe and warm environment where people can bring their life challenges and trauma to work through without the fear of being judged or harmed. In sessions, I use a person-centered and strength-based lens in order to build the best possible therapeutic relationship with my clients. I approach individuals as whole beings by paying attention to the emotional, physical, spiritual, and societal components that make us all human. I believe my clients know themselves better than anyone else does and it is a joy to come alongside them with compassion, care, and support.

Counseling provides a safe place for healing to occur. Children, teens and adults benefit from a private spot to sort out conflicting feelings, difficult life circumstances and relationship problems. Learning new ways of facing dilemmas present in everyday life produces energy. During therapy, many of my clients begin to experience an inner calm, increased self confidence and/or a clearer sense of self-concept, which in turn leads to a deeper sense of well being.

Therapy is truly something that everyone can benefit from when matched with a therapist that they can connect with. I strive to create a comfortable, calm and inviting environment in which you can feel safe to talk freely. I read the room, if humor is appropriate I may crack a joke, if this is a serious moment I am also able to sit comfortably with that. In addition to my professional experiences I have training in many therapeutic models which we can utilize together to help you achieve your goals. You're the expert of your life I can offer you alternative perspectives and allow you to make the decisions that will best benefit you.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.

Life can present itself with challenging situations that can overwhelm our capacity to cope. When you have a physical illness what's the first thing you do? Go to the doctor! If you're suffering from a mental health illness, seek relief and find a good mental health professional. Depression, PTSD, anxiety, marriage counseling, ADHD, and addiction are just a few examples of the particular areas I can assist you with in therapy.

Taking the first step to begin therapy often isn't an easy decision for most. Some find it hard to admit that they need additional support, guidance, and resources; some have wrestled with the idea of seeking therapy for quite some time and are ready to dive in; and others are hesitant, not knowing if therapy is right for them. Wherever you may be in the process of deciding to start therapy, I commend you for being here and taking the first steps towards finding the hope and healing you deserve.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
