In this increasingly complex world in which we live, taking responsibility for our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others can be challenging. The ability to understand and "own" our choices can reveal the possibilities for making necessary and desired changes in our lives. I can help you understand and recognize those choices. We will take a look at all the factors that have influenced your life experiences to this point. Working together, we can set goals, develop strategies for changing negative thought patterns, and implement new behavioral skills, all within a Christian faith-based context.

Imagine waking up and feeling angry; no idea why, just angry. You slept like crap, tossing and turning, mind wandering to the most obscene things that may or may not have happened. You get out of bed and struggle, hard core struggle, to even make it to the shower. Welcome to anxiety and/or depression. This may not happen every day and maybe not every week, but when it does you'd rather crawl back in bed and hide. You can't though because you have kids, pets, school or work; you know, adult responsibilities. This is where I come in. I can't make the anxiety or depression go away, but I can help you figure out how to manage it.

New clients welcome for both in-person and telehealth sessions. Hard times happen to us all, and when we are carrying the weight of a loss, trying to manage the persistent distress of anxiety, or living through a difficult transition or time of life, it can feel like we are all alone. When the difficult days seem to overshadow the positive aspects of our lives, it can be a relief to know that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. These are the times we need support, today more than ever.

We are all unique, but the truth is, all of us face challenges and difficulties at different points in our lives. Some difficulties are painful and yet other difficulties seem more "chronic" and "just get in the way of us being the best we can be". Whatever the case is for you, my goal is to partner with you, listen to you, and work together to identify the best strategies and concrete tools for you, to get you where you want to be.

Have you ever felt like life is flying out of control? Perhaps you are watching a loved one go through a rough time and just need to talk and process what is going on for you. Emotional situations such as loss, grief, life transitions, medical illness, emotional illness, job loss and stress can be overwhelming. Talking and working with another person can help. Choosing to begin therapy shows incredible inner strength and a desire to invest in YOU. Therapy can help you return to a stable, comfortable life, while protecting you in a safe, warm, compassionate and non- judgmental environment.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
