Have you found yourself dealing with difficult life circumstances that are beginning to feel too overwhelming for you to handle alone? We can sometimes find ourselves feeling unbalanced or overwhelmed due to these changes. Maybe you have a number of things going on in your life at one time or a traumatic event causing you to feel increased stress, anxiety, or irritability. Perhaps you've lost a loved one, lost a job, experienced a separation or another similar loss and could use guidance navigating this unfamiliar territory.

I help people work through anxiety and traumatic events they have experienced in life. Some have been in the battlefield of war, many have been in the battlefield of their own home. The very place where safety and nurturing were expected became the source of fear and confusion. Some can't really remember trauma, they have just always known this sense of dread and excessive worry. My mission is to create an accepting and supportive environment that helps you recognize patterns in your life that maintain your distress and find new thoughts and actions that will bring you the freedom to become the best version of yourself.

If you are distressed, you may not find it very helpful or even possible to discuss it with family and friends. However, talking to an objective person (that's me!) can often help you resolve issues. In addition, I perform psychological evaluations for people age 7 through adulthood and specialize in pain evaluations. It's hard to crawl out of the black pit of depression. My life experiences and training give me an excellent perspective to help depressed people climb out of that pit. I also understand how pain can change and restrict your life and can provide coping strategies.

Every individual needs to be heard. As individuals, sometimes we feel as if no one hears our voice. We may feel like our voice has been drown out by the busyness of everyday life, other people, or even ourselves. Therapy is a way of investing into yourself and your voice. You will learn to cope better with life’s challenges and gain a stronger sense of who you are.

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.
