Helping people lead more productive and healthy lives is the joy of my job as a therapist. I love working with people who are wanting something different than they now have, that may be issues around their relationships, their children, friends, jobs or maybe that they want something different from their lives. The first step is to ask for help. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and given many seminars, both tv and radio programs and feel that what I have learned can help people accomplish life goals with the right support.

Are you struggling with feelings of worthlessness, overwhelming sadness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Have you suffered from deep trauma that has haunted you throughout your life, causing unbelievable pain? Are the things that used to work to help you deal with pain now apparently falling short? Often people reach a point in their lives where the pain from the past can no longer be ignored. You tell yourself everything is fine, but suddenly, it's not.

Finding time to focus on taking care of ourselves can be difficult. With the demands of loved-ones, work, and life in general, we may not always be aware of how well we are actually managing our day-to-day lives. It can take a while to pay attention to the fact that the demands of everyday life are taking a toll on us. Or perhaps there is something from the past or present that you or a loved one is having a hard time moving forward from. Whatever the concern, there may have been a change in areas like behavior, appetite, sleep schedule, and/or work performance, just to name a few.

Therapy begins by building a relationship that provides a safe place to talk and be heard. During this time, together, we can create goals and learn skills that will help now and in the future. I believe that each therapy session should be shaped to meet your exact needs. My goal is to walk beside you, not in front or behind, during this difficult time. Through the use of various therapeutic methods, I work with teens and adults who struggle with family/relationship issues, mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and teens with behavioral/anger issues.

Living with anxiety is exhausting. That constant feeling of having a pit in your stomach, all-or-nothing thinking, overwhelming thoughts of "what if", and self-doubt can be draining. Feeling that you have to "white knuckle" substance cravings can feel unbearable. Sound familiar? If you're wanting clarity and more control over your emotions or substance use, therapy can be a powerful tool in creating the life that you want to live.

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, 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.
