Often our feelings of sadness, shut down, or overwhelm are signals that something important needs our attention. If you are often fearful of getting stuck in your emotions or worry you don’t know what to do with your emotions when they arise, then therapy can provide a supportive environment to gain more clarity and insight to your emotional patterns and unmet needs. People pleasing, perfectionism, and procrastination patterns can be healed through exploring the triggers we have in the present and the root of those triggers in our past. In therapy, I prioritize your sense of safety, connection, and autonomy.

Waitlist for new clients
**Waitlist**My clients want to connect to others but are afraid. They've learned in childhood that even those that are supposed to love you don't always treat you well. Yet, their deepest desires are to be seen, heard, and accepted. My clients often carry shame or guilt, and also know deep down they have immense strength and resiliency. They have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but feel stunted, stuck, or frustrated. Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Great news: it doesn't have to be this way! Reach out to me! Together, let’s explore and create a path forward—a healthy way forward—so that you can thrive.

I help young adults (ages 16-24) overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness, and other challenges they may face. I don’t stop there, though. My goal is to help you build the life you want. Once we’ve alleviated the primary symptoms you’re dealing with, we’ll move on to identifying who you want to be and how you want your life to look—and determine how you can get there. And because I offer virtual appointments, you can get the help you need right from the comfort of your own home (or dorm room).

We all deserve to build lives worth living. And while our lives are inherently worth living, mental health struggles may cause that vision to blur in and out of focus depending on what’s going on in our lives. I believe that all the wisdom we need is within us already. To me, it’s about recognizing, becoming attuned to, and building confidence in that wisdom, as well as confidence in ourselves. I am skilled in conducting therapy with LGBTQIA+ clients, individuals with personality disorders (and their loved ones), neurodivergent clients, folks with chronic pain/illness, mood disorders, and people who have experienced trauma.

My approach draws on one's strengths to overcome obstacles to a more authentic and fulfilling life. I believe it is important to take time to fully understand an individual's unique life and concerns. The most common concerns clients come to discuss involve relationship difficulties and/or feelings of distress, worry, or sadness. Many of my clients are feeling intense stress due to changing life circumstances. Through therapy new perspectives and ways of coping and/or solving problems can be found.

I enjoy working with adults 18+ on issues dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, existential concerns, and relationship concerns. As a Black female clinician, I enjoy working with people from the BIPOC community. It has always been a goal of mine to actively help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health in communities of color. Therefore, I believe seeing clients of color is working towards that goal as I am making a difference on an individual level. Making a difference in one life will model what it means to prioritize mental health and can hopefully be shared to the loved ones of these individuals.

Do you feel safe being who you really are? It's our birthright to be seen, be loved and belong but if you have a marginalized identity or belong to more than one culture, it can be challenging to reconcile who you are with others' expectations of who you should be. Maybe you're a helping professional and give so much to others it feels like there’s nothing left for you. We live in a culture where overwork is the norm and self-care can feel like one more item on your To Do list. Or maybe you've tried talk therapy and it didn't help as much as you thought it would. Maybe you thought, There's gotta be another way.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

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.
