***Accepting New Clients*** This isn’t the life you dreamed of having. You’re feeling overwhelmed trying to find the balance in life with things like being a mom, having a career, or maybe even struggling with your health. You used to have a hope for the future, that you could be the perfect Pinterest mom, and somehow be able to hold it all together. You thought everything was going to be perfect, but your reality, in fact, is not. You keep trying to move forward and make improvements but you’re just spinning your wheels and find yourself at a standstill with no energy left.

Is your medical or mental health impacting your day-to-day life? Do you feel like you or your teen can’t keep up with daily tasks or has had a decline in independence/function? If so, you are not alone. Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on what is meaningful for you. OT emphasizes the "doing" portion of therapy. OT could be addressing anything from basic hygiene skills, creating structure/routines, independent living skills, coping/emotional regulation, cognitive skill building and much more. Your goals are our goals in Occupational Therapy.

Are you feeling quarantined by the very walls you build for protection? Has past hurt left you feeling inadequate, unworthy and wondering why you are crying for no reason? Have you recently been diagnosed with a chronic medical condition and are noticing that you're more worried, sad, increasingly negative and critical? You used to be joyful. Getting out of bed used to be easy. You were optimistic. Life wasn't a chore. However, now you dilute and downplay good news with doses of your versions of reality.

Adults, adolescents, and couples, reach out to me for assistance with psychological trauma and help with depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, emotional crisis, grief, spiritual growth, and relationship issues. I specialize in helping people stuck in their trauma who do not feel like they can move on from the hurt and pain they have experienced in their life. Additionally work with couples on finding better ways of growing their relationships and assisting people who have been exposed to traumatic events or incidents.

Individuals and couples see me with difficulties that accompany anxiety, painful life experiences, loss, depression, transition, trauma, and relationship concerns. Sometimes clients know what's causing difficulty, sometimes they aren't sure what's holding them back. We sort that out. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is often helpful with the process of moving forward from the impact of distressing events that happened recently or long ago. If you would like to see me specifically for EMDR then return to your counselor that is often an option. I have been a counselor for 15 years and am a Certified EMDR 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.
