Online therapy for
women
who are just trying to keep it all together. You've spent for as long as you can remember trying to balance it all, but it’s exhausting and you don’t think you can do it anymore. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You're tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

Maybe others would look at you and think everything is fine, great even - but inside, you struggle. You might consider yourself an over-achiever or people-pleaser, even if you come off as independent. We'll define the main issues in your life, whether based in the past/present/future and identify strategies to help you feel less stressed in the day to day, while also exploring your experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the story of how you came to be who you are, and write the story you want for your life moving forward.

You want to improve your communication skills, decrease reactivity, and bring intention to your daily life and relationships. You have experienced trauma and want a safe space to unpack it's impact. You are ready to grow, but finding a therapist that can relate to you is a challenge. As a queer, polyamorous, first-generation American
woman
, I know what it is like to feel misunderstood, underrepresented, and unheard in a therapy room. I welcome individuals with intersectional identities and work hard to provide affirming care to LGBTQIA, BIPOC, BDSM/kink, and consensual non-monogamous individuals, relationships, and communities.

You're not a bad mom. You're overwhelmed. My clients are stressed and exhausted by modern motherhood. They're trying really hard to keep their heads above water. They don't feel good enough and question if they're doing it right. They feel depressed, anxious, angry, and disconnected from themselves. Depression and anxiety impact 1 in 7
women

As a queer
woman
who practices polyamory, I can understand how we are often unprepared for the difficulties that arise when living in a mononormative society. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned consensually nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate your polyamorous relationship structure if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privlege.

I also currently offer an OCD online course for

Before you can even grab your coffee the intrusive thoughts and feelings flood in. The urge to do compulsions is on repeat in your mind throughout the day. Other people seem connected to their life, moving through it naturally and freely..... You want that too. I hear you! That's why I work with

I work closely with men and

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

Is online therapy a good option?

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 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.
