Life is a journey with many opportunities for personal growth. How each experience affects us is as individual as we are human beings. When significant problems arise, recognizing your need for help is the first step. Finding a professional to trust is the second. Therapy is an opportunity to explore new ideas and learn new ways to navigate life's path with confidence and self-awareness. I welcome the opportunity to travel that path with you for a short time, and help you discover new directions toward greater peace and happiness.

People are human beings - not labels - who are capable of reaching the infinite potential within themselves. People are also deeper than their diagnoses and that I think that we all possess within us the power to change. I enjoy helping guide people to their own conclusions and helping them discover who they truly are, apart from their outward behaviors.

Individualized guidance, can lead to the discovery of one’s own strengths and a gradual movement towards solutions that can be developed, in partnership, to restore that balance that we all strive to maintain when challenges leave us without answers, defeated and feeling powerless.

Hi! My name is Tiffany. I'm here to help you tackle that anxiety you have about work and productivity. You know, those feelings that we hide about our imposter syndrome, our shame of not being enough, irritations and guilt about our families, and of course, the endless frustrations around relationship woes. Why do we end up around people that lead us feeling hurt or unacknowledged? Why do I keep stressing out and lose motivation right when I need it the most? If you've ever found yourself asking these questions then read on. On the surface, “nothings wrong” but you're ready to start improving and investing in your wellness.

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.
