I understand the vulnerability of bringing the intimacies of your inner and outer world to another human being. And finding the “right” therapist is often a source of additional angst. The good news is that I have trained extensively to provide the safe and healing “holding space,” for you to come as you are, without fear of judgment. I will meet you with skill, understanding, and strategies to address current, past and/or future challenges. My typical client is high-functioning, but struggling in some aspect of life with issues like anxiety, low mood, unresolved trauma, or relationships. Congratulations on taking the first step!

Therapy is ultimately meant to be a life altering process, from how you understand your personal challenges and problematic situations to how you choose your coping strategies and the options you see as possible for your life. It is my goal to guide and support you through this therapeutic experience to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self. Therapy starts where you are at, and it progresses one step at a time. I approach my clients with commitment, integrity and a vision of positive growth.

Are you repeating negative patterns in many different areas in your life? The healing process is multi-layered. I can teach you how to bring yourself into alignment with your “ true self”. We will work on coping skills so you can find your center, and as you feel emotionally safe within yourself, we can explore the source(s) of negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Healing is intentional. Do you listen to your intuition? Do you hear it? We all have it, but too often our chronic thinking brain is so loud it drowns out the intuitive voice within. I can help teach you emotional wellness. I am also a Reiki practitioner.

I have been told that when a client meets with me, either in-person or on-line (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime), that they feel safe. This safety allows a person to communicate with me their feelings, thoughts and goals. My primary objective is to help a client understand these by focusing on their strengths and continually guiding them towards their goal. Through this process, clients are able to see what obstacles have been in their way that has prevented them achieving their goal/s.

Therapy like life is a journey. It helps us clarify the narrative of our lives. When we understand the past, we can improve the present and change the future. It helps us learn the tools to change our thoughts and behaviors, and cope with feelings. It gives us the skills to interact more successfully with others and feel more comfortable with ourselves. A therapist can guide us along this journey, pointing out landmarks that give us clues about why we repeatedly create outcomes we want to change. A therapist helps us map a new course toward the destinations we desire.

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.
