Sometimes we get stuck and can't move forward because of the way we feel about ourselves. We may beat ourselves up for mistakes we made in the past and when we think about the future we are filled with fear and doomsday scenarios. Therapy can help you identify your distorted thinking patterns and free you from feeling trapped. Sometimes we get stuck in comparing ourselves to others and this leaves us feeling like we are "less than." or somehow "fatally flawed." Therapy can help you develop self-compassion leaving you more peaceful inside and accepting of yourself leading to increased moments of joy.

The prerequisite to true freedom is to decide that you do not want to suffer anymore. You must decide that you want to enjoy your life and that there is no reason for stress, inner pain, or fear. Every day we bear a burden that we should not be bearing. We fear that we are not good enough or that we will fail. We experience insecurity, anxiety, and self-consciousness. All of these things burden us tremendously and deplete our energy.

My focus is on assessing the entire person holistically. I want to acknowledge you for taking this brave and difficult step. Getting to this place has not been easy, but I assure you, you will get through this. Most importantly, you should not feel ashamed for seeking help. We are all imperfect, flawed in our own way. Only we control our journey to realizing our own best self. We need to listen and hear our higher self, clearing the noise and emotional interference that keeps us from achieving mental and spiritual peace. As a therapist, my purpose is to mirror, mentor and persist in helping you transform your soul.

Even as we are collectively surviving a global pandemic, most people have struggled with feeling a sense of disconnectedness to others and with self. Uncertainty can also leave us feeling anxious while grief and loss can stimulate a range of difficult emotions at any given time. While many of us are struggling with navigating the "new normal," you may also see this as a period of vital transformation. In either case, you are deserving of the same compassion that you freely share with others. Whether you are seeking to achieve more balance or wish to feel a deeper feeling of connectedness, choose to be compassionate.

"Social Work is the art of listening and the science of hope." Some days it feels like stability is a long shot, like walls are closing in around us or like hope is fleeting. Life post-pandemic is even more hectic, disconnected and draining. But it's times like these we see the resilience in people, the strength we give to one another, and the care we have for this life. My goal is to provide you with more of that resilience, more stability, and more skills to show your true strength. It doesn't always feel like those things are there, but they are. All you need is a stepping stool to greatness. And I'm here to help!

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, 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.
