Between relationships, career, life changes, or various responsibilities, it can leave you feeling fatigued, anxious, stressed or sad. You may feel you should be able to handle things yourself, or that you may not be able to find the support and tools you need to feel better. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, supported and help you gain insight into patterns in your life that help or hold you back - and find actionable approaches so you can grow. All with the thread of best practices using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and mindfulness based therapy.

Those experiences should not have a hold over you or your life, and together we will find ways to help make it easier one day at a time.

Life can be hard sometimes. Situations, circumstances and relationships can seem to be overwhelming or even impossible to handle. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, to be a support through the difficult times, to help us sort things out, and to learn more healthy positive ways of overcoming these situations.

Parents of kids under 10: Are you struggling to show up for your kids the way you want because you’re feeling overwhelmed or weighed down with worry, sadness, or maybe even feeling nothing at all? And no matter how badly you want to “do better,” you find yourself snapping, yelling, making threats, and cringing as your own parents’ words come out of your mouth, leaving you wondering if you’re broken and unfixable and failing at the job that matters most to you. Or has your child's medical or psychological diagnosis left you feeling scared and confused and alone?

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.
