Racing thoughts and feelings of self doubt are common until it becomes too much. When it becomes overwhelming do we run or address it head on? Sometimes, when we feel stuck or overwhelmed, we need a little guidance from someone who is unbiased and nonjudgmental. Therapy can help those struggling with friendships, relationships, careers and family issues. I am also a big advocate of work life balance. I am passionate about improving access to quality mental health care by tackling issues of equity and justice within the mental health field.

We all have the capacity to make positive changes in our lives, and it is during the time of crisis when the most change can occur. Everyday stressors, relationship conflicts, work and school challenges, loss of a loved one; these events can overwhelm and challenge us in many ways. Adjusting to new experiences is difficult. Depression, anxiety, self doubt and resentment can set in. Therapy helps develop and strenghten our ability to cope, to manage these feelings. It helps us uncover negative patterns and behaviors, but most important it helps bolster our existing strengths and potential for change.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. It may feel unnatural to confide in a stranger, admit vulnerabilities, or ask for help. You may even feel lost and confused, alone to shoulder the burden of your worries or most painful secrets. Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool, where you can become free from the suffering created by these burdens. Therapy is a space where you begin to explore the questions that escape us on the day-to-day: who am I? where do I find meaning? Is this path right for me? These questions may seem daunting, but you won’t face them alone—together we will take the plunge and, hopefully, find clarity and wellness.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

Now accepting clients! My philosophy in therapy is that when you have a good rapport with your therapist, setting and achieving goals as well as healing is made a lot easier. I use a client centered approach where the client takes the lead and I as the therapist am there to both guide and support the client. My goal is for the client to feel empowered through therapy. My clients often learn to trust the decisions that they came to on their own and feel comfortable using me as a resource throughout the process.

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.
