My background includes
military
service and the creative arts.
First, thank you for reaching out. If you're in a life transition I may be able to help. My basic philosophy is that we sometimes become stuck on our journey to fully develop our self, our relationships, and our lifestyle. I have over 25 years successful counseling experience and strive to respect the unique stories and struggles of each client while encouraging responsibility and authentic living. This is my role in helping you. I also am certified in telebehavioral health (online counseling) if that works best for you and your schedule. I look forward to helping however I can.

I am a veteran and a
military
spouse which gives me special insight and knowledge into the issues that many
military
families face.
When a difficult situation crops up in life, we often feel like we are alone in our struggles. I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and it is ok to reach out. After months or even years of living with stress, anxiety, PTSD, or a marriage that is no longer serving your needs, it is easy to feel hopeless. I can give you the skills that you need to get through this challenging time. I am here to teach, help, encourage, and empower you to take back your life. There is always hope!

You are most likely overwhelmed by which therapist to choose; your symptoms don’t seem to “match” anyone. However, you do know anxiety and/or depression has you feeling off-balance, or unresolved trauma is causing you to feel sad and isolated. Instead of seeing life in color, everything is “black and white”. Where you once were the life of the party, now sleep sounds so much better. You have a desperate need to “feel” again, because right now you just feel numb. I will provide a compassionate and supportive environment for you that is conducive to healing and self-discovery.

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.
