As a School Psychologist/Counselor, parent, and leader, I have adopted the idea that we need several keys in order to live a fulfilling and functional life. Some of these include love, acceptance, compassion, flexibility, boundaries, conviction, and lifelong learning. It is a pleasure to partner with families to help empower children, and encourage them to discover their unique gifts and abilities, as we address their challenges and uncertainties. The long-term goal is to teach children the necessary skills that will serve them for years to come, whether the issues be emotional, educational, biological, developmental, or social.

Most of us have experienced at least one event in our life that was harmful or traumatic. The event or events we have experienced often leave us with many questions or emotions that feel unresolved. Perhaps you have experienced shifts in your life after a pivotal moment in your life. These shifts may include changes in your relationships, your habits, your thoughts, and your reactions. You may be reading this as you are seeking healing, feeling "normal" again, or just wanting to feel like you can breathe again.

My ideal client would be an individual who has had life changes (big or small) and is willing to put in the time to work on finding new norms for their lives. It may not always be an easy task, but I believe that if we can put in the work, it will all pay off and lead to healthier outcomes. In addition, I like to have clients who are open to working with me and want a better quality of life.

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.
