We are often told when we have chronic pelvic pain that it is “all in our head”, “there is not much we can do”, “it's just something that women go through”, and the frustrating list of responses go on. As women, our health conditions and experiences are often invalidated, and we are made to feel as if it’s inevitable. On top of that, for those of us who receive and interpret/communicate information differently, it can be more challenging to have our voices heard.

Good grief. I do not envy anyone scrolling through these profiles! Fact is, life is hard and can feel overwhelming. People disappoint us, and truth be known, we disappoint ourselves. It can feel like we are caught up in repeating the same dysfunctional patterns over and over. The good news is, if you’ve noticed this and are sick of it, you might be ready to face your demons more honestly and constructively. I often describe good therapy as being simply a safe place to discover these patterns (while also learning that we have a resistance and a reluctance to be free of them).

I work best with clients ages 18 to 70 who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma or addiction. I enjoy assisting clients who are interested in addressing healthy coping skills, core beliefs, and who are open to examining what they think and how it impacts what they feel and how behaviors can be re-learned. I support diversity and welcome persons of all faiths or those who are atheists or humanists. In addition, I support the LGBT community. I believe that I connect well with most clients and find that those seeking treatment are much healthier and lovable than they believe they are.

I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

My ideal client is someone who has a desire to make positive change. This is someone who is goal-oriented and desires to learn new ways of coping with their problems. This desire can be as simple as recognizing that how they’ve been trying to cope hasn’t been working, and they need to try something new.

My ideal client has been trying to navigate life independently and realizes they need to speak with someone. They have experienced how navigating the world as a minority has caused them to have a different life experience from their peers. They may have found increased anxiety and depression due to their lived experience, and they do not want things they cannot change to affect them anymore negatively.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

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.
