Parenting is an extremely challenging life stage. Whether you are trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or parenting, it is likely that you are experiencing some form of stress or anxiety. This is not only true of birthing mothers, but also non-birthing parents, fathers, and adopted parents. I am the owner of The Mindful Mommy, a practice offering group and individual therapy throughout New York, South Carolina, and Florida via a secure telehealth platform.

Looking for brief therapy to work through a specific issue that you've not been able to resolve on your own? EMDR therapy helps people process disturbing memories, thoughts, feelings that can greatly reduce therapy sessions to even just a few sessions in many cases. EMDR can reduce addiction cravings and the intensity of chronic pain and discomfort. It is used to help people lower their anxiety, process trauma and improve confidence. If short-term treatment that focuses on resolving negative thoughts and feelings is what you are looking for, contact me to schedule an appointment.

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and respected especially during difficult times. Although family and friends can provide love and support, sometimes we need someone who can be totally objective. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can express needs and leave feeling heard and empowered to make positive changes in your life. Each person enters therapy with a unique set of issues and needs. Together we will develop a treatment plan that is right for you. My goal is to help you heal, grow and discover strengths you didn’t even know you had.

I assist my clients in understanding the interplay of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that contribute to the distress in their lives.

Do you struggle with feeling that you're "too much" and "not enough" all at the same time. To the outside world, you look "fine," but inside, you feel downright exhausted, and pretending everything is okay is getting old. Your stress level is through the roof. You bury your feelings and prioritize putting others first, meaning you hardly ever find time for yourself. What's self-care?! Eventually, the stress and exhaustion catch up! You're tired of pretending and ready for change. The good news is, there is help. Whatever curveball life has thrown you, relief is possible.

I began my work with the HIV/AIDS population, the homeless population and those who struggled with drug abuse. Spending many years with these precious people, provided me with insight of how the mind and the heart works. It was the perfect foundation to my understanding human pain and resilience, as I had to work with many diagnosis. I am a Christian psychotherapist but I have a deep understanding of the religions of many of our world's cultures, therefore my "doors are open" to people of all faiths. I am happy to use your personal faith to help you find meaning in your challenges.

It can be a difficult step to start therapy as it often comes at a time when you are not feeling supported or confident. The path toward relieving your struggles and meeting your goals may be unclear. I have met many clients that often start unsure of what the first move needs to be or have had unsatisfactory growth in therapy previously. For over 20 years I have worked with clients to build a set of tools that they can use to resolve today’s issues as well as to maintain a lifestyle of good mental health. I am interactive, strength-based and ready to discuss with you if I am a “good fit” for your needs.

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.
