Perfectionism-having the belief that everything that we do must be perfect, otherwise...we are not good. Perhaps you believe that you must show up perfect in the workplace, perfect in your marriage or relationship, perfect in your parenting, perfect in your friendships. When you strive to be "perfect," it allows you to set unrealistic goals that are not achievable, which leds to you feeling like you're not good enough. This can lead to negative thought patterns that makes you feel uncomfortable emotions, such as anxious and depressed, which can lead to behaviors of isolation from others, no longer enjoying a social life, etc.

What is trauma? Trauma is any experience we face that we have never gone through before. Trauma isn't what happens to us, it's what happens inside of us. We learn how to manage our current situations by our past experiences. If you've been feeling unlike yourself lately, unable to manage things you could before, or constantly struggling with interpersonal relationships, it could be because you haven't developed the skills to navigate through what life is currently throwing at you. We don't chose the childhood we were given, or the challenges we are faced with, but we DO choose how we control the one thing we can: ourselves.

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to view my page. Although I strive to do my best to help anyone who walks through my door, I have found that there are certain people I really seem to "click" with; after all, the therapist-client relationship is one of the most important parts of the therapy process. I have found that I work well with adolescents and young adults aged 16-30. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and trauma. My "ideal" client comes to therapy willing to open up, work hard, and commit themself to behavioral change, pivoting towards what really matters to them deep in their heart.

Are you or someone you care about struggling with negative thought patterns, low self-esteem or the belief of not being “good enough”? As your therapist I believe by offering a Client-Centered and Mindfulness-Based approach that clients, particularly those resistant to therapy, are able to experience endless opportunities to succeed by actively being involved in their own growth process. It's important to me that you have an atmosphere in which you will experience comfort and freedom to communicate your feelings with certainty that you are being understood, heard and that our agenda is always your agenda.

I specialize in adult women's mental health wellness. Helping you move beyond anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem, grief, & life issues to find happy, hope-filled, healthy lives & relationships. Sadness and fear don't have to be daily emotions. It's tiring, lonely, frustrating, terrifying & even heartbreaking to think this is your life. It's not what you hoped it would be - it's not what it should be. You want to be happy and able to cope with life, but it's just too much to handle and things aren't getting better. You feel like things will never change. Sometimes we just need support & understanding from someone helpful.

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.
