I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

Nice to meet you! I see clients who are new to therapy as well as clients who have experience with therapy. Many (but not all) of my clients are adolescents or in college. Most of my clients are interested in long-term treatment as a way to help with day-to-day problems and to dig into any underlying issues that might impacting their moods and feelings. I’ve worked in many clinical settings that inform my approach. Most recently, I worked as a school-based therapist for students in middle and high school. I've also worked with a racially, socially, and economically diverse adult population while at a community outpatient clinic.

You're struggling with parts of your life right now and aren't sure what to do. Perhaps it's your relationships that are struggling; you may be in the middle of a life change or transition; you may be grieving. There may be other factors in your life which are creating problems. Perhaps you're struggling with addictive behavior; your past is affecting your present; a trauma may be clouding your life. You feel like you don't matter, that you aren't worthy of love. Nobody is listening and you can't figure out how to be heard.

If you’re ready to embrace the messy shit and let go of perfection, you’re in the right place. You’re driven, working hard to accomplish the things you're supposed to but at some point you realized you have lost sight of who you are and don't feel the happiness or contentment you thought you would. Perhaps you can’t get a break from your negative thoughts taking up space in your head, leaving little room for you to connect with yourself and others. You're tired from trying to keep up with the expectations that have been placed you, leaving you unfulfilled and anxious. Mostly, you want to find relief and regain control of your life.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help and it’s important to remember that. “Asking for help when you need it doesn’t show weakness, it shows tremendous strength”— it takes self-awareness; it takes courage and the willingness to be vulnerable. A great quote by Fred Rogers says, “When we talk about our feelings they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” The therapeutic relationship I have with clients is something that I cherish and do not take for granted. It is a true privilege to be able to accompany clients on their journeys of self-discovery and self-understanding.

As a youth and family pastor for the last 17 years, I have been so blessed to stand with teens and families through both joyful and difficult times and have seen first hand how difficult it is to be or raise a teenager in today’s world. The desire to help teens, young adults, and parents navigate these tough times, and the earnest belief that hope can be found in even the darkest of times is what led me to counseling. Whether you have a desire for personal insight, a more peaceful home life, or a stronger relationship, I would love to sit with you to see if we can figure out a path forward.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
