Painful life experiences have affected your daily life; impacting your sleep, decreasing your self esteem and increasing anxiety. It's hard to know what to do; friends give advice but it doesn't seem to be enough. It's okay to reach out and get another opinion. Continuing to live with high levels of
stress
and anxiety can impact physical health, so taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health. I can help you get on a better path that feels more in line with the person you want to be, whether you are worried about yourself or your child.

stress
management, relationships issues, grief and so much more.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to face their pain, whatever that is and take accountability for what they can change or do differently now. They understand that growth is a daily practice. They seek healing through acknowledging the past, identify their needs through self awareness, and making life/ behavior changes that is conducive to the life they desire. They seek honesty and vulnerability within, in order to become the best version of themselves. They are committed to taking control of their life by being the narrator of their life story.

Life can be challenging, especially if you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and overwhelming
stress
. These issues can manifest as uncontrollable worry, panic attacks, recurring painful thoughts and memories, or overwhelming emotions that interfere with your day-to-day life and relationships. You might feel like you are living life according to anxiety instead of what really matters to you. You might feel like you can't move forward because of what you have been through. Or, you might feel like no matter what you do, you cannot figure out how to fix what is causing your anxiety and suffering in the first place.

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.
