**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS WITHOUT A REFERRAL** Sometimes it can feel like you are stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out. It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

What is the one thing in the world that everyone has? A story. Events & experiences that have shaped you into the person you are. A culture and heritage that you cherish. A society that you grew up in. I'd like to listen to your story. I'd like to be a mirror through which not only can you see your present self, but you can reflect on your past life (if you wish), & visualize your future. When you come into counseling, you are coming into a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your joy & your pain, your frustrations & your aspirations. No one knows you better than you, & no one can take your story away from you.

You're an overwhelmed parent at a loss for what to do next. Teachers are calling trying to set up a meeting concerning your child. "Family time", "play", and "fun" are becoming harder and harder to fit into your busy schedule. You feel a strange sense of emotional distance growing between you and your child. You love them so much, want nothing but the best for them and yet sometimes are so stressed you lose control of your emotions and overreact. As much as your try, you can't quite seem to get back the closeness you so desperately crave in your relationship. No one taught you how to be a parent but you're doing your absolute best.

Relationships can be complicated! All of us need help navigating the rough waters of our relationships. Whether in marriage or parenting, with extended family, or friends and loved ones, we find ourselves hurt by the people we care about the most. And sometimes we hurt them back. That isn't who we really want to be, but we don't know another way. We're stuck in a cycle of anger and distancing.
Conflict is inevitable. Thankfully, resolution of conflict is possible. We are created to have meaningful relationships and my aim in therapy is to help you learn how to have them.

It's very common in life to feel stuck, like you're trudging up a never-ending hill through quicksand as you watch others just skate on by. When our world feels out of our control, we may feel overwhelmed and a lot of our fears and insecurities can come out. Am I doing this right? Why won't this work? Am I enough? I work with clients to empower them to explore and find decisions that work for them.

I've provided and supervised counseling services for over 30 years in a variety of settings with all age groups. My experience and training has convinced me of several things i.e., relationships define our sense of self; we look to our relationships for comfort and safety; when we are validated we function better and these important relationships support our continued growth and well-being. I believe successful counseling is a commitment to create a safe place that allows each person to communicate their needs at a deeper, more genuine level, and practice more effective ways of relating to others.

I believe that our most basic human instinct is to feel connected to others and to ourselves, and I will use evidence-based practices to help you improve these connections. I understand that fear, anxiety, grief, and pain can all block our paths towards connection and healing, and I realize how broken relationships can turn into life-long regret and hurt. My goal is to individualize each treatment plan to your personal needs and areas of growth by emphasizing strengths, unlearning negative beliefs, overcoming fears, and inspiring you to create new paths towards healing. I am fully trained in EMDR and ERP to better meet your needs.

If I had to describe the core tenants of how I work it would be: we are all doing our best AND we all have hidden resources that can help us heal and make changes we choose to make. The resources can be blocked by traumatic events that have happened in our lives, hurt and loss, and never learning the skills we need to grow or getting the support we need to do so. I can provide a safe and supportive space to help you access your core sense of self and build the kind of life that feels meaningful.

Warm regards to you! You may be at a place where challenges in life just seem to be too much for you to handle alone. Many people come to counseling and find help to deal more powerfully with the challenges of life. Many situations, emotions and patterns of self-defeating behavior prevent people from living a happy, productive, and satisfying life. Some of these behaviors are in our awareness; while others are not obvious to us. The goal of counseling is to help increase self-awareness, for you to find your best way to function and thrive!

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
