There is wisdom in seeking biblical guidance in order to sort through and resolve life's challenges. At times, we place our trust in others to meet our needs or in our own ability to control our circumstances, only to find them insufficient. Yet meaningful change is a work of God through Christ as we submit our lives to him. God has provided believers a Helper, the Holy Spirit, who empowers, comforts, and guides us through each step of the way. Ultimately, God is interested in changing our hearts, for out of the heart flows all the issues of life.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

Do the people around you rely on you because you’re an “over-achiever” or the one who always has it all together? You're putting on a smile while you say “yes” to one more thing, but inwardly you're panicking about how overwhelmed you feel. Or maybe you feel like you’re never perfect enough, no matter how hard you’re trying. Do you wear your constant busyness like a badge of honor because “everyone is just busy, right?” and to ask to slow down might seem like you're just lazy? I bet you look calm and collected on the outside, but do your racing thoughts keep you constantly on edge? If you're nodding your head right now, I get it.

I adhere to the belief that there is a close relationship of mind, body, and spirit, and that optimal health care involves consideration of all three. I am a state-licensed therapist LCSW-S/LCDC in my professional discipline. In addition to maintaining these clinical standards, I will also help clients build upon their faith resources when appropriate. Clinical services are available to people of all faith traditions and to those who do not claim a religious identity. I provide services to many in the community who would otherwise not be able to afford counseling.

My desire is to guide clients to hope and healing amidst the stress and pain that life can bring. I understand that seeking help and creating change can be uncomfortable but counseling can be a safe place to express hurts and find solutions and ways to cope. My belief is that we are relational beings and that the people we interact with greatly impact our thoughts and behaviors. I am passionate about helping my clients to find peace from the events that have hurt them and enhance the daily living and current relationships.

Everyone can benefit from improving personal insight regarding our own behaviors and the emotions behind these behaviors. Connecting the dots between thought, emotion and choice provide the foundation for change. Between two individuals connecting emotionally creates the bridge for a corrective process. Almost every situation and most individuals will gain traction when connection is made. I can be in your corner, your advocate and provide understanding when it seems lonely or hopeless.

Do you feel like something is missing? Have you been “pulling it all together” or trying to “keep it together”, but you feel like “you’re going crazy”? You have a mixture of feelings like sadness, confusion, guilt, anxiety, anger, and regret that change from moment to moment or from day to day. You may have depression, anxiety or trauma, but no one told it could all actually be linked to unresolved grief. Whether you are aware you are grieving or not, it’s ok to reach out and get help from a professional. Grief is an extremely personalized experience that comes with very unique personal thoughts and feelings inside of you.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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, 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.
