Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and willing to hold them accountable. I emphasize the therapeutic relationship with clients by getting to know them wholly and deeply, to establish a relationship rooted trust and containment. Many of my clients come to me when they feel lost, overwhelmed, confused, or in the midst of major life changes and challenges. They are seeking guidance and support, and are needing the healing work of therapy to change patterns, feel more empowered, and rediscover happiness in their life.

Sometimes all you need is a session or two. Or maybe you need more. We got you either way. The research indicates that a single, focused therapy session can be highly effective for 70-80% of people. It's not that everyone can solve all of their problems with one session of counseling, but we can focus on you getting the most out of each session. You walk away with action steps and the confidence to see what happens before deciding whether or not you need to schedule another session. I have experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, mental illness, you name it. I am also glad to work with clients longer term.

Are you in your darkest hour because of debilitating thoughts? Are you suffering with the anguish of loss? Are you scared there might be no way out? Do you want nothing more than to be free of that pain? If so, I am in tune with how painful this journey can be. What lifted me up and out of my pain were the helping hands and kind words of another person. Since that moment, I have devoted myself and my gifts to becoming that same helping hand for others. I used the help I received as a guide of the light I want to share wherever it may be needed.

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.
