In a world full of so many different people we are bound to encounter a vast array of road blocks. Some are easy to verbalize and some are not. Some of the things we experience are small and can be minimized but some cannot. Sometimes we don’t trust enough to share and sometimes we do not know how to communicate what we are feeling, when we are feeling and why we are feeling. Embrace gives us the opportunity to be open to the therapeutic process, embrace it like a warm hug of comfort. To Embrace the process we must first start with the Problem. To Trust the Journey we must envision where we want to be in our lives and go for it.

I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective, meaning that I believe that our thoughts produce our feelings and our feelings produce our behaviors. However, I also use EMDR and Internal Family Systems in combination with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to give my clients a range of avenues to find their healing. I try to make every session practical and productive. I have also written a book, "Forgive and Live", which I use in group therapy and has recently been re-written as a video series.

It’s Sunday afternoon, and you’re sitting on the couch at home. This is supposed to be the time when you can finally relax. But instead, all you can think about is how you’ll survive Monday. Your mind is flooded with unfinished work tasks and uncompleted projects. And every time you start to claw your way ahead of it, something happens to knock you back down. Everyone in your life seems to rely solely on you for their well-being. And you’re so preoccupied with juggling the needs of work, family, and friends that there’s no time to care for yourself. You know that things can’t go on this way, but you don’t know how to make a change.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we can get overwhelmed or lose our way. A therapist can be a strong support to help you achieve some balance, to improve mood, find relief from anxiety or depression, and to create healthier relationships (boy/girlfriend, spouse, family, coworkers, etc). We can also explore what it is you want out of life, and help you work to reach your goals. Sometimes we just need to clear negative thoughts and self-defeating beliefs that no longer serve us.

The hardest part of our journey begins with the first step. Looking at your current circumstances you may understand that change needs to take place, but just lost at where to begin—I’ve been there.  There comes a time in each of our lives where we can reflect. This reflection upon our lives is often never easy.  It is like an arduous journey filled with hills and valleys.  Sometimes this requires letting go of pent up emotions and ingrained behaviors which may have served a purpose for some time but no longer serve us. My passion is to help individuals through this time teaching them the tools needed to navigate their new paths.

Our practice IS accepting NEW clients! Each of us are unique, and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in all of our lives where we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situations to help us find ways to make positive change, and move through these trying times. We use an eclectic and collaborative approach combining both psychotherapy and neurotherapy in the therapeutic process. Our focus is allowing individuals to use their own strengths and weaknesses to develop a pathway for a healthy balanced life.

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.
