Healing, growth, and change. Are you wondering if these common outcomes of outcomes of therapy are actually possible for you, or if therapy works at all? Can someone really help me overcome this dark depression or intense anxiety? Why do I get caught in repetitive, unwanted pattern of life? What's wrong with me or/and my loved one(s)? Am I the only one feeling like this, struggling with shame and inadequacy? Where do I belong? Questions like these are worthy of asking and it takes courage to seek and find answers. You don't have to do it alone - I want to walk along with you!

I help
adults
who experience anxiety, depression and trauma gain more control of their emotions and thoughts.
You never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you are falling short. You've spent the last months or years trying to keep everything together, but it’s exhausting and you don’t think you can do it anymore. Most days you feel so anxious you can barely breathe or you can’t stop crying. Friends reach out but you would rather pull the covers over your head and numb out to social media, food, alcohol or other things you know are not healthy for you. You can’t motivate yourself to do the things you really want to do. “What’s wrong with me” is a thought that goes everywhere with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and have substantial experience working with people with various emotional issues, including young
adults
and
adults

“ I feel much better after talking to my counselor.” “ I realize that there is a way out after counseling.” “ I have better self-awareness and have learned how to make decisions for myself through counseling.” This is some of the feedback I have received from my clients after counseling sessions. Counseling, also known as psychotherapy, is essentially based on the core idea of that talking with a counselor about the things that are bothering you. It helps you to clarify your concerns and put them into perspective. I have been working in counseling for over 10 years in Hong Kong, St.Louis, MO, and Seattle, WA.

Counseling can help get you back on track with facing those challenges and creating the life you want. I can provide a unique safe space to explore your difficult feelings and experiences. That space has the power to be tremendously healing--and within it, I can help you discover new ways of relating to your thoughts, your feelings and the world around you.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 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.
