Please note, I am NOT currently accepting new clients. - First, I would like to acknowledge what it has taken for you to come this far. Searching for a therapist can be challenging, and it often brings up feelings of uncertainty, fear, vulnerability, or anxiety. I hope that you will soon be able to experience some relief and comfort in finding a therapist that meets your needs.

During the therapeutic process, I challenge clients with the statement that I am "Daring You to Be YOU!" This challenge of personal acceptance is designed to help individuals to evaluate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to determine what is hindering them from achieving their goals. As clients go through the therapeutic process, they learn to develop the intimacy (in-to-me-I-see) needed to develop the strength to face life's challenges. The ideal client wants therapeutic support in acknowledging personal triggers, defining happiness, developing healthy relationships, and identifying areas for personal development.

Current openings. Do you feel stuck in your relationships, career, or dysfunctional patterns? This isn't where you thought you'd be at age 25, 30, or 40. The anxiety and constant second-guessing yourself is exhausting. You feel like you are always "the helper" in relationships, but deep down, you feel unseen and resentful that your needs don't feel acknowledged by others. Even your spirituality has felt stale lately, leaving you drained. You need help navigating through the anxiety and negativity. Imagine having a deep sense of peace and joy with who you are right now and your process of becoming.

Are you struggling with stress and anxiety? Do you stress eat in secret and feel shame? Has sex become problematic? My clients are often outwardly successful and well-liked by friends and family, yet inwardly trying to manage stress and anxiety that negatively affects their sleep, relationships, and self-confidence. They want a way out from under this heavy burden and seek the experience of inner calm and joy. They desire to respond to life on life's terms in healthy ways -- ways they know are possible yet difficult in their present circumstances.

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.
