Everything we do is an attempt to meet our needs. Life is full of unexpected challenges, and sometimes these challenges overwhelm us. We may find that our old ways of handling challenges are no longer working, and we need some help finding new strategies or new supports. I am here to help you express your needs in a healthier way and develop new skills. I have worked with both youth and adults experiencing a variety of challenges, helping them understand what lies beneath the here and now.

I like diversity. Telehealth counseling has made it possible to connect with a much wider range of people and issues which has been quite enjoyable. I've been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 18 years and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to find the ones that are the best fit. Therapy ranges from short term solution focused to in-depth counseling for trauma. I provide prospective patients with a detailed disclosure statement to review before therapy begins and encourage the discussion of any questions or concerns that you might have.

Are you concerned about your current relationship with substances but unable to manage on your own? Achieving long-term sobriety is not easy or quick, but our programs are designed to provide the support and tools needed to develop and maintain a sober lifestyle. I provide counseling for adults who are affected by substance use disorders. I utilize evidence-based practices with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Shame Resilience Theory (courage, connection and compassion vs. fear, blame, disconnection). At Breakthrough Recovery Group, I practice Brené Brown principles with clients under a certified Daring Way facilitator.

I believe sometimes all we need is for someone to listen to us without judging to help find answers. In my office, the client is completely involved in determining the course of therapy. You can expect an initial session to be of gathering personal history, health history, and family of origin history. We will work together to see if we can begin to identify the problem and what you might want to do about the problem. We try to establish how we will know when this has been accomplished, how often to meet, as well as any arrangements for payment.

Good therapy recognizes that we are greater than the problem believing people grow, heal, and transform. Change occurs when we experience grace through awareness of self, challenging old beliefs, learning new skills, and letting go of pain. My task and privilege is to assist you in the process. So to that end I will work with you in a collaborative way in a human to human connection to provide the foundation for change. I take a holistic approach viewing the body, mind, and spirit as interrelated.

Sometimes, life can be stressful, and we don't always know how to handle it. Many of us have also encountered past hardships or traumatic events that feel impossible to move on from. If that is something you relate with, I can help. Using a client-centered approach, I provide a place where you can share about your struggles and learn coping skills in order to overcome the stress you might be facing. If you are having relationship problems, dealing with anger, feeling anxious, depressed, or having a difficult time managing past trauma, I want to provide a non-judgmental and safe space where you can process through your experience.

“Chaotic, painful, empty—full, delightful, purposeful; these are just a few of the words that many have used to describe this thing called life. If you feel like the former words describe your life more than the latter words, therapy can be a chance to bridge the gap between the two. I use a compassionate, person-centered focus to help you gain the tools, skills, and knowledge you need to bring more fullness, delight, and purpose into your life while also learning how to navigate the chaos and the pain. I can collaborate with you to navigate difficult relationships, cope with past trauma, and learn how to regulate your emotions.

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.
