I enjoy working with individuals who have a gap between the life they envision for themselves and the life they are living. This can range from challenges in relationships, family, career and/or personal life. I have found that when a person develops greater awareness of his or her thoughts, actions and emotions, he or she can begin to make changes to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. The insight developed through psychoanalytic therapy can enable you to experience greater calmness and satisfaction in your day to day life.
Too many of us do not take the time to stop and take care of ourselves...to make ourselves a priority.

As with many other things in life, I am a firm believer that there is a “no one size fits all approach" in counseling. What this looks like in therapy is working collaboratively with you, using an integrative approach that is tailored to best fit your needs. I use theoretical approaches that fit with both your personality and presenting issues in counseling; primarily utilizing solution-focused and client-centered approaches, specifically focusing on strengths. It is always my hope to create a safe and comfortable space where growth can flourish.

It's common to feel a lack of focus, become stressed, feel down and not as happy as we once were. We can experience a loss due to death, loss of a marriage or friend and need to go through the grief process. In our current world, often, this can cause anxiety, depression, pain issues or even lead to family difficulties. If you've tried a variety of approaches, yet they have not worked, please try a different approach. If seeking counseling I will help you with suggestions on how to get back to HAPPY again!

I believe that therapy can only work when there is truly a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client. Clients need to know that each session will be conducted within a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where they can express themselves freely and openly. This is the kind of therapeutic environment that I constantly strive to create and maintain with all my clients. Due to my broad experience in counseling and psychotherapy, I am able to tailor treatment plans that are designed specifically for each individual client, allowing them to make changes in their lives and achieve their goals to become happier individuals.

I offer an integrative treatment approach distinguished by combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with explorations of the existential self, and meditative practices. You may find me using a CBT approach- engaging you to challenge destructive belief systems that work against your goals and cause anxiety and depression; or we may need to go slow in the sessions and hear the "story" to piece together the journey- the decisions made, the traumas experienced and the hurt and loss. All are validated, and all experiences are reviewed as learning opportunities and guide posts for the future.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in Naples?
Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.
How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.
What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
