Most people encounter rough times in their lives. I like to help people to get through these times. I like to help people to explore more options. When upset, many people get stuck in their ideas and wishes. I like to help people figure out ways to overcome challenges that interfere with their enjoyment of life and all it has to offer. I am an experienced therapist and have worked with a variety of people in varied clinical settings. I particularly enjoy working as an independent practitioner with all the unique concerns my clients bring.

*ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR GROUP ONLY* I have over 20 years of experience working with adults with a wide range of problems and mental health issues. I use an eclectic but primarily psychodynamic, approach. I believe that the process of looking inward allows you to identify interpersonal and behavioral patterns that you have come by honestly as the result of your early and often continued life experiences. If you’ve come to this page, it’s likely these patterns have had a negative impact over time in your relationships, your sense of self, your ability to act in your own best interest, or has culminated in a current crisis situation.

Finding a therapist you can trust can be challenging. My clients describe me as supportive, empathetic and honest. I speak up more during sessions than many traditional therapists because I’m genuinely curious about how you think and feel. Engaging in a conversation and getting to know your story are the reasons I do this work. Many of us benefit from support as we navigate stressful life transitions, explore relationship dynamics and process old wounds. The only requirement is that you’re curious to learn more about yourself.

I've done therapy myself at a critical point in my life—and I practice it now. So I get what therapy does. It helps us find solutions when we're overwhelmed. When we realize we can't do everything ourselves and need an ally who can stand outside us with an objective view and stand by us with human understanding. By now I've shepherded a village of people through crises and confusions. I've helped them address anxiety and depression, mood swings and trauma, stuck relationships and stalled creativity, substance addiction and behavioral addiction—and difficulties feeling and expressing love.

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.
