I am a firm believer that people are capable of growth and healing. I encourage individuals to find the strength and courage to look inward; a first step toward growth. Many of my clients initially come to therapy because they are going through major life transitions such as graduating from school, changing careers, or having a new baby. For over a decade, I have worked with individuals struggling in a wide range of other areas such as anxiety, depression, women's issues, relationship issues, spirituality, parenting, grief, and managing everyday stress.

Are you experiencing poor appetite, lack of energy, lost of interest, sadness or self-doubt? These are some of the symptoms that come from depression which sometimes we or our loved ones misunderstand. Do you feel overwhelmed by your negative thoughts, fear, worry, over thinking, low self-esteem, or waking up in sweats? Then you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety which can paralyze you and keep you away from things you want to do. All of these symptoms are overwhelming and cause you to feel ashamed and embarrassed to share with anyone because it can make you feel powerless.

People seek therapy when their Plan A breaks down. We each have a Plan A: it's everything we learn as kids about life and how to cope with it. We learn it mainly from our families and mainly unconsciously, and it works well enough for a while. But eventually we move out into a larger emotional world and that's when Plan A starts to fail. Anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship problems are symptoms of this failure. Sure, we want relief from these symptoms. But what we really need is a healthier Plan B. My job is to help you create one.

I have been working remotely since the pandemic. I have not observed a significant difference in the efficacy of treatment delivered in this format and the advantages are many. I am most effective in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, an inability to prosper, find happiness or enjoy satisfying relationships with others. I work well with men and women of all ages and adolescents. For those who wish to be understood and understand themselves I am a good choice. It is the very act of making oneself known to others that is therapeutic. In so doing we become known to ourselves as well.

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.
