Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we feel stuck or lost and have a sense of wanting to change the way things are. Therapy can help. My aim is to provide you a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are distressing or overwhelming. Therapy is a co-collaborative process in which you gain greater insight into yourself, a better understanding of your own strengths, and learn how to enact positive changes in your present life. I provide individual and couples therapy to adolescents and adults of all backgrounds and experiences.

There are times in everyone's life when they feel trapped, alone, lost, and overwhelmed. Often we cope in ways that leave us feeling empty or on edge. We find ourselves repeating patterns that continue to cause problems in our relationships, our career, and keeps us from moving forward. It's at these times we need someone to sit with us in our loneliness, pain, confusion.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Someone who knows how to ask the right questions and really listen to your answers. I think counseling should be like talking to a really good friend, one who has knowledge of you and the connections which may be at work in your life, and who has permission to confront you and ask you hard questions. I am candid and direct with my clients, pointing out things that need to be looked at, and then helping them process and live out new insights. Integrating faith and values is important to me.

If you are looking for a therapist with whom you can comfortably share your problems and everyday life issues that are interfering with your happiness, I can help address your concerns. I have worked in the mental health field for over 35 years. My undergraduate training at University of Virginia and graduate work at Catholic University focused on training in the psychodynamic approach. Today, I use a combination of that approach, which makes connections to previous experiences, with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you think more positively and feel better in the future.

Life is full of challenging events, decisions, and transitions. Going to therapy does not make a person “less than,” or indicate you are incapable of dealing with challenges/issues on your own. Beginning therapy is a sign of courage and awareness that you believe positive change in your life can be achieved. I work with adult individuals helping them cope with and work through a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, drug/alcohol use, stress reduction, anger, life transitions, coping with uncertainty, increasing self-esteem, as well as developing and maintaining healthy relationships.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, on edge, overwhelmed, out of control, or having panic/anxiety attacks? Is worry keeping you awake at night? Is fear of failure keeping you stuck? Do you feel under-valued or that you are under-achieving compared to your peers? Do you hate feeling like there is more to achieve in life, but anxiety is holding you back? Is fear of being judged, rejected, not fitting in, holding you back and making you withdraw from people? Perhaps anxiety has kept your from finding a partner, left you feeling lonely, and worried about living a life of loneliness.

I am an interactive therapist who uses the therapeutic relationship as the entry point for exploring the thoughts, feelings, and habits that have become difficult for the client. I believe that people are natural learners who have become who they are through what they have learned from experience, and that psychotherapy is a focused and intentional way of continuing to learn about life, self, and relationship in ways that help a person move toward more effective and satisfying ways of living. I am optimistic, as I believe that as long as we are talking there is always hope for improvement.

Stressed, anxious, confused about your life? You're not alone! I have a lot of experience helping people sort through what's going on with them - their relationships, their feelings, their baggage from the past, their wishes for the future, and even their most basic concerns about their identity. The fall is a great time to get help with starting a new project or a new phase of life. It's also a good time to work on untangling the confusions and communication snarls that can prevent people from leading full, rich lives and having satisfying relationships. I am nonjudgmental, easy to talk to, and I've heard it all.

I use exploration of thoughts & feelings, mindfulness, meditation, and creativity to help you feel greater peace, be more aware of the present moment, pay less attention to unhelpful thoughts and live your life more fully. I believe that noticing what's "right" about you and paying attention to your inner wisdom greatly enhance the process of change and I focus on these areas in our time together. Everyone experiences difficulties at times and therapy can be an effective first step in finding freedom from suffering. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment and help you develop a nonjudgemental attitude toward yourself.

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.
