Situations change, but the same painful emotions can occur repeatedly, regardless of the content of the situation. Over 30 years experience with individual, couple, child, adolescent and family therapy, grounded in a Bowen Family Systems Theory framework. Research and extensive training in Bowen Family Systems Theory through Syracuse University (Syracuse, N.Y.) and The Bowen Center for the Study of the Family (Washington, D.C.). Experience is important. Being grounded in a specific therapy that a therapist uses in treatment is nonnegotiable.

In my years of clinical experience, I have learned that unhealed childhood trauma appears as new wounds in present situations, regardless of age. Healing these wounds is the most important work that a person can do as unresolved trauma extends to all relationships including familial, marital, professional, societal, etc. I know that healing takes compassion and a strong clinical background that guides thinking and supports the therapeutic process. It involves clear boundaries to develop a trusting relationship which enables the client to tolerate the discomfort necessary to do the work to allow healing that brings about change.

I have been able to work with a variety of populations that varied in mental health challenges ranging from depression, anger management and bipolar disorder to name a few. This has been beneficial because I have always enjoyed helping others grow within their lives and watching them progress over time whether it be overcoming challenges circled around one’s sexuality, school-related issues such as bullying, stress management, and etc. As everyone is different, each individual will overcome their challenges in their own way. Thus, taking the first step to embark on a journey to living an improved life is only the beginning.

Therapy helps us gain insights into ourselves and our relationships. My approach emphasizes the importance of relationships in our lives. A collaborative environment offers a safe and supportive space to explore what holds us back from deepening our relationships. Therapy helps us build healthier relationships, heal from past traumas, and achieve personal growth. It is also an excellent tool for those seeking personal growth and self-awareness. Whether struggling or not, therapy offers a valuable opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

We all experience challenges in life that are difficult to cope with and hard to overcome. Issues can range from difficulty adjusting to recent changes to more deeply routed, long standing trauma. When we decide to make a change we can usually benefit from professional help because an outside perspective can be enlightening and it's hard to change ourselves. We all just want to be comfortable in our own skin.

With over 9 years clinical experience, I am passionate about using evidence-based practices to help empower you every day, not just when you are in crisis. Primarily using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, along with Person-Centered and Humanistic approaches I work diligently to create a welcoming, supporting and safe environment where individuals can feel free to express themselves. Working through difficult times alone can often feel overwhelming and defeating without help.

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.
