Finding a therapist can be intimidating. Utilizing a strengths based approach, I am passionate about helping others identify their unique abilities and utilize them to work toward their personal goals. I believe that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Life is hard and can be unbearable without adequate support. You don't have to go another day carrying your struggles alone. When you face your pain and share it with another, you begin to take its power away and start the process of healing. My purpose as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to do so and to support you in your journey.

In practice for over 25 years, I take a client centered and eclectic approach with a deep appreciation for individuality and diversity. I have been trained extensively in dynamic psychotherapy. Part science and part art, the practice of dynamic psychotherapy is more than a technique. It addresses the complexity and uniqueness of each person's life story, hopes and dreams. Would you like to stop putting up with problems that you have been trying to change, or trying to force yourself to accept what is unacceptable to you?

I believe that at the heart of every adult lies an inner child with needs. Sometimes we seek out those needs through unhealthy coping and destructive habits, causing us to feel isolated, dissatisfied, or unfulfilled. Using a holistic approach, we will address any needs of the mind, body, and soul to manifest harmony and balance. I serve as a guide in helping to achieve balance through talk-therapy, meditation and/or therapeutic yoga. My goal is to teach my clients to be their own therapists.

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.
