Saturday Morning Sessions Available - My ideal client understands that their current concerns are not because they are broken or defective. They understand that they can make change in life and are simply stuck in the process. They are willing to look at the somatic elements of who they are, become more mindful of their internal sensations and return to the present moment. I also love working with people that are kinda open to therapy, but have some reluctance as well. Maybe prior experiences have been less than ideal and they're ready to give up on therapy completely.

I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and online therapy. My ideal clients are kiddos, ages 3-18 as well as male adults. In my 5+ years working with kids I've helped them overcome anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, bullying and increased their self-esteem. We start by increasing your child's ability to label their emotions, once they have a grasp on that, we move towards promoting their self-awareness of when their negative emotions come up. We then give them skills to replace those negative emotions with positive emotions as well as teach you, their parents, how you can support them in the process.

Hey, it’s great to meet you, and thanks for checking out this profile. I’ve been working at this since about 2010 and I’ve found that one of the best ways to help people is to just be a person with them. I intend to make sessions relaxed so that you can feel comfortable talking about what’s going on. But don’t get me wrong, I will challenge you and help analyze what’s happening so we can take steps towards growth.

I welcome any individual, couple, and/or family who are willing to do some solution focused work to bring some freedom, hope, and joy. I use a variety of tools (forms of therapy) and see the best results when there is motivation to change. My wheel house is related to marital, parental, anxiety and depressive challenges, trauma(s), and/or personal crisis needing an intervention. I enjoy coaching and facilitating the process for a client to live fully in the present, free of any self-limiting beliefs or behavior patterns that no longer serve you well. I like to consider myself a hope dispenser.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy services to the Lodi community. I work with children, adolescents and adults offering a range of services including individual, family and couples therapy. My primary goal when meeting a new client is to create an environment where they feel respected, understood, and heard. I believe that feeling comfortable is a necessary pre-requisite for exploring and addressing sensitive issues - and attending therapy for the first time or with a new therapist can often feel awkward and vulnerable.

It is helpful for all of us to develop the skills that enable us to step back from emotion-laden life events (both good and bad) in order to gain perspective and insight. This allows us to interact optimally with those in our lives who can significantly impact our well-being. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes self-exploration and the development of insight into our own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. Identifying the potential "whys" behind our actions and reactions can be empowering in the context of personal change and development.

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.
