The buddhist philosophy "turn poison into medicine" has always resonated with me. I love to witness a client's transformation, as they are able to heal past suffering and utilize their strengths to become who they were always meant to be. I wholeheartedly believe when someone is suffering, they are disconnected from their core selves. There is something that is preventing them from feeling the safety or freedom to be authentic. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients discover what the barrier to that connection is. The disconnect from self can show up as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

I believe that people want a life full of joy, challenge and deep connection with their loved ones and larger community. Unfortunately, many of us desire those qualities of life-but have trouble accessing them in the moment. I am here to encourage you to explore your joy, challenge areas where you struggle to connect and create a path to a life that is full of resonance and enthusiasm. If your goal is to address issues related to society and culture or have someone who deeply understands alternative lifestyles, those are my favorite types of clients. You can rely on my approach to be practical, candid and relatable.

My approach is holistic, intuitive yet gently direct. I provide a safe, non- judgmental environment where my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. My goal is to help my clients align with their authentic selves. I assist with bringing the cause of blockages that limit satisfying ways of living to surface. I am eclectic in my practices and utilize therapeutic techniques as they fit my clients needs. By incorporating holistic methods and mindfulness techniques in working with my clients I consider clients mental, spiritual and emotional health in the work we do together as I always work with my client as a “whole” being.

As a practitioner of Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. I assist clients in a process of deep self-discovery using ETT, psychotherapy, and movement. ETT can help clients to heal more effectively from long-standing and painful patterns than traditional talk therapies alone. I treat a wide variety of conditions that prevent people from living an optimum life. My ideal client is committed to change, may have been in prior therapy that has not yet shifted fundamental maladaptive patterns, and open to new ways of thinking and feeling about themselves.

THERAPY FOR COMEDIANS. Being a comedian isn't easy. While your friends are getting married, having children and buying mansions back home, you’re schlepping yourself to open mic nights and chasing your dream, well at least before the pandemic. You’re emotionally vulnerable on stage and might worry about going viral for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately, it’s hard to share these experiences with others. Only comics get it but they’re too busy doing shtick rather than listening to you. And if you’re a female comic, it can be worse because you’re mostly surrounded by male comics and battling societal stereotypes.

I am a licensed psychologist who has trained in both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic approaches. I consider myself to be an integrative therapist, pulling from different methodologies and theories to tailor treatment to each individual. I enjoy working interpersonally and collaboratively, taking into account such factors as individual history, subjective experiences, and family/cultural dynamics. I often work with folks who identify feeling stuck, lost, alone, misunderstood, angry, frustrated, and sad.

Life can be such a challenge. We humans are so resilient, but also fragile, and life can hurl things at us we could have never imagined. We often feel we're doing our best, it often doesn't seem good enough. Support is crucial. It's immensely useful to have a therapist who ACTIVELY helps you face life on life's terms. My clients are growth-oriented people who take a proactive role toward change. We look at their situation, feelings, behaviors and opportunities for growth w/compassion, hope and motivation. My style is warm and direct. I believe in using humor whenever possible - therapy doesn't have to be a drag.

Sometimes the stress of life can feel like more than we're prepared for. A loss of a loved one, financial pressures, or a change in a relationship, can seriously impact one's quality of life. Sometimes a little support is all that's needed to move through these difficult periods, at other times a more in-depth approach is required. Whether you're wanting a little support or a deeper transformation psychotherapy can help you deepen your connection and insight into your inner world. With more clarity and a stronger sense of self your capacity to be effective and grow will improve.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
