Have you felt tormented by the sense of anxiety and dread? Maybe you’ve also had irrational and distressing thoughts that are difficult to manage? Anxiety can feel relentless and overwhelming. Many people have been there! You are not alone in this. I can help you understand your anxiety and develop a plan to help you alleviate your anxiety-related discomfort or suffering. I specialize in treating anxiety (i.e. OCD, phobias, social anxiety), but also work with other emotional concerns, such as depression and loneliness. My hope for all my clients is to reach a place of confidence, self-compassion, and acceptance of yourself.

Don't go it alone! You're making the first step by looking for a therapist. I work with people who are going through life transitions who need help improving their natural coping skills and learning new ones. Many people experience life changes such as the birth of a child, starting college, starting a career, getting married or divorced, parenting, empty nesting, assisting with an aging parent or the death of a loved one. Having worked as a manager in a workplace I can offer support and guidance in workplace conflicts and communication. I provide support as we work together to improve the things that aren't working.

My aim, above all else, is to be empathetic and client-focused. It’s hard to help without first having an understanding, and regardless of my credentials, you are the expert on you. I work to understand you and your needs as best as possible so that we can tackle your goals in a meaningful way. Once you’re ready to pull up your sleeves and get to work, I provide space to discuss issues and explore alternate ways of thinking. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I see how much power there is in the words we tell ourselves.

Are you feeling stuck and get overwhelmed when you think about making changes in your life? Or maybe there has been an unexpected life event that feels too big to handle and the coping skills you normally use aren’t working or have become more of a problem than a solution. I help my clients make changes in their lives by helping them work through unhelpful patterns, conducting an examination of where things are for them currently vs. where they would like things to be and to make the adjustments in their lives that helps steer them in a positive direction.

Relationship issues exist both in and outside the bedroom. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame. Throughout the course of our lives, we are influenced by cultural and societal messaging about what is and is not acceptable. When something is wrong in our relationships, the weight of judgement leads us to live in quiet desperation rather than seek help. I am dedicated to cultivating a safe and accepting environment for my clients to discover more about their sexuality, transform it into what they want, and affirm who they are.

My style of therapy is one that is both collaborative and supportive. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to make lasting changes in their lives. I help the individual tap into those abilities by challenging the conscious and unconscious barriers that can impede growth and change. Using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can explore their challenges and unearth their full potential.

Let's face it. Men HATE talking about their feelings. Really hate it. They would rather have a root canal. Women spend their whole lives sharing their thoughts and feelings, but that is not true for men. Just the opposite. I understand what a challenge it is for your husband or boyfriend to open up and express their feelings. I help guys like me talk about their feelings to increase emotional intimacy, decrease conflict and improve their relationships with their girlfriends or wives. My mission is to HELP COUPLES HEAL.

I know that beginning psychotherapy can feel scary. I hope to provide a space that feels warm, non-judgmental and helpful. I tend to work with adults, adolescents and couples who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and many of the other effects and challenges of the world we live in. Overall, I believe that navigating these experiences feels better when we get to work through them with someone else.

If you are considering starting therapy you are likely feeling stuck: either in feelings of depression or anxiety; in repetitive behaviors; in unsatisfying personal relationships; or in career frustrations. You are often making decisions and acting in ways that are counterproductive to what you want. Our work together will make you recognize how your past experiences intrude on the present, preventing personal growth. Once your are aware of how your disruptive behaviors, actions and/or beliefs interfere with your goals you can make new choices that are more fulfilling.

I've been trained in different Evidence-Based Programs such as MAP (Managing and Adapting Practice), 0-5 series, TF-CBT (Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and others. I enjoy empowering patients to reach their goals by building rapport, providing psychoeducation, and providing feedback to make changes. I meet the patient where they are but challenge them when needed. I like to use Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Solution Focus for the patient to accomplish their goals. I have provided therapy for adults up to 85 years old.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
