Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.

I'm skilled in helping clients overcome depression, anxiety, grief, loss, relationship/parenting conflict, life transitions, & more.

Whatever circumstances have led you to seek help, I commend you for taking this step. Seeking help can be hard. No one wants to be misunderstood or judged. The truth is that everyone struggles with difficulties in life at one point or another. Though you've probably tried everything you can think of already to figure things out on your own, the changes you want haven't materialized.

Whether we know it or not, we are all on a hero’s journey. Learning who you are and how to live in alignment with your true self is one of life's greatest and most daunting adventures. Has your journey hit a detour or perhaps a fork-in-the-road? Often life’s most challenging passages offer us opportunities to feel more alive, present and connected. When feelings of sadness, uncertainty or fear become overwhelming, it might be a sign that you’ve lost track of your inner heroine – your true self. Coming back into relationship with yourself opens your life to new possibilities and hope.

This relationship is broken. The disconnection you feel is heartbreaking. Loneliness and isolation creep in as you try to navigate another horrible communication breakdown. Things were said that can’t be erased. Past conflicts stand between you like an impenetrable wall. You’re committed to this person, but this is not the relationship you want. With all the chaos and uncertainty in your life, you need to feel supported by your partner now more than ever. You take a risk and make yourself vulnerable. But your attempt to connect falls flat on its face. After not getting through – yet again – you suggest couples counseling.

We all experience difficult and stressful passages in our lives, but too often we do it alone and the passages are unbearably long. If you are struggling with worry, self-doubt or a general sense of discouragement or emptiness, there is hope. My 21 years as a licensed therapist have taught me that deep within our brains and bodies lie innate, wired-in instincts toward healing and self-righting. Our work together will help you access these instincts so that you can experience your aliveness and freedom to be yourself.

Transitions, whether positive or challenging can get overwhelming sometimes. We all go through different phases of life that may cause grief and stress. If you are feeling worried, on edge, experiencing sadness, or encountering roadblocks in relationships, you do not have to go through it on your own. Therapy is a supportive, objective resource and a safe space to process these emotions, explore identity, challenge patterns of thinking, and gain tools and stability.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I often work with clients who are interested in their relationship to themselves, working on healing anxiety, depression, codependency, relationships, and life transitions. My approach tends to be depth-oriented and existential, for example, how we connect with our deeper self, how we make meaning of our lives and experiences, and how we create our own stories. Rather than focus on how we can "fix" things, I believe we have to look at how we relate to the parts of ourselves that we feel like we need to "fix". I support my clients in creating more self-acceptance and meaning in their lives.

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.
