As a psychotherapist, my job is to help you turn the obstacles that you are now facing into opportunities to learn, change and thrive. How do you want to feel? How do you want to handle challenges? Who do you want surrounding you? What would it take to make you feel as though you were living your best life? I partner with you to answer these questions and work toward releasing all that stands in your way.

Human beings live within relationships. These connections are at the center of our lives, and yet, they can be so complicated. I help clients improve the relationships which matter most, including the relationship with themselves. Through a collaborative approach, clients gain meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while moving towards goals and healing. My approach includes evidence-based practices and strength-based skill building, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, as well as a healthy dose of humor and warmth.

Often people reach out for therapy at a time in their lives when they are in transition and ready to make changes that will better themselves. Patterns of negative thinking and self-sabotaging behaviors can make you feel stuck and often can get in the way of living your best possible life. My goal is to help you understand the root of your anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-image issues and/or trauma and to work through these problems so that you can become 'unstuck' and move forward in a more positive, self-freeing and fulfilling direction.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified in the advanced training of Perinatal Mental Health in Connecticut, New York, Maryland and Virginia. My practice is rooted in my recognition that while the transition into, and experience of, motherhood is often depicted as tender and joyful, it can also be met with feelings of isolation, worry, depletion. My intention is to work alongside women to explore skill-building strategies, to process role and identity adjustments, and to help women move through transitions knowing they are not alone.

The natural evolution of life brings many stressors and transitions our way. We may be faced with relationship problems, choosing a life path, difficulties at work/school, family upsets and more. Feelings of disconnection, confusion, grief, anxiety, depression and others can be difficult to manage. Increasing self knowledge may enable us to confront such challenges with less difficulty. Greater internal understanding often brings about a stronger understanding of why and how we react, moving us toward a more healthy and fulfilled experience.

I became a psychotherapist to help support others through life's challenges. From relationships to family to career, life can be a roller coaster of events. I believe that creating some space in your life, even just one hour a week, can be very beneficial to your health and overall well being. As the saying goes when flying on an airplane, "...make sure to put the oxygen mask on yourself first before attempting to help others around you." This is crucial. If you are not well, how can you help take care of those around you?

If you are thinking of coming to therapy there is probably at least a small part of you that knows things could be better in your life. I specialize in helping you articulate what is getting in the way and moving to where you want to be. The specific challenge may be a relationship that isn't working, a pattern of behavior, a way of treating yourself or other issue. I am easy to talk to and highly interactive.

My clients come in with many different troubles and often, the troubles lead to a great many other problems that they have or have had in their lives. There is no problem too big and there is a way to live better. I believe we are looking for contentment. To feel "okay" and, today's society tries to warp us into believing we are not okay because we need something else than what we have right now. We all have the capacity to choose a better life, better relationships, better care for ourselves. The answer is not outside of us but within. I work with children, teens and adults that think they're not enough. We are all enough.

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.
