I believe that a decision to change means you're halfway there. I understand that deciding to seek treatment can be a difficult choice to make. It is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and one who challenges you in a way to facilitate and inspire change. I hope that we can work as a collaborative team to explore which aspects of your life may be holding you back from realizing a more emotionally healthy and satisfying life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in the power that our thoughts and behaviors have on our bodies and minds. I am continually intrigued and amazed by the influence of one’s mind on the healing power of the body as well as the human capacity for resilience. As a licensed practicing psychologist for over twenty years, I have found it a privilege to be a part of the transformations I witnesses in the lives of my clients.

I specialize in helping individuals cope with the difficult emotions and lifestyle changes that often go along with coping with health problems, chronic illnesses and in particular, heart disease. When facing a new diagnosis, a negative health event
(such as stroke or heart attack) or adjusting to a major surgery, it is common for people to experience emotional distress and disruptions to their sleep, appetite and quality of life. Often these are normal reactions that get better after a short while, but at times these stresses can persist and make recovery and health management more difficult than need be.

Intimate relationships can be our greatest source of joy or pain. Unfortunately, many find their relationships slipping toward the second option. It is very unpleasant to feel lonely when in a relationship. And walking around on eggshells is exhausting and can make you miserable. It is possible to restore the connection you want with your partner and go forward in life feeling like a team. That is my purpose and the focus of my practice. Our society tells us relationships are supposed to be easy if they are right. Healthy relationships are some work but are also worth it.

My ideal client is someone who is open to explore their feelings, beliefs, behavior, and relationships and undertake the journey of change. This will not always be easy; change is difficult and we often times get stuck in unhealthy patterns of behaviors and beliefs. Change can be uncomfortable - sometimes even frightening - even when your in pain. My ideal client is willing to do battle with their ambivalence and their fears and participate in the struggle to learn new ways to cope and deal with what hurts them.

I understand that finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming process. Choosing a complete stranger to share in your journey of health and wellbeing is not something you do every day. Making the process comfortable from the beginning is one of my top priorities. You can expect a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment as a necessary foundation for change. I believe in tailoring the experience for each individual/couple, drawing upon multiple approaches for lasting results. For a more in-depth description of my approach please feel free to visit my website.

Are anxiety, OCD, or depression symptoms limiting your life? Do you or a loved one have daily struggles with unwanted thoughts & worries, social anxiety, perfectionism or panic attacks? Over time, anxious thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms build & everyday stress can be debilitating. Symptoms are difficult to control, making going to school, performing at work and keeping up with relationships & responsibilities feel impossible. Seeking mental health treatment can be overwhelming and it's normal to feel worried or unsure. It takes tremendous strength to acknowledge that anxiety, fear & emotions are a barrier to enjoying life.

“Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.” Marcus Aurelius. I've been fortunate enough to witness the ability that psychotherapy has to reflect a clear and uplifting view of your true self. Our emotions are deep, complex, and often misunderstood. By safely building meaningful context around your emotions, thoughts, and experiences, you understand yourself more clearly. This understanding leads to a freedom to pursue a life and future that makes you truly happy.

Therapy is a place for self-exploration and examination. Therapy can provide help for those seeking guidance to overcome struggles such as relational issues, feelings of depression or anxiety, or other issues. As a therapist, I work collaboratively with clients to identify what I call weights that are holding one down from moving forward in a healthy way. This often involves increasing self-understanding and learning skills to overcome negative emotional states. Initially, we will take the time to identify what you want to achieve from therapy. You may come across scary things like flaws and vulnerabilities that cause suffering.

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.
