Life can be challenging. At times we may struggle to understand these challenges and how to make them better. It may be that a relationship has changed or the feeling of helplessness when we have a child that is suffering. Behavioral changes of loved ones – or ourselves – caused by anxiety, depression or negative self-worth can feel overwhelming. If you are struggling to deal with life's challenges, we can work together. You have the power to make a new choice today. Reaching out is the first step.

I believe the key to a successful therapeutic experience is the collaboration between the therapist and the individual. I work to develop an empathetic and authentic connection with my clients. I am flexible in understanding the goals and needs of individuals whether it is issues around relationships, or their personal journey in recovery from addiction. My approach is non judgmental and open. Helping woman to heal from past issues of trauma and abuse and issues around families of origin are of special interest to me. Client evaluations for the court regarding substance abuse or mental health are also part of my clinical work.

Through my experience as a therapist in the mental health and substance abuse field, I have come to believe that change occurs through gaining insight into our own thinking processes. When we begin to learn more about our thinking processes, which generally arise from past experiences, we begin to change the way we feel. The therapeutic journey begins by identifying reoccurring themes or what I term "addictions." The process continues by coaching clients to master their triggers and develop counter actions. It is through this process that clients are empowered to handle their life problems with more ease.

September openings! My practice is dedicated to helping mature women whose lives have been interrupted by trauma. Big Trauma or little trauma, the symptoms are very real. Difficulty sleeping? Difficulty concentrating? Difficulty remembering things? Do you feel like you are on "high alert" all the time? Do you have difficulty regulating your emotions in real time? The truth about trauma is that it lives in our bodies long after we have experienced the event. Talk therapy alone is not enough. Let's work together to reset your nervous system. Learn techniques that will help you manage your symptoms so you can feel better soon!

I have been working for many years in a variety of clinical settings and feel very fortunate to have a commitment to a life's work that is so fulfilling. I believe the therapeutic relationship to be central to the experience of good therapy and thus strive to cultivate compassion and non-judgement in my work. From that vantage point one is more able to create space for one's thoughts, physical feelings, and emotions that might be suppressed or avoided or, alternatively, seen as defining us.

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.
