[Please note: my practice is currently full.] Do you spend too much of your time feeling sad or worried? Are you lonely, or do you often find yourself struggling in your relationships? Are you concerned that you aren't reaching your potential at school or in your career? Do hurts and disappointments from the past continue to bother you? As a therapist, I work to help people address specific problems as well as the underlying causes of their difficulties. Psychotherapy, in my experience, is a collaborative process that can lead to self-awareness and to lasting freedom from chronic unhappiness.

On the outside you look like you've got it all together. People see you as confident and hard-working and trust you to get the job done. But on the inside you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, worried that any day now, people will see the "real" you and be disappointed. You've spent years working to build a solid reputation, but can't shake the voice in your head convincing yourself to do just one more thing to achieve success, just one more, just one more, just one more. You're tired from the hustle and starting to lose hope that anything could be different. It's time for a change.

I can help you with specific problems in your life, but I also want you to feel more satisfied and engaged overall in your work and relationships, and more comfortable in your own skin. We can work together on what gets in the way of leading the more vital, connected, and productive life you want. I will create a space for us to safely and productively explore together, where any thoughts and feelings are welcomed. Within this space, I will actively listen, provide my ideas and understandings, and help you to develop useful understandings of yourself as well.

I will help you find a way to connect to others that doesn't feel forced or overwhelming. Feeling sad or angry for no reason; worried that you'll always be alone, that you don't have anything interesting to say or that no-one will accept you for what you are; feeling overlooked or misunderstood; fearful that you'll never have the confidence or discipline to turn things around - these issues can be successfully addressed.

Are you stuck in patterns that get you nowhere? Wracked by self doubt, anxiety, or guilt? Therapy offers us a means of addressing whatever keeps you from moving forward and feeling better about yourself. There are good reasons for struggling as you do. It is up to us to make sense of these struggles, particularly if they seem repetitive and nonsensical. Then we'll figure out how to resolve them. I do this in a warm, caring, collaborative, and respectful manner, knowing that this journey takes patience and persistence, but also that it can reap tremendous rewards along the way, enhancing the quality of your life hereafter.

Wanting something different, and struggling, is part of being human. We all find ourselves repeating patterns that are unhealthy or unhelpful. With my background in clinical social work and developmental psychology, I will work with you to understand how these patterns came to be and how you can create new ways of being in the world. Together, we will work to minimize stress and anxiety, find more effective ways of coping and affect the genuine change you desire.

Lengthy waitlist at this time for general inquiries. I do prioritize perinatal clients. I am only able to respond to contacts for reproductive issues- 5/2023. My ideal client has clear, agreed upon goals and is ready to make transformations in their life and their experience; someone who is ready to do the work to find relief from suffering, not just learning to tolerate suffering. I use innovative approaches to find what works for you to make a change. I consider it an honor to walk with people on their life journey if even for only 45 minutes once a week for some time. You are not alone, you will be well.

Everyone experiences stress, yet how one copes is very individual. When life challenges us beyond our limits, we may need professional help. I am a PhD social worker with 30 years of experience in health and mental health. I work with individuals and couples utilizing a strengths-based, psychodynamic counseling approach. Different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and stress reduction methods are provided in a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental space to maximize treatment effectiveness. My work focuses on grief and non-death related losses, as well as mood disorders, i.e. depression and anxiety, and chronic health and mental health conditions.

Therapy can offer a relationship in which individuals access their innate wisdom to heal, grow, and thrive. I cultivate a safe therapeutic space for clients to explore patterns and challenges, and experiment with new ways of regulating and connecting. Together, we can address current concerns, as well as nurture deeper levels of healing. I work with clients who are navigating life transitions, relational difficulties, and the effects of early developmental trauma. I have a special interest in supporting parents and those in the perinatal period (preconception through the postpartum).

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.
