Distress can look very different person-to-person. You may feel anxious in social situations, unsafe because of past trauma, at a loss with your intimate partner, or increasingly concerned about your relationship with alcohol and other substances. Perhaps you're feeling misunderstood or marginalized by others, or facing structural barriers that lead to feelings of helplessness and low self-worth. If any of these circumstances speak to you, it's important to have an affirming space where you can share your experience without judgement, to feel safe and at ease, and to discover new ways of overcoming adversities in your life.

My primary intent is to provide ethical treatment with an eye toward cultivating a warm, curious, and supportive therapeutic space. Together in individual, couples, and family therapies, we will seek clarity surrounding your identity and decisions, and explore avenues for psychological and relational change.

If addiction has taken over your life, now is the time to do something about it. Life is too short to be unhappy. I offer a warm, confidential environment to help you find the clarity you need to break the cycle of addiction so you and those around you may lead happier lives. I also offer help for co-occurring issues: mood regulation, anxiety, anger management, trauma, and high functioning autism. I am trained in EMDR, Mindfulness Practices and Stress Reduction. In addition, I frequently work in consultation with other therapists' clients, providing EMDR and substance abuse assessments and treatment.

If you have a child who worries a lot -- when no matter what you say, no matter how much loving reassurance you try to provide, you can't get through -- it can feel deeply painful and can leave you feeling a little powerless. Kids who worry a lot often don't know how to manage their outsized emotions. As a parent, it can make you feel like you're walking on eggshells, trying to avoid any of your child's triggers. You bend over backward to try and shift your child’s mood or their perspective, but your child continues to struggle. You’re starting to wonder if it's time to get another set of eyes on the situation.

You're feeling awful, convinced something must be wrong with you. Anxious, stressed, angry with yourself, angry with your family, numb...you need help. I bet you've tried plenty of other things already. Pored over books that promise results, scrolled through IG feeds full of therapy advice, the gym, a nutritionist, attending services...but you're here, still looking. Not because those things are bad ideas, and not because you're not working hard enough, but because the magic just wasn't there. As both a therapist and a client, I wholeheartedly believe that there is magic in this work.

I'm a sex therapist and a relationship therapist, specializing in men and couples issues. I help men work through destructive sexual behaviors, sexual anxieties, and sex drive and compatibility issues. I also help men navigate job or financial stress, transitions like new employment and retirement, current partner concerns, and unresolved issues from their own parenting as kids. I help couples navigate the challenges of open and polyamorous relationships, partner conflicts, and divorce and separation. Regardless of the specific concern, my goal is to help my clients make healthy adjustments to change and growth at any age.

Do you ever feel like you “should” have everything sorted and things “should” be moving along as planned, but for some reason they are not? You have moments where you feel okay, even some days you feel good, but then even more moments where you feel overwhelmed, anxious and unsure about the future. Do you feel stuck, like you’re not in control of your own story? Are you ready to be more present, to find and cultivate greater levels of joy, peace and balance in a world that seems to be full of uncertainty. Together, I believe we can reach past our old habits and expand our ways of being and experiencing life with courage and grace.

Waitlist for new clients
Clients come to me for relief of symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to learn to process how trauma or complex trauma may be impacting their lives today and how to move forward from it. They also seek to gain insight into why they do what they do, to improve their agency or control over their own lives, to learn how to recognize and deal with feelings, to build their self-esteem and to find more pleasure and serenity in their lives. As we work towards the goals clients become ready and willing to make the real behavioral changes that will make a positive difference in their lives.

I have been married to my best friend for 40 years and have been blessed with two children (a son and daughter) and two wonderful grandchildren. Since 1989 I have worked throughout the tristate area as a counselor. After many years of working as a life coach and spiritual counselor, I attained a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked extensively in the criminal justice system with adults and troubled youth. I specialize in individual/couples therapy as well as addiction, PTSD, anxiety related illnesses and depression. I have learned that every client makes sense if their backstory is understood.

I have been working with children and adolescents in school settings for over 20 years, first as a Special Education Teacher and then as a School Counselor. Through this work, I helped my adolescents and young adults develop executive functioning skills, organizational skills, and goal setting to help them transition into their future endeavors. Now, as a Student Assistance Counselor, I work with adolescents in a high school supporting their mental health needs and substance abuse issues. As a LPC, my goal is to help my clients explore the root of their distress, identify needs and wants and work toward a more balanced life.

As a psychologist I work collaboratively with my clients to address their concerns (both in-person and via teleheath). I have extensive experience working from an interpersonal perspective with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, trauma, loss and adjustment to life changes (e.g. illness, divorce). I believe it is important to explore how a client's family background, culture and social environment play a role in the challenges my clients are experiencing. I view people as resilient and help clients to use their strengths and resources to make positive changes in their lives.

I view therapy as an active and collaborative process that allows for flexibility and fluidity based on your individual needs over time. I take time to get to know you as an individual and how your lived experiences, including the influence of oppressive systems, transgenerational narratives, culture, community, family, and societal norms have had an impact on your holistic well-being. I stray away from Eurocentric practices that view people as a collection of symptoms that need to be 'fixed'. I view each client as a whole person with strengths they can utilize to build emotional foundations and achieve wellness.

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.
