Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for several things, including: relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety,and stress; healing from past and present hurts and abuses; and personal growth and change. I work with difficulties that originate in one's current life, as well as issues that have their origins in the past but continue to color one's experiences. I work so that the therapy session is a safe place for you to express yourself, including things that are difficult and troubling, as well as a place for greater self understanding and for learning the skills that will lead to change and greater happiness for you.

Why movement? Because some experiences and feelings are beyond words. Dance/movement therapy (DMT) is the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being. When words are difficult to find or inadequate to express oneself, the body can be a safe medium to explore those deep emotions. Dance/Movement Therapy is a licensed masters-level discipline, in which therapist’s study psychology, neurology, anatomy, and kinesiology.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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, 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.
