Sometimes it’s the feeling that something is missing from your life, the vague emptiness. Other times it seems as if you are constantly treading water, and getting through each day appears to be impossible. People come to me for a myriad of reasons. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, personality disorders, parenting, adolescents, couples, women’s issues, and people who want to improve their lives. Counseling helps you explore new avenues, enabling you to find your strengths and open up possibilities. My hope is to empower you to be captain of your own ship, and discover your many strengths.

My aim is to help you connect with your hopes, desires, and internalized concepts and to work with you to help you create a more full awareness of yourself. I create space and ask questions that may allow you to, first, notice your existing personal narrative and identify how authentic that feels to you before working together to get curious about new, more empowering responses. I collaborate in this exploration with special attention to the strengths that have brought you this far. I can offer help navigating well-being in relationships, understanding past experiences, and the impacts of culture and other forces on your life.

Psychotherapy is an intimate collaboration in self-discovery, problem-solving & relief of suffering. My aim is to meet you where you’re at, beginning from where you are — depressed, anxious, isolated or lost. Together, we’ll winnow these obstacles to uncover fears/outgrown narratives separating you from your goals. I’ll offer feedback and invite yours fully; looking at our relationship deepens a mutual understanding and sheds light on your other relationships. When the fit is right, a safe and meaningful therapeutic connection supports symptom relief, fosters growth, self-esteem, and helps us (re)claim our identities.

I specialize in couples, children, and adults. Good long-term relationships encounter increasing difficulties over time. It becomes harder to make progress on even minor problems. Each person believes their partner could make a few relatively easy adjustments - for example, to modify their tone of voice, to spend less time on their phone, to initiate shared activities - and the fact that they don't seems unfair and even like a deliberate provocation. I help couples understand and begin to untangle the traps in their relationship, using tools that will be useful in the years to come.

Change is an inevitable facet of life. Although some changes may be welcome, others may evoke feelings of fear, sadness, or even despair. Be it the loss or rupture of important relationships, upsets in one's career or academics, or taking on new roles and/or responsibilities; changes like these can be challenging. However, they may also present opportunities for deep self-reflection and personal growth.

Some come to therapy to address feelings of sadness, emptiness, anxiety, or grief. Others come in the midst of or just after a major life transition that has left them feeling lost, alone, or directionless. And still others come simply wanting a better understanding of self. Whether you find yourself in transition or stagnant, overwhelmed or numb, trapped or out of control, I welcome you to my practice.

I am a clinical psychologist who combines my 30 years’ experience in learning disabilities, executive skill assessment, and psychotherapy to help children, teens and parents figure out solutions to school related difficulties. Coping with school frustration often leads to anxiety and so my psychotherapy practice includes treatment of anxiety disorders and parent support. I provide consultations and neuropsychological assessments for parents seeking a new school setting for their child’s specific needs. After working many years with high school students, my practice includes counseling for providing skills for transition to college

I offer a non-judgmental and reflective space to process and explore, with the goal of developing understanding and initiating change. I approach the work with a fundamental belief that a range of experiences, both big and small, can have lasting impacts on our development and worldview. Difficult experiences and painful relationships can affect our connection with our bodies, our identities, and our sense of worth. As we begin to heal our relationship with ourselves, we can expand the ways in which we show up in our lives.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
