It is not easy to find a therapist, and I would like to make that process easier. I am a psychologist who conducts individual, family and group psychotherapy with children, adolescents and adults. My main areas of expertise are trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD and relationship difficulties. I work collaboratively with you to employ a therapy approach that fits your preferences and needs, and draws from evidence-based models (such as CBT and DBT) as well as insight-oriented and mind-body approaches.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I enjoy working with clients who wish to approach their challenges holistically. I guide clients to explore the mind-body-spirit connection, and I empower them to make lifestyle changes and use mind-body tools to reduce stress and build wellbeing. I support clients struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship struggles, and depression. I use body awareness and relaxation techniques to reduce the stress response, psychodynamic techniques to bring insight into past experiences, and CBT to transform thoughts and behaviors. Together, these modalities help clients get unstuck.

Masking around others is tiring. You may "beat" yourself up because of it, causing low self-esteem. Sometimes, it can cause you to have a hard time focusing with the tasks you have to get done. Like many of us, you’re probably someone who has made valiant efforts to change your life, but because of you being wired differently, it can be hard to do so.

My clients tend to be introspective people who are looking to work through past or ongoing life complexities, such as those related to identity, personality, relationships or life stages and changes. Sessions can be explorative or practical, reflective or pragmatic, more conversational or more structured - all depending on the particular client, their unique circumstances, and their own intentions and motivations in seeking a therapist. Exploring the past or probing painful events is undertaken when it is mutually understood to be desirable, and only to the extent that it is helpful; never for its own sake.

To be fully alive means to experience the whole gamut of human emotions, including the uncomfortable ones like anxiety, sadness, anger, and shame. Paradoxically, the more fully we feel our feelings, the less intense and problematic they become over time! My job is to help people develop the skills to better recognize, understand, and tolerate their feelings, and in so doing, expand their capacity for pleasurable and joyful emotions.

As a retired school counselor with extensive background in dealing with substance abuse issues, I am best positioned to assist clients with difficulties related to social, academic or behavioral issues. I am particularly attuned to the ways in which parenting styles impact upon the functioning of children and to the most efficient ways of creating change to promote the likeliness of a person's or family's success and happiness. At times, these are most effectively addressed through an examination and fostering of an individual's goal-setting and motivation and how these may encumber his or her movement on the path to future satisfaction.

You are probably reading this because something doesn't feel right and you hope for change - you may be down or anxious, perhaps you are struggling with work or a relationship. Taking the first step is always the hardest, so I recognize the courage it takes to look for a therapist. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed or ungrounded or maybe have a sense of being stuck or lost. We all go through times when life feels harder than it should. Whatever is going on, talking does help. Therapy gives you the space to slow down and turn your attention inward.

Are you feeling like no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something holding you back from your most joyful, peaceful and authentic life? I believe that your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved, but actually contains within it the exact wisdom you need to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I’m interested in helping you access that wisdom - in gently getting to the root of what has been missing for you on the level of mind, body, and spirit. I firmly believe that we’re all wired to heal, and that it is entirely possible to resolve the core wounds and patterns that are holding you back.

Why is it so hard to find a therapist? Why are all these profiles essentially the same? Every therapist here is licensed to practice therapy. Most of them truly do want you to live your best life. Once you filter for presenting problem, location (although telehealth has complicated that), and any important demographic, choosing a therapist is a shot in the dark. Choose one at random and hope they work out. And by work out, I mean they aren’t a completely terrible fit, because the thought of starting over is exhausting. I know. I get it. I’ve been there. I wish I was about to give you an easy solution. I’m not. There isn’t one.

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.
