At some point in our lives, we all experience feelings such as sadness, anger, grief, loneliness and disappointment. For some, these feelings can last longer than expected and start to interfere with daily life. Shame, guilt and fear of being judged often prevent people from reaching out for help. My hope is to create a safe and non judgmental environment for you to process difficult emotions and explore how to overcome obstacles.

I have devoted my life to mastering the art of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can use a wide variety of psychological treatments and techniques and is designed to help manage the pain, disappointment, sadness, hopelessness, and fear that come from work, relationships, and trying to move forward in our lives. Psychotherapy is also designed to help us to think more clearly about ourselves and people around us. As a result of successful psychotherapy, people go from feeling defined by their lives to creating a wide range of potentials and possibilities in the future.

I am currently only accepting therapists and practitioners seeking IFS consultation. Feeling stuck, such as repeatedly finding yourself in unsatisfying or even toxic relationships, is a common reason people come to therapy. For example, a person who grew up with a raging parent. In order for that child to survive, s/he would have to "turn off" that part of themselves that signals danger or else risk constant emotional overload. Now, as an adult, that person engages in unhealthy relationships because they never turned their danger signal back on. I am currently unable to accept any new Metroplus/Affinity/Beacon clients.

Do you ever say to yourself "how will I get through this?" Whether someone we love is confronting a life-limiting illness, our child is behaving in ways we do not understand, or our own choices confound us, we all grapple with the strong feelings, difficult experiences and the never-ending stress that can characterize tough times. Terminal illness, grief, anxiety, child-rearing challenges, school and work stressors, these and other of life's challenges can overwhelm and strain our coping skills. I see therapy as an opportunity for relief as well as an invitation to thrive in spite of our particular circumstances at any given time.

I work with clients struggling with sexual addiction or sexually compulsive behaviors. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, safe space for clients to talk about the behavior patterns that trouble them, to gain awareness of why these patterns have been so hard to change, and to support them in taking steps toward lives of greater authenticity and fulfillment. I also work with intimate partners who have been impacted by sexually compulsive behavior, both individually and in couples therapy.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

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’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.
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.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
