I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience in treating people of all ages, from very young children to elderly adults. I have particular experience in treating people considered to be on the autistic spectrum, including Asperger's syndrome, and men and women dissatisfied with the gender to which their bodies were seemingly assigned. I also treat people of all ages with a wide range of conditions, including intense anxiety, depression, developmental disorders and all kinds of difficulties in coping with their work and lives.

I am a clinical psychologist with an extensive research background. Therefore, my therapeutic approach includes evidence-based techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and DBT. My hope is that mental health treatment becomes part of your routine, the same way we make plans to exercise or see a primary care specialist. Warmth and compassion I believe are keys to establishing a therapeutic sense of safety and trust. Then we can explore deeper issues such as shame, fear, sadness, and self-doubt. Together, we will make goals that lead to the changes you want in life.

In my practice I work with clients of all backgrounds and age groups; and I have a specialty in adolescence and young adulthood. I enjoy supporting clients as they navigate growing up and becoming adults in this complex world. My approach is grounded in Psychodynamic Theory and the belief that many of our problems are rooted in thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses that we developed early in life. My work is eclectic and collaborative. I draw on many modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Treatment, Family Systems Theory and Motivational Interviewing.

Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

Hello. Looking for a therapist can be stressful but ultimately rewarding. I enjoy helping relieve whatever might be blocking your access to joy and sense of purpose in life. With 25+ years of experience, I provide an empathic, non-judgmental setting in which to explore and shift areas of stuckness due to depression, anxiety, loss, addiction, relational or career difficulties, parenting struggles, sexuality/gender issues, existential aloneness, cultural displacement, family/traumatic history, or blocks in creativity, I believe finding resilience for life's twists and turns is key. I get actively involved, combining a flexible, open-minded and integrative approach.

Effective therapy requires all of the obvious things: an open mind, hard work, and a gradually developing relationship with a trusted therapist. But with these ingredients in place, therapy can be a transformative experience like no other: one that yields a rich capacity for self-understanding, acceptance, and the ability to connect more intimately with the people that you love.

Let’s talk about what we do here and how we make healing happen. First and foremost, this is a collaboration between you and me. Why are you here and who are you? For many people, finding the answers to those two questions are already comforting enough that they might complete their therapy journey right there and then. But for others, knowing is not enough. You still need the tools to work through a depressive episode, or anxiety, or to deal with some relationship issues. That’s what we will do together – understanding the cause of your suffering, accepting its existence and finding ways to make it more bearable.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 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.
