My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use.

I have over 30 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and the
elderly
incorporating a combination of CBT and mindful techniques in order to help navigate through all aspects of life. My role as therapist is to help facilitate in the journey, perhaps beginning with a neuropsychological evaluation to help determine cognitive function, implement an individually based treatment plan to gain better understanding of and influence navigating the bumps in the road, and gain a better understanding of life's issues.

Many times these symptoms are a result of difficult relationships both personal and professional, life changes resulting from job and career issues, marriage, divorce, birth, death, adult child estrangement and caring for the
elderly
.
For over 25 years I have helped individuals and couples resolve their problems resulting in leading more satisfying lives. As a certified psychotherapist/psychoanalyst , with a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology my treatment approach is psychodynamic. My ideal patient is one who desires a change in their own lives as well as how they relate to others. Often as a result of therapy I have seen individuals internalize their treatment by remembering what was said. Many leave with a sense of mastery and accomplishment in coping with adversity. As a member of psychotherapy and psychoanalytical institutes I train others in the field.

I also specialize in helping adult children grapple with a parent who has
dementia
and provide relationship therapy/mediation for adult siblings.
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I find that lasting change comes through self understanding. I help people in a safe, nonjudgemental environment to develop a greater sense of control over themselves and their lives. Current neuroscience shows us that overcoming emotional problems usually involves a process of understanding underlying issues. I am experienced in helping individuals, couples and families in times of crisis.

I evaluate individuals with neurological conditions (stroke,
dementia
, brain injury, hydrocephalus), complex medical comorbidities (infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain), neurodevelopmental disorders (learning disorders, ADHD), and psychiatric disorders.
Many conditions can affect our cognition, interfering with skills such as learning, memory, attention, problem solving, planning, or processing information. Neuropsychology is focused on understanding how brain health impacts cognition and behavior and using that information to make or clarify a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and/or monitor cognitive abilities over time.

Covid-19 has brought the world of mental health fragility to a new level never seen before. The isolation and loneliness felt by everyone from children to the
elderly
has caused a rise in depression, anxiety and fear regarding every day life and the future. These strains are unhealthy emotionally and physically and need attention to avoid lasting impressions. The working relationship in therapy is to define underlying issues, stuck thought patterns and transform negative behavior to evolve into a positive and thriving attitude and consequently, life choices. We will join together to create the life you desire, as I help guide you.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.

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.
