Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming. Admitting you need help is never easy. I strive to create an environment for my clients in which they feel free to come to sessions exactly as they are. Do you feel like you're doing your best but it doesn't seem good enough? When you look around, it appears others have it easy, while you struggle with everyday tasks. If you feel this way, know you are not alone.

The decision to enter therapy is highly personal and requires great courage, trust, and most importantly, hope. It often comes at a time in life when answers are hard to come by and people who really understand you are few and far between. Hurt, sadness, fear and anger might be clouding your view and damaging your most important relationships. Though you may not know it now, there are solutions. When you come in for your consultation we will look at why things have become so difficult and begin to work on making meaningful improvements so that the pain will stop.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 29 years. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults. When working with clients, I seek to help them to identify strategies that can be used on a daily basis to improve their relationships across all environments (home, school, work). I believe that it helps to be able to talk to someone when feeling overwhelmed in order to manage your emotions as well as identify coping skills. It is also helpful to have someone to process with when facing challenges. Everyone needs support from time to time.

You are not broken or defective, and you don't need a personality transplant! I will help you to (1) stop thinking about yourself and your situation in overly fixed, rigid and limiting ways and (2) decrease "problem saturated thinking." You will learn to identify, access and utilize your strengths; as well as improve your life by changing the "viewing" (how you think), the "doing" (how you behave), and how you respond to disturbing thoughts and emotions.

I help individuals who have experienced trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the end result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low-self-esteem and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well happened.

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.
