Today’s world is a complex interplay of demands from both internal and external sources. You don’t have to go it alone. I began as a Clinical Therapist 27 years ago helping people move through changes and challenges in their lives. During this time, I have also been a biology teacher at the secondary level. It is this combination of experiences, as a science educator, with a background in mental health, that has given me a unique perspective. It is this perspective that allows me to help people navigate through life’s journeys.

I believe we all need a judgment-free safe space where we can mindfully explore what's going on with us. We find ourselves in a life of change, yet often find ourselves repeating old habits, old patterns of thinking and recreating familiar situations. Sometimes life transitions catch us off-guard, and we don't know how to adapt. My goal is to create that safe space for you; to provide a respectful, supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship to unlock greater self-awarenesss, positive change, and a happier more balanced life.

Each life is a complex combination of sensations, thoughts, actions, and history that we bring to each day. From the earliest moments of life, we experience degrees of joy and despair that mold the ways we negotiate the world around us. Within my practice, we create an atmosphere of safety and trust. The psychotherapy services provided allow for exploration into early beliefs and experiences previously hidden from the conscious mind. By increasing awareness of sensation and past association we increase insight. Mindfulness and compassion result in a renewed sense of self and choice.

My focus is on life transitions for children, teens, and adults. My approach is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship based on compassion, trust, and connection. Here, in a safe non-judgmental space, growth, healing, self-care, and personal development can occur. Transitions and change bring a wide range of emotions and each individual and family member will cope with it differently. I work with the client and family members if needed to identify obstacles that inhibit growth and help them move forward through these transitions to help reach their goals. Feelings are processed with the therapist to help manage them.

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.
