I feel grateful for my job as a therapist everyday. Adolescents,
adults
, couples, families and parents come to me because they are experiencing depression, anxiety, hopelessness, ongoing family conflict, low self-esteem and other difficulties. If something is not right in your life you can expect me to initially listen intently as we work together to clarify your goals, so that your vision for a different life informs everything we do.

I have considerable experience working with: teachers, adult children of aging parents, middle age and older
adults
.
Sometimes our problems and pain are too much for us to manage on our own. I can help people understand their relationships with others and manage the challenges in their lives. My clients find me easy to talk to: I believe I know when to be quiet and when people need my help to talk about their suffering and struggles. Together my clients and I identify the troublesome patterns in their relationships - professional and personal - and figure out how to change those patterns. Sometimes I am there just to be with people as they acknowledge and bear what cannot be changed.

We all have stories that we do not read out loud. Yet, what we struggle to realize is that many of these stories we tell ourselves are not always written by us. Through our work together, we can put the pen back in your hands and re-author these stories. Individual Therapy for Preteens (Ages 9-12), Teens (Ages 13-19) and

I work with adolescents and
adults
who are open to using music as a tool for healing. I've worked in a variety of settings, all which showed me how deeply traumatic experiences and relationships impact one's functioning. I currently work in an environment that focuses on a holistic approach to healing for those impacted by trauma. Music can provide a beautiful “back door” into feelings, particularly for those who have difficulty expressing or even experiencing their feelings due to dissociation or otherwise. Music has changed my own life, and I am moved to help others heal through the magic of music and relationships.

I enjoy working with
adults
of all ages, older teens and college students.
At some point in life most of us experience feeling lost, frustrated, sad, or anxious. When it gets to the point where you feel immobile or stuck, that's when counseling can be helpful. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore feelings and thoughts that keep you bogged down. I can help you develop new coping strategies so when you're faced with difficult challenges, you have the tools to overcome them. Whether your needs are short or long term, I firmly believe that counseling can improve the quality of your life.

With 7+ years of experience working with
adults
, teens, children and infants I am well versed in several different therapeutic techniques that can be adapted to fit each person’s needs.
Reaching out for support can be hard, but you are not alone. Everyone has experienced their own life journey which can involve grief/loss, relational ruptures, parenting struggles or trauma. Sometimes this journey can leave
adults
in a place where it is hard to find the motivation to complete everyday tasks, manage life stress or have patience with our loved ones. This can be true for children too, which may cause them to struggle in school, have emotional outbursts or display signs of anxiety. No matter what is bringing you, your child, or family to this moment in time, I am honored to be a part of your journey.

Hello! If you struggle with thoughts that keep "recycling" and emotions (or emotional numbness) that keep you stuck in old patterns and unsatisfying relationships, you are not alone. Most of us have never learned how to deal with painful, insistent thoughts, memories and feelings. I have over 17 years of experience helping my clients learn and integrate ways to move beyond depression, anxiety, anger, shame, and trauma. You bring your longings, and I bring deep respect for your experience and values, as well as abiding hope (and a touch of humor). Together, we open a path to a life full of meaning and fulfilling relationships.

While a significant portion of my practice is focused on working with individual
adults
in psychotherapy, I have specialty training in child, adolescent and family psychology and work with many younger patients as well.
As a psychologist in private practice, I have the opportunity to work with people in order to optimize their emotional well-being. I work collaboratively with individuals to assist their identifying factors which have caused distress. Together we work to discover the obstacles to feeling better. We consider patterns that have developed over time to understand their adaptive benefits and maladaptive consequences. This approach provides opportunities to evaluate and to chart better ways to respond to life's challenges. I utilize a psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approach with an emphasis on increasing awareness of one's reactions and experiences.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in growth-oriented counseling with
adults
& couples. My clients typically work to increase emotional awareness of their present choices or patterns which lead to various forms of distress. This pain often causes significant disruption in their social, work, physical lives or intimate relationships. Early childhood experiences influence how we all experience our lives today. Insights and associations during talk therapy often bring previously unseen options to light that lead to healthier choices and decreased stress and pain. These sessions take place weekly over the course of many months or more to provide the foundation of lasting growth.

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.
