Parenting is one of life's great adventures. Faced with an abundance of books, experts, and opinions it can be difficult to determine what to do when dealing with a challenge.

Receiving an evaluation may provide validation or help you to access supports and services within your school or community.

Regardless of your reason for seeking individual therapy, couples therapy, meditation instruction, consultation, or a psychological evaluation, I would be happy to help you clarify your goals and work toward them.
I am a depth psychologist practicing in Pennsylvania and remotely in 36 states via PsyPact. It may be that an external life event has left you feeling disoriented or, perhaps, you are confronted by an inner feeling of emptiness or agitation that is difficult to ignore. The common thread of suffering runs through all of our lives. Symptoms, and other manifestations of our psychological life, contain an important message. Deciphering the symbols of the psyche, via thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and lived experience, allows us to lead a more balanced and meaningful life.

I believe that the better someone understands their experiences, the better they are able to understand themselves and the larger story of their identity. Our work together will involve being curious not only of what's being said but also what's not being said, resisted, or minimized. We may start to notice discrepancies that provoke insight. A deeper level of understanding of your experiences results in a more integrated sense of self. Changes in the way we understand ourselves and the interactions that fill our lives have a profound impact on the decisions we make and how we then live our lives.

From my office in Charlottesville, VA, I offer ONLINE only (via ZOOM) therapy for those 18+. Clients don't come to me because they are happy but, most likely, because they are in pain and hurt. They are tired of feeling stuck, and the fear, tears, and whatever seems to be causing them all. They aren’t interested in therapy because they want therapy. In fact, they are not even sure IF they want therapy—but they ARE sure they want to get unstuck and feel better. So, for you: here you are. . . not all that sure that this is going to help but damn sure you want to do something that might make a positive change and get your life moving!

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.
