Whether you are struggling with unwanted thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, or lack of motivation, I am here to help you gain insight to what you are experiencing. Although the process of healing can be an arduous journey, my goal is to support you and advocate for you in any way I can. I am an LGBTQ-affirming professional.

ALL of us have experienced past traumatic events (to a greater or lesser degree) that may be impacting how we think, feel and act, today. I’ve learned from my clients and through my own personal experience that talk-therapy is just not enough! In obtaining the certifications needed, I’m confident I’m utilizing the most effective, progressive, therapeutic modalities to help clients, holistically, heal their brains, minds and bodies. By removing the roots of a client's anxiety/depression, I’ve seen tremendous breakthroughs with empowering clients to live the life they’ve always wanted; a life filled with happiness and peace.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for more than 40 years. I enjoy my work and am usually successful at helping clients achieve their therapy goals. Most of my clients tell me I am very easy to talk to and feel comfortable with quickly. I use a holistic and integrated approach considering all aspects of the individual-mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. My primary modality is cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I like to incorporate some of the latest methods for rapid symptom relief in my practice, in order to provide services with maximum benefits in as brief a time as possible.

"There is nothing wrong with you. There is something wrong with what happened to you." The ways we are treated by others can convince us that there is something inherently wrong with who we are. Trauma and negative life experiences teach us what to believe about ourselves and the world around us, but sometimes they inform us inaccurately. Whether you've experienced abuse, difficult relationships, loss, or grief, I would love the opportunity to join you as you rediscover who you are and walk into healing and wholeness.

In the words of Virginia Satir, we humans tend to choose the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. As we wrestle with our fears, we often adopt patterns of controlling, avoiding, and numbing instead of accepting and confronting our suffering as God-given catalysts of growth and even purpose. As we sink deeper and continue to cling to what is familiar and comforting in the short run, we form harmful relational patterns or cycles of addictive impulsivity over time. Know that you aren’t meant to bear this burden alone. Counseling is for those who are brave enough to embrace their vulnerable state and learn from it.

Traditional therapy isn’t ideal for entrepreneurial couples and leaders. Here's what I've found. 1. One “drops out” while significant changes are on the horizon. 2. Lack of follow through in between sessions. 3. It can feel lopsided with one experiencing more support than the other. 4. Finding regular time for sessions can be a huge issue. Couples want momentum & real change that lasts.

It's not very often that males are encouraged to seek help when dealing with the challenges of life. As a result, we resort to age-old adages that tell us to ignore the pain, 'man up', and soldier through it. But the fact of the matter is that we feel, we suffer, and we hurt and it has nothing to do with being a man and everything to do with being a human being. Men want healthy relationships, we want to be happy, we want to feel in control of our lives and be fulfilled. Taking the step towards mental health is an integral part of this process.

Does life with your partner look different then you imagined on your wedding day? Are you worried to bring up issues because it always seems to end in a blowout? Is the person you used to love and adore now a source of pain and stress? Or maybe there been a betrayal of trust that has made it impossible to move forward and find joy with each other? Is it difficult to enjoy your children and spouse because of the demands of raising children, working and running a household? Has there has been a loss of passion and intimate connection? Perhaps you feel you are simply roommates.

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.
