Finding a therapist and making your first appointment is a courageous first step towards personal growth and healing. In my work, I strive to create a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space where all of your parts are welcomed. I believe that one of the most important parts of healing is developing a compassionate therapeutic relationship, built upon respect, trust, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I work primarily with teens and adults who may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more.

On parental leave until May, 2023. We are all fighting hard battles, and we all need connection and support in order to grow and live fully into our lives.

I bring a systems perspective to therapy, and I help my clients locate and tell their stories within the frames of family, community, and society.

I help gifted, hurting individuals and couples, often ages 30-60, experience relief from the loneliness and destructive behaviors that arise from trauma and addiction. I work with individual survivors of physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse, as well as couples in distress, moving with them through the cold shadow of death when there seems no way out, to find a way through. My clients find increasing freedom from anxiety, fear, anger, and self-hatred. I help people stop running from their pain and shame and start walking in peace to make conscious positive choices.

I believe that each of us needs help from time to time. I like to think that all therapy is about recovery- recovering one's self, or maybe discovering one's self for the first time. Events from our childhood or past will influence our thoughts, beliefs and patterns moving forward. At times, we need to take a closer look in order to break old habits and patterns and develop new, healthier ways of dealing with life and relationships. Things like trauma, depression, anxiety and inability to cope effectively with daily life can keep us trapped in a state of low motivation and despair. Therapy is one way to unlock the true self.

It is my belief that many of our current problems come from our earliest relationships, and that these relationships have an enduring impact on our present lives. I work with men and women who are struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth or not-being-good-enough, anger, divorce adjustment, and fear of losing control. I am also active in helping parents learn to be more connected and calm with their children, creating healthy relationships that will impact their children throughout their lives.

A strong therapeutic relationship can provide the context for transformative healing and growth. I work well with people who have experienced trauma or deprivation in their early experience and who desire healing from those events, as well as those who feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Since many chronic issues contain elements of earlier experiences, our work together may include increasing your awareness about how your past is at work in the present, reducing its ability to dictate your responses and choices, and letting go of defensive strategies that worked in the past but are not serving you now.

I work mostly with individuals who consider themselves high achievers, including many athletes, entrepreneurs and those who work in the music industry. People who come to see me often say that their life looks great on paper but something is missing internally. They want to work on relationships - romantic or familial - anxiety/depression, or maybe their relationship with a behavior that's not working for them anymore - alcohol, marijuana, food, sex, etc. I help people gain clarity and take action toward creating the change they want in their life. Often the person's career is explored in addition to their personal life.

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.
