I am well-versed in groups for addiction and prefer individual counseling for issues in later recovery or dual diagnosis. I see adults and motivated adolescents in my practice. Both men and women are welcome as are couples and families. Other specialty areas are sexual abuse and mood disorders.

Life can often seem confusing and out of control. During those times, it can be difficult to maintain a daily routine and enjoy the little moments. It’s common to experience highs and lows that come along with stress but sometimes washing your hair can even feel like a mountain to climb. As a therapist, I would like to come alongside you and help in those times of difficulties.

All of us encounter struggles throughout life. At times, those struggles can be overwhelming and challenge our ability to cope. During those times it is difficult and sometimes, impossible, to recognize our own inherent strength. Therapy can allow for a safe space to work through those struggles. I enjoy working with clients in developing self awareness of their own strengths. Together, we can then re-build or construct new ways to cope with life's stressors.

We all differ in meaningful ways, and therefore, therapy is different with each person. With careful, non-judgmental, and respectful listening, I hope you will feel deeply understood and hopeful, and we will be able to work together in a genuine, collaborative way. I work with adults with different difficulties and emotional struggles like depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, relationship issues, LGBT, cancer, life transitions and losses. Being of an international background and past military service, I value diversity and am deeply attuned to your unique background (cultural, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation) and its effect on your individuality.

All of life is about relating. All day long we are in some kind of relationship with another person. How comfortable and how capable are you in communicating your needs and desires? Do you feel understood by your partner? Are you feeling stressed or directionless in your relationship, your career, your life purpose? Have you suffered a loss and are grieving? Do you have a Inner Critic that is always whispering in your ear critiquing your every move? If you would like non-judgmental support, practical tools and straightforward feedback, please call.

Many of my clients have a lot of knowledge about both themselves and mental health issues yet they still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. I love working with my clients to help them create a deeper understanding of their core issues, process emotional and cognitive barriers, and then make the changes they want in their lives.

You're a superhero. No matter how many times you get knocked down, you get back up and keep fighting the enemy until it is defeated. Sometimes a person needs help figuring out who they are. The enemy your trying to defeat might be substance abuse or figuring out how to deal with life after substance abuse. Your villain may be depression, anxiety, or other mental health diagnoses. It could be recovering from trauma. I can help you find the best ways to move forward and learn to help yourself through building coping skills, learning mindfulness, and increasing self esteem and self worth to live your most fulfilling life.

It takes courage to ask for help and start the healing process. I commend you for your work and desire to ask for help. When we experience loss, anger, depression, anxiety, or a loss of identity it can be discouraging. I work with clients to decompress and unravel such feelings to then enter the healing process.

Life is experienced in relation to other people-Optimal functioning occurs within the context of relationships. To achieve this, I use a Cyclical Psychodynamic approach. This is an integrative approach to therapy, which combines the most effective parts of empirically supported therapies- relational psychodynamics, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and family systems theory. It works by creating corrective emotional experiences in therapy and developing new ways of interacting with others outside of therapy. This process facilitates increased awareness, resilience, better strategies, and increased effectiveness.

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, 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.
