My professional training as a therapist was based in systems theory (i.e. change affects everything) and informed me of many other modalities. My work in the public mental health system has broadened my skill set to be comfortable working with severe and persistent mental health disorders as well. Through the years, I have collected several interventions and strategies to apply to the counseling work that I now offer to families,
adults
and couples.

I bring a relational, collaborative approach to work with
adults
, adolescents, couples and groups.
I approach my work with an awareness that the reasons we seek therapy are extremely individual. I strive to work with clients on the goals they bring, whether immediate or long term, and to adapt my approach as these goals evolve. I am intentional about noticing and normalizing—seeing the life stage clients are in and how this might be amplifying difficulties, and emphasizing the normalcy of struggle, pain and shame. Having had the benefit of a therapeutic relationship during some life transitions of my own, I am passionate about the power of connection in therapy.

adults
and families that had experienced significant trauma.
I see therapy as a tool to help people navigate this complex world in a way that’s connected to their authentic self. Therapy can help people process pain, manage depression and anxiety, find inner strength and create stronger relationships. My hope is that our therapeutic relationship can guide you in establishing new, healthier patterns of living.

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.
