From my training and over twenty five years experience in practice, I have developed a non-judgmental, collaborative, and holistic approach to help people explore their problems in living. I work with all ages from a developmental perspective which I find invaluable. I love seeing children because of their innate desire to grow. Tapping into the teen's natural thrust towards independence propels the work forward as I stay in tune with adolescent goals. With adults, I'm mindful of a person's history, but stay in the present using the therapeutic relationship to heal the past and expand awareness.

I am a psychodynamic/analytically trained clinical social worker. I have been teaching clinical practice and practicing for over 30 years. Its often quite frightening to come to a stranger and share one's suffering. I often recommend that one initially goes for a consultation. The consultation hopefully, will provide a sense if the therapist can be of help. Therapy is a collaboration of two people. People often seek therapy when there is a painful loss or disappointment in their lives. Understanding and support helps in the recovery process.

I believe in the uniqueness of each individual and therefore do not have an "ideal client". I work best with adults who are sensitive and motivated. I am patient and therefore can go at the pace of my client. I have a lot of experience with helping adults reach their potential in work, relationships and the pursuit of their true interest. I have worked with people with: depression, low self-esteem issues, relationship issues, career issues, anxiety, trauma, more severe mental illness and issues of loss and grief.

We all hit roadblocks in our lives that prevent us from living a more satisfying life. Perhaps you’re going through a life transition and are struggling to adjust. You may be feeling more stressed, depressed, or anxious and this is getting in the way of your day to day and your relationships. Psychotherapy may be just what you need at this moment. Choosing the right therapist will depend on whether you can connect with that person, the therapist's skill level, what you are looking to get out of therapy, and how ready you are to embark in this process of change.

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.

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’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.
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.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
