If you are experiencing difficulties adapting to the inevitable life changes and transitions that are part of the human experience, it may be the right time to seek the guidance of a psychologist. My overall goal is to help my clients attain balance and a healthier level of functioning through the development of insight, self awareness, coping skills and stress management strategies. By creating a safe and supportive environment for this learning to occur, clients improve their ability to deal with everyday stressors and ultimately increase their overall quality of life.

I have dedicated my career to helping my clients find the balance missing in their lives. My caseload currently consists of clients suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, family concerns, body image issues, and those who lack motivation. My style of therapy is to help direct my clients in a positive manner with a "plan in hand" after leaving my office. A plan that allows you to produce tangible progress. Together, through hard work, I can help you discover the path to moving forward in a positive direction.

Tired of therapists who just listen but provide no feedback? I offer a different approach. If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with typical coping methods, and seeking positive results, it’s time for a change. Specializing in individual and couples therapy, trauma, life challenges and transitions, gender dysphoria, sexually related struggles, identity issues, anxiety, depression, or just seeking a safe space to vent, you can count on holistic care where I integrate mind, body, nutrition, movement, and spirituality to provide the support you, or you and your partner, deserve.

Is your relationship lacking joy and desire? Maybe you've somehow slipped from lovers to roommates. Maybe you fight constantly about the same old things. Maybe you avoid each other at all costs. Maybe you're not dating each other anymore, let alone having sex regularly. And maybe you're ready for a change. You know your relationship is worth saving, but you've tried everything imaginable to no avail. Relationships are tough.

I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families affected by addiction since 1992; in New York and now in Florida. The loneliness, devastation, low self-esteem, doubt and fear that accompany the disease can be paralyzing, self-defeating and traumatic for some people. The good news is that with treatment there is hope, freedom and a chance to learn and incorporate new skills to live a full and healthy life. My focus with my clients is knowing that there is a better way and we work on finding the path that will begin that journey with understanding, compassion and developing inner strength.

Wires crossed? Having trouble communicating with a person/people you love the most? Does the end of the relationship seem imminent? Wait up - cosnsider counseling before cord cutting. My philosophy is to ‘leave no stone unturned.’ In couples/family therapy HEALTHY communication in high conflict situations IS crucial. Family work is artfully dynamic - a science & skill. I’m proficient in both, working objectively with family members (individually &/or as a unit). This allows each person to safely express unmet needs. Being kind & respectful toward each other (I teach that too), is an important non-negotiable…whatever the outcome.

Are you feeling like you’re constantly juggling a dozen plates, trying to keep up with the demands of work, family, and everything in between? Or maybe you are standing at a crossroads, facing a major life change – a career shift, a relationship transition, a move to a new city, or the loss of a loved one – and you're feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of it all. Symptoms from burnout, anxiety, and uncertainty can sneak up on even the strongest among us. It’s that relentless feeling of being stretched too thin, of never feeling like enough, of constantly worrying about dropping the ball. If you can relate, you’re not alone.

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’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.
