My approach to therapy is conversational in style. Over my more than 25 years of practice, I have found that interaction enhances the energy level in the room and builds a strong relationship between my client and myself. I offer a good deal of feedback and it is in this give and take that we define the vital issues confronting a person. This relationship is a therapeutic alliance, a conversation between two people interacting as equal members of a team, to achieve the goals that have been set. This therapeutic alliance is the foundation for all the work that we do.

Possible reasons why you want to start therapy: You want to learn more about yourself. You are feeling alone, misunderstood, stuck and you may or may not have people around you who support you but you still feel this way. You want to make a change or you're in the middle of a change (wanted or unwanted) and you need support. You are looking for an objective, skilled and compassionate opinion. You are in need of someone to point out your blind spots, with discretion. You feel unable to achieve your dreams or life goals no matter how hard you try. If any of these reasons resonate with you, I can help.

My goal is to help support and guide you through identifying and managing areas of life that may feel incomplete, problematic or out of sorts. Many of us have thoughts, beliefs or behaviors that prevent us from living the peaceful & joy-filled life we deserve. Trauma, early life experiences and/or life challenges/transitions can leave us feeling hopeless, alone and triggered.

Others don't click and that's perfectly ok. Let's see if we fit.

Many people create lives which appear to be enviable but are not able to enjoy them. Others appear to have assembled all the pieces for success and happiness but repeatedly sabotage themselves. Why? I believe the answer often involves safety issues that are not understood. While the person is objectively safe, psychologically they are not. And when the brain is presented with a choice between happiness and survival, it chooses survival. The result may be blocked capacity for joy or a penchant for chaotic choices that subvert professional success and loving relationship. The prime mover of these patterns is rooted in personal memory.

Sometimes we find ourselves at an inner-crossroads. Maybe you’ve realized you’re repeating cycles you know you want to break. Maybe you’re feeling unfulfilled but can't pinpoint why. Maybe you feel tossed around by your own intense emotions, or maybe you just can’t seem to make the changes you crave. You’re not alone. I work with clients who are often smart and anxious, who tend to feel exhausted by working so hard yet somehow still feel like it’s never enough. I also work with clients who feel sensitive to the world around them, often to the point of overwhelm.

You’re so tired. And you’re tired of saying you’re tired. Especially after these exhausting COVID years. It’s so hard to turn your mind off from your worries and your endless to-do list. You’re overwhelmed, wondering when things will get easier. You provide so much care to others, but you get lost in the shuffle. Your temper flares easily. So much has changed in your life, and you wonder if you will feel like yourself again. Care work is incredibly hard and often invisible, and caring for yourself in the midst of that is even harder.

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.
