Individuals and couples who come into therapy are often experiencing some struggle in their life. In therapy with you, my goal is to address these immediate concerns, explore with you how they may stem from longer-term unmet concerns, and work with you toward more effective management and if possible, resolution. With advanced training from the William Alanson White Institute for Psychoanalysis, my clinical orientation is psychodynamic and interpersonal, and we will also use other therapies including Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral for an eclectic, rounded treatment approach.

People typically seek treatment because something in their life isn't working as they wish it was. Often this is frustrating, sad, and isolating. I partner with clients to dig in and figure out what's working and what's not, and create a path forward to a life that feels more fulfilled and on their terms. I provide a warm, safe space to explore how a client got to the place of seeking help, and a direct, solutions-oriented approach to implementing skills, and reparenting unhelpful behaviors that no longer serve the client.

Trying to show up for your children can seem overwhelming when you're also trying to manage your own everyday stressors - you're feeling run down. It's exhausting trying to make sure everyone's cups are full when your own gets emptier every day. You're back at square one with things you were making progress on pre-pandemic, and things that were a struggle before now are bolded, underlined and highlighted. Your kids' developmentally normal - but challenging - behaviors are triggering in you the unhealthy relational patterns from your own upbringing that you've been intentionally trying to leave behind.

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis.

Through various techniques and long-standing approaches, we’ll be able to figure out what behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living your best life, and find meaning in everyday situations.

My goal as a therapist is to create an open and safe space for clients in which we can work collaboratively and foster change. Together we can explore both what is troubling and unrewarding for you as well as strengths you may find hard to discern and fully realize. As you gain a better understanding of all aspects of yourself, we will work to transform patterns that no longer serve you and reimagine more satisfying ways of being. Our goal will be to help you find a more positive and capable sense of yourself with a greater ability to face and overcome challenges.

I am deeply passionate about supporting others who wish to actively increase their self-knowledge and develop the resources with which to heal, grow, and reach their potential for a full and meaningful life. In modern psychology we must utilize a combination of psycho-social-cultural-and-spiritual methods with which to treat the mind and understand the self; we require a vast set of tools that are rooted both in science and the art of being human in an often difficult world. Without such wisdom it is far too easy to fall prey to the ailments of a fragmented life, leaving us anxious, depressed, and unable to process our trauma.

In these unsettling times, it can be all too easy to revert to the comfort of the familiar. But before you act reflexively, ask yourself whether you can imagine acting reflectively and with intention. Our work together will encourage you to examine your automatic beliefs and default settings and question whether old patterns are serving you well. Experimenting with fresh approaches to challenging situations often leads to surprising new outcomes and allows you to reshape the narrative you carry about yourself, which in turn may shift your relationships with others.

Feeling stuck? Need help finding your path? All changes, even positive ones, can disrupt our lives and force us to adjust to a new version of ourselves. Unwanted changes often bring a range of emotions—shock, grief, anxiety, sadness, denial, anger, guilt, and more. These feelings impact our thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being, affecting concentration, decision-making, eating, and sleeping. I help adults of all ages navigate life's transitions, such as adult children leaving or returning home, retirement, downsizing, chronic or life-altering medical conditions, and both death and non-death losses.

I work with individual adults, parents, children, and families. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and manage stress, support their child's behavior and growth, and address issues in the parent/child relationship. Parenting a young child can bring great delight and satisfaction, and also present isolation, anxiety, bewilderment and depression. With additional training in infant and early childhood mental health, I help parents & children increase joy in their connection, reduce challenging behavior, get more sleep, navigate power struggles, & find healing after a traumatic experience.

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.
