Among my years of experience, I have also treated grief, aging, and caregiver burnout. I am a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) and work with court-ordered high-conflict divorce and custody cases, providing reunification therapy, coparenting therapy, and safe harbor therapy.

Waitlist for new clients
We all have strengths and skills. Sometimes we have tried everything and are out of ideas. If we knew a better way, we would use it! Sometimes we face challenges we could not anticipate or prepare for. The stress we deal with, the depression or anxiety we feel, can interfere with our relationships or functioning and become an obstacle to the life we want. Understanding how our past shapes our present can help us create a more hopeful, satisfying future. If your challenges have brought you to the point where you are ready for additional support, I’d like to help you increase your tool box and reconnect with your own resilience.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. My expertise is working with individuals who suffer with OCD and Anxiety. Those of you who struggle with this disorder can attest to the intrusive nature of your obsessions and compulsions. OCD disrupts your mental capacity to know what is true. You are in a constant state of anxiety, questioning your unwanted thoughts, like a recording on auto-replay. While OCD can be anxiety-provoking, there is hope for a better way of working through your struggle. The therapeutic process can help sufferers, like you, come to understand the nature of your OCD and learn to live a more value-centered life.

My style is deeply conversational. When I meet with people, I tend to help them develop and elaborate upon the stories of their joy and suffering, laughter and sorrow. I carefully help them make connections that they have not thought about before. In doing so, new possibilities for understanding and coping unfold. Often I use metaphor and narrative examples to help develop new experiences or teach new ideas. My clients describe their experiences of our sessions as thought-provoking, warm, and caring, with "a-ha" moments along the way.

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.
