I work with people who are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, and they may be experiencing anxiety or depression, or feelings of low self esteem or hopelessness and are searching for meaning and purpose, to make sense of their lives and their world and their place in it. They may want to improve how they communicate with others and themselves by learning to challenge and change negative and destructive thought and behavioral patterns. As social creatures we want and need to be heard and seen, to be validated and accepted!

Most of us want more from our lives than just the absence of symptoms. To thrive, we need meaning, purpose, pleasure, connection with others, and a healthy relationship with the self. If you're here, you already know how to survive. I'd like to help you resolve issues that are getting in the way of having the life you want, whether that's a traumatic past, mental health symptoms, or trouble with relationships. I am queer, sex-positive, body-neutral, and affirming of your identities.

Therapy is an organic process that gives support and guidance. Our experiences and beliefs about ourselves and the world create emotional holding patterns of behavior. When we face these with compassion for ourselves, we become freer and more peaceful. Self compassion is a key piece of moving into deeper self connection and self acceptance. If this kind of self intimacy interests you, please contact me to begin.

You are not alone in experiencing times when you need extra support - ideally from someone who makes you feel safe, accepted, understood, and warmly cared about, as well as someone skilled in their craft. My clients experience me in this way. I am passionate about working with people who are dealing with a wide range of issues, including relationship difficulties, grief and loss, major transitions, depression, anxiety, addiction, co-dependence, and trauma. Research shows that no one therapeutic approach is more effective than another – rather, the relationship between client and therapist has the greatest impact on healing.

I am deeply committed to helping couples and individuals understand the pitfalls to open and honest communication in their relationships. My clients are typically evolving in a psychospiritual and holistic realm -- and yet are facing challenges in their everday relationships. As a result,
they are equally committed to cultivating an awareness of their thoughts, feelings and habits. My clients often find the "tools" and build new "brain cells" for both present and future change. I always emphasize the folowing equation: KNOWLEDGE ("tools" and new "brain cells") + EXPERIENCE = CHANGE!

I appreciate how difficult the process of choosing a therapist can be. When we are feeling hurt, overwhelmed, and vulnerable finding the right "fit" for therapy is essential. I believe that therapy is a powerful opportunity to exam what is, or is not, working in our lives. We all have the capacity to meet the challenges and struggles life will inevitably bring, but sometimes we need assistance to see what the next right steps are for us to move forward. If you are seeking a compassionate listener who will non-judgmentally assist you in making sense of life, I am the therapist you are looking for.

I believe that it is never too late—or too early—for us to become more whole, and more truly ourselves. Whether we are making major life decisions, wrestling with longstanding difficulties, or longing for shifts we can’t yet name, we need access to a sense of who we truly are. When that access is blocked, the result can be anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, relational trouble, isolation, self-harm, destructive patterns, or simply feeling lost. Coming into meaningful relationship with another person in therapy is a powerful way to restore your connection with yourself—or to build it for the first time.

I love working through challenging situations with people and I have found that most issues can be resolved over the course of a few weeks or months. My sessions are usually about 70 minutes because that's how long a complete and satisfying discussion takes. I don't intend to see you for nearly as long or as often as you think, and you might be surprised at the range of things I want to talk about. Your life is a lot more than your presenting complaint.

Through therapy with me, you can expect a transformative and agenda-free space in which to explore, discover, grow and empower yourself. My approach to therapy is broad and inclusive. I have specific training in humanistic psychology, depth psychology, and relationship counseling. I often work with dreams, as well as draw from cognitive behavioral and somatic techniques. However, far more important than any particular modality or technique is what arises in the present moment interaction between you and me.

After over 50 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in settings as diverse as prison and preschool, I have come to the conclusion that the root of most psychological suffering is a discrepancy between who we really are and who we have been expected to become or expect ourselves and others to be. This discrepancy between the "Self" and the personality we develop causes immense suffering within individuals, between individuals and in the culture as a whole. My goal is to help clients find their own truth or "Self" and live their lives from that place.

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.
